Subject: Henry MYERS -- 1800 Troy census Hi Everyone, We have spoken before (I believe) concerning my (so-far fruitless) quest to make some sort of meaningful "hit" or contact with my MYERS line beyond my gr gr grandfather, Michael MYERS b May 10, 1812 Rensselaer?? d. Sep 12, 1889 Springport (now called Union Springs), so. Cayuga county (Finger lakes Region), NY I was supplied with a clue by one individual's research on Michael's brother's (Erastus) wife's line stating that Erastus' father was a Henry MEYRS/MEYERS and mother was a Hannah/Anna ??, thus inferring that Michael's parents were the same two, Henry and Hannah/Anna. (Possibly the Hessian soldier, Henrich Meyers, who emigrated to/from Canada.) As a side note and further clue: My Myers ancestors were Presby as far as I know, possibly originating from Palatine area of Germany and might have converted from Dutch Reformed or Lutheran Erastus MYERS built the Presbyterian Church in Springport, NY in 1840 So far, I have found nothing to substantiate this connection (and so far I have nothing better). However, today, as I was cruising the Rensselaer Genweb pages, I came across the following census info (below) on Henry MYERS and Henry MYERS, jun (jr.?). QUESTION: Do you (anyone) have any further info on this line in the 1800 Troy census? Wife and children's names, parents, dates, places, etc.? THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
