Surnames: Maurer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xh.2ADE/955.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Was your Maurer related to Peter Maurer, because that is where he settled in Clay County, I think he has great-grandchildren there yet. Peter came from Germany in 1852, settled first in penn, Ohio, and the Vermillion co. and then to clay county. He was in the Civil War. Let me know if you find a relationship. The Clay County Historical Society have a few records on Peter.
