David, do you have access to Ancestry.com?  I found oodles of Stiers
there, though it's possible none of them is yours.

Also, have you seen the Holthinrichs query to the Oldenburg list back in
2000/2001?  I found that with a Google search for "Holthinrichs."  And I
found a few in Ohio and Kentucky on Ancestry.com.

Let me now what you've already done and if I can look for anything here
for you.
