This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Surface, Cary, Fletcher, Wray, Kelsay, Zerfas. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/1118.1.1 Message Board Post: Donald.--I am not a Surface descendant; it is my sister-in-law who is descended from Cornelius Surface of Thurman, Iowa....My notes say that Rev. Jacob Surface md. (1) Mrs. Mary A. (Kelsay) Wray, died Apr. 28, 1874, and (2) Mrs. Melissa (Cary) Fletcher, died Oct. 22, 1905.....I have always wondered if "Surface" might be "Zerfas" from Somerset county, Pa. One of my Pennsylvania Dutch aunts married into the Zerfas family, and appears to have emigrated. I have never found them. Does you research show any such connections?
