I realize Myers is a common name and not all Myers families are related. With that in mind, my research is based on the Myers fmaily of Fort Myers in Lee County Florida. Lee County was named after CSA General Robert E Lee and Fort Myers was named after his supply officer CSA Col AC Myers who was a close friend of General Sherman before and really during the Civil War. Both families were know to live in Pittsburgh PA. They also have a connection to President Andrew Jackson via Felix Grundy who niece married a Myers. It's been said this Myers family was related to all or most of the Presidents. This would include Hunter John Myers and his close friend CSA Col John Esten Cooke. Hey a Coincidence. Maybe and maybe not. It depends on what you know about the PA Mellon family as Hunter John Myers' wife was said to be related to them. Hunter John Myers lived with the Catholic Duponts and the Wood family of Virginia Gov James Wood just west of Martinsburg by records out of the Boyd house of Confederate Spy Belle Boyd.
