Atkins, Adams, Apjohn, Apthorp, Aubrey. Balch, Barlow, Bayly, Benlow, Bevan, Bowen, Boydell, Breese, Broadus, (Broadhurst,) Broughton, Bulkley.

Watkins or Gwatkin, Williams, Winn, Wilkins, Wilkinson, Watts, Walters or Waters, Wills, Willis, Wallis, Wall, Warner, Wayles, Wilks, Womack, Wootan, Wayne. 1. The following surnames are taken from those of the ancient princes of the country:--Cadwallader, Griffin, Gwynnett, (Gwynnedd,) Craddock, (Caradoc,) Howell, Lewellyn, Madoc, Owen, Rice, (Rhuys,) Tudor, (Tewdor.) 2. These by adding "s" to Scripture names,--viz.:Adams, Daniels, Davies, (Davids,) Ellis, (Elias,) Johnes or Jones, James, Isaacs, Jacobs, Matthews, Phillips, Stephens, Symonds, Peters, Thomas. 3. And these by adding "s" to common Christian names:--Clements, Edmunds, Edwards, Evans, Hughes, Humphreys, Jeffreys, (Geoffreys,) Richards, Roberts, Rowlands, Wills, Williams, Watts, Walters. 4. "Ap" or "ab" means son, and is often prefixed to other names; and the affix "kins" denotes a collateral relation: thus, Bevan is equivalent to Ap-Evan; Bowen, Ap-Owen; Breese, Ap-Rees; Parry, Ap-Harry; Powell, Ap-Howell; Pugh, Ap-Hugh; Price, Ap-Rice; Prichard, Ap-Richard; Penry, Ap-Henry. Atkins,(Arthurs'-kin,) Dickens-son, Dawkins, Haskins, Hawkins, Hopkins, Jenkins, Judkins, (Judas-kin,) Pickens, Perkins-son, Tomkins, Watkins, Wilkins. 5. Some of the above names may be Cornish, old British, or otherwise Celtic, rather than strictly Welsh; thus, the English have a proverb,-- "By Tre, Pol, and Pen You may know the Cornish men." 6. It is curious to note how many of the original Puritans of New England, of the Quakers of Pennsylvania, of the Baptists of Virginia and elsewhere, of advocates of extreme republican opinions in matters of State, as well as of Revolutionary leaders, bore names to be found in the above list. Of very many of the citizens of the Piedmont district, in Virginia, the same may be said. Their ancestors may have been attracted thither from its resemblance to the Principality in its physical features.] -- Chrystie MYERS List Administrator at [email protected] SWECKER BROOKOVER MOYERS MYRES KRABAL COWGER

Here's a few more for all of you MYERS and MOYER(S). MUIR MUHER MOIER MOYAR MOHAR MUHIER MULUIER MULUER Remember, think german, irish, scotch, jewish, english, and I'm sure french and Indian dialect with "italic's" and "alphabet's" that were used differently, Even our vowels were used differently in reading and writing, as well as pronounciation too! And if that's not enough for you, just think that our ancestor's probably arrived here not understanding the new world or it's language (oh the barriers they were up against) to begin with and depending on where they arrived depended on how the "record taker" comprehended the "surname" pronounciation that came out of our ancestors poor mouths. VA - probably a germannia colony. SC - surely Scotch-Irish and even if they did come in through MD or PA which would have been staunch Mennonite and/or Amish they still might have migrated to SC or VA which made up for some parts of PA, OH, WV. And the French and Britsh, Indians and so many different fractions of immigrants - no wonder they spellling is so different - well, there you go - I now have that surname variation headache again;) And the French were all over this country too especially in the southern ports. Pioneers!?! Must be a better word then that. Doubt we could or would sustain this today. -- Chrystie MYERS List Administrator at [email protected] SWECKER BROOKOVER MOYERS MYRES KRABAL COWGER

Let me remind everyone that I've now uploaded the ".txt" (text) file to my website where I'll be periodically (when time allows) uploading the "Genealogy of the MEYER Family - by Henry MEYER 1890" for all to download and print-out with wondeful thanks to Gary MYERS of OH whom was so kind and gracious to send a coppy of the book to me. He has given me permission to reprint this old gem. There is alot of mention in the beginning regarding how his ancestors and current family used many different variation's of the surname MEYER from MIER to MOYER, MYRES and MAYER and states that MAHER was the orginal spelling. You'll find the the text at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/meyerbook.txt and if that does not work just goto my mainsite at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/myersfam.html and look for the link to the MEYER BOOK - (which is in no way near finished) but bookmark the site and check back weekly as I'll do my very best to continue typing the book til it's there for all to read - very very interesting lineage. I'm forwarding the MEYER BOOK to all of the newsgroups above because my personal lineage shows that the BROOKOVER'S COWGER and SWECKERS married into MYERS in old VA, now WV ca 1750-1880 and thought it would be of interest to all. -- Chrystie MYERS List Administrator at [email protected] SWECKER BROOKOVER MOYERS MYRES KRABAL COWGER

Thank You Chrystie!!!!! Brenda

Speaking of southern "speaking", you might find the resulting "r" at the end of some names that really is not there. Suzanner, Georgier, Lular. We need to watch for things like this when we almost decide they are not who we are looking for.

Bobbye, You are so right! I can't tell you how many times I've seen MAR MARR MARS and MARRS over and over again in many records. My dad's sister, Aunt Ruth - though raised in Hiawasee, Towns CO., GA her father, my grandfather Ollie Jake MYERS was born in Sevier CO., TN. She keeps telling me that "they" pronounced MYERS as it sounds, and the way she says MYERS in her beautifully southern dialect is MARRS. She has repeatedly told me to look for at the spelling, that it was spelled the way it sounded. Thanks for reminding me of this too.
