In researching my Conrad MYERS I came across the following record in York County, PA, thinking that perhaps Jacob the son of this Conrad MYER could be my Jacob...but then I wondered why Jacob renounced his inheritance in favor of his brother...and eventually learned he had moved to Ohio. Perhaps that is YOUR Jacob since he is not mine---and if not perhaps it will help someone else. Conrad Myer Inquest Awarding The petition of Charles Myer & John Myer by their attorney Charles A.
