My grandfather was Joseph Lewis (Louis) Myers, Born approx 1910-1912. The family was from the NYC area. I do not know anything other then his name and that he possibly had a brother John. My grandmother was Helen Benson Myers. They had 2 sons. Joseph H and Walter. My grandmother once told me that General Myers was a cousin of mine.
