  • (Witness) Note for Web: John Myers and Theodore Napier 3rd son were mentioned with Sarah Napier and John Myers farmer & Colonial Pioneer. Sarah Napier, born 1788, married John Myers, farmer, of Marykirk, Kincardine, Scotland. Their eldest son, John Myers, 1819-1936. came to Melbourne in 1843. In 1847 or 48, he started farming at Merri Creek and in 1856 he purchased crown land in the Pentland Hills for 15 shillings an acre; there he bred Clydesdale horses and dairy cattle. He took a signific part in having the Presbyterian Church built in the Pentland hills - a beautiful little sandstone building; it stands beside the Western Highway.
