Notice I said my Myers family. Sgt John Jacob Myers later Lt John Jacob Myers was General Fremont's aide. We are connected to the Doty's of Edwin Doty of the Mayflower.

The Myers family were riverboat people in Pittsburgh connected to a Lewis and Clark family. They are all buried next to the Sill and Kennedy family. One person is named John F Kennedy. The McKeesport History Center wants to say John Kennedy. Richard Nixon and Gov Lawrence visited that grave site at Versailles Cemetery in Pittsburgh McKeesport.

I think this has something to do with the Nixon Theater in Pittsburgh owned by actor and dancer Gene Kelly and Dr John Vetter who was part of the ToddAO company. The Nixon was setup for ToddAO.

This leads to the Selznick, Mitchell, Hitchcock family of Pittsburgh. They lived on Ellsworth Ave in Pittsburgh next to General James Scott Negley who sister was married to Thomas Mellon.

David O Selznick produced Gone With the Wind and there was a Catholic Kennedy in the movie. It seesm Margaret Mitchell had help with the book by F Scott Fitzgerald.

The Nixons were said to be another riverboat family in Pittsburgh.
