Thanks, as always, for producing interesting items from the Lykens-Williams Valley area of PA. George W. (Washington) Meyers, mentioned above, was my 3rd great grandfather. As reported here previously, he also remains somewhat of a mystery regarding his family roots and origins. Hope someday to know more.
