The Will of the other Jacob Myers in Kentucky. This is more interesting and very hard to read. General Alexander Spotswood died without a Will and his property was divided among these people for some unknown reason. To make it easy to read, I highlighted some highlights. General Alexander Spotswood married Elizabeth Washington. Their son Alexander M Spotswood married Elizabeth Lewis who was related to Meriwether Lewis of Lewis and Clark. The Grundy Myers family are also included and they are related to US Attorney General Felix Grundy from Martinsburg.

Levi Myers, a native of Georgetown, South Carolina, was the first Jewish medical graduate at the University of Glasgow, obtaining the MD, in 1787. Myers had been registered for studies at the University of Edinburgh for three years, from 1785/1786 to 1787/1788, after some years of training with a physician in Charleston, South Carolina. Recent studies of Jewish life in Edinburgh have revealed the evidence of a settled group of Jewish inhabitants in the city during the last quarter of the eighteenth century, during the time of Myers’ sojourn in Edinburgh and thirty years before the formal inauguration of Scotland’s first Jewish community. This paper examines the context of Myers’ studies in Edinburgh as an American medical student and as a Jew.
