    1. [Myers] The Silversmith Myers family
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: photo66666 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.myers/7713/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Of Jewish Silversmith Myer Myers. I have lots of records on this family from Myer Myers to his grandson Richmond lawyer Gustavus Adolphus Myers who was the Chairman of the 1858 Montara Incident to his son William B Myers who was an aide to Vice President John Cabell Breckinridge. This family, I believe, is married into the family of Secretary of the Navy John Pendelton Kennedy. William B Myers' daughter Lelia Augusta Myers was married to art dealer John Hill Morgan who was an associate of Henry Clay Frick of Pittsburgh. Due to the Montara Incident, some of the Myers family are Catholic. I have been trying to sort this family out for years. It's been difficult because they are both Jewish and Catholic and Union and Confederate. So if you think you might be related to this Myers family that I believe dates to the late 1400's, I would like to hear from you.
