Mentions an elderly Jacob Myers of Currytown killed in 1781, but must be a different Jacob because -
"Colquhoun (postoffice) [in Williamsburg]...Among the very early settlers in the vicinity were Jacob Empey, .Jacob Myers, Samuel Kyle, John Colquhoun,..." These people all buried next to each other in one part of the Colquhoun Cemetery. From "Story of Dundas, Canada 1784 -1904, by J Smyth Carter 1905

references 1,2,3,4,6,7 "Your Myers' Ancestors and Their Families" by Rae Myer
reference 5 "The Story of Dundas ` Being a History of the County of Dundas from 1784 to 1904" by J. Smith Carter, 1905, St. Lawrence News Publishing House, Iroqu Page: 456

Not to be confused (like so many on ancestry.com) with John Jacob Myers of PA who was a patriot, not a Loyalist. Nor should he be confused with the Jacob Myers who was killed by the British in Currytown, NY 1781, nor with the Jacob Myers of PA who died in GA 1808. Also the Meyer's who were in Herkimer Co, NY even earlier were probably not related.
