My fourth Great grandfather, Henry Myers and at least one of his 8 sons, my
3rd great grandfather, Daniel Myers moved from Spruce Run, Lebanon twp,
Hunterdon County in 1805. I have never found mention of them in any of
these histories, except in the Luzerne County History under bios - two of
Daniel's grandson's are mentioned. I think that at least a few of the other
brothers came too.
Any ideas on where I might find something on them? I do have militia
listings for Henry, a Rev. rejected pension file, info from the Zion
Lutheran Church of Oldwick (monthly meetings at Spruce Run), and 1810 and
later census images.

well.
