In 1830 Tobias Myer was advertising for sale the water power and a grist mill and saw mill at "Myers Falls" seven miles southwest of Catskill, on the Kaaters Kill. Which falls are these? Are they High Falls, or the dam at the mill (in Ulster county) on the road from there to Asbury?* Ruins of old mills are plainly to be seen below High Falls. [*See correction following.] This Tobias Myer is buried in the Bloom cemetery on the Palenville road, below Kiskatom, with his wife Hannah Post (daughter of Isaac Post and Catrina Snyder). Their children were two daughters: Emeline 1813/8/29-1900/8/4 married 1842/10/15 Isaac (son of Frederick and Maria Dederick) SAXE 1816/10/29 -1889/ 11/17; and Christina 1816/10/14-1905/3/1 married 1844/11/7 Barzillai (son of Joseph and Elizabeth Snyder) RANSOM 1813/9/17-1884/6/4. Are there any descendants of Tobias Myer living? He was a great-grandson of Christian Meyer 1688-1781 and his wife Ann Geertruy Theunyes through their son John Wilhelm 1714-1794 married Sarah (daughter of Ariaan and Altjen Bogaard) Newkirk, and the latter couples son Rev. Johannes Myer "jr.," familiarly known as "Oom Hans" [Uncle John], 1746-1829 married Seletje [Celia] (daughter of Johannis of the Revolution and Rachel Swart) Snyder. Tobias was the son of Oom Hans and Seletje.

Corrections] It was not Jonathan Myers stone house that burned -that house was demolished by the hand of man- but the later frame building of John C. Rider that had replaced it. The Tobias Myer mills, and his old stone house yet standing, are not where I guessed, but nearly two miles above High Falls, toward Kiskatom- a lovely spot with the road crossing a bridge just below the dam and passing close between house and mill. The old overshot water-wheel has been replaced by a turbine, but in many ways the place is unchanged since 1830. There are two or three other old stone houses in that vicinity, on the Myer-Wynkoop tract, that are now falling to ruin. Who can give their history? Has anyone good photographs for us of these houses in their prime? -C. June 26, 1930.
