There is a Myers book at the Balch Center at Leesburg. This Myers family was from Lancaster PA. I am not sure why the book is there as none of these Myers' seem to be in Loudoun County. The Myers family I am looking for where all at the Funeral of CSA JEB Stuart. It's a fairly well documented funeral and one of the daughters, Morrow Stuart Smith, writes her family came from Lancaster PA. This kind of agrees with Confederate Secretary of War George W Randolph records. He was one of the Pall Bearers. The General's son JEB Stuart II went to NYC to live on the invite of his grandfather Union General Phillip St Georges Cooke. Floria Cooke Stuart and her daughter Morrow Stuart went south. Flora's brother John Esten Cooke stay in Loudoun County and is buried in Clark County at the Old Chapel of Bishop Meade. He is buried about 25 ft from Gov Edmund Jennings Randolph who would be George W Randolph's great uncle. John wrote the book The Life of Hunter John Myers so thus my interest in the Loudoun County Myers family, who ever they are. Hunter John Myers' family was from Martinsburg and they were Catholic. The story is more about his daughter, actress Sally Myers, who attended a Catholic Girls School in Martinsburg with teachers from Mount St Mary's in Emmitsburg MD. This Myers family lived in Morgan County just west of Martinsburg. CSA General JEB Stuart was close friends with the President of Mount St Mary's College. His name was Rev John McCloskey and he was friends with Protestant Rev William Breckinridge who was CSA General John Cabell Breckinridge's nephew. A story out of Mount St Marys is that Rev McCloskey rode with CSA General JEB Stuart to York PA. I have lots more on this but I do believe you get the idea.
