"Story of Barnesville" book: "...a noted colored driver and one of the earliest Barnesville men to make the trip to Baltimore with a six horse team. He is Philip Myers and remembered by some of our older citizens. He was a free-born, colored person and obtained a pass from Frederick, MD, his home town before coming here in 1825. He followed teaming until the railroad made it unprofitable and he died at the age of ninety-six."
