I got to thinking, regarding the trip I made today - here all this time whenever I read about MOYER(S) MAYER(S) MEYER(S) and MYERS ca 1750 - ca 1800's from old "Frederick-town" and/or "Frederick City," I just assumed writer's and online poster's meant "Frederick" here in Maryland, an area very near PA; now I'm wondering... did they mean Frederick City, Frederick County, Virginia - not Maryland!?!? Any takers to this question??? P.S. Can't wait to get these picts online for you guys/gals! I even took picts of an old ca 1700's town land tracts map; you should see the MAYERS and MYERS... wow. Supposedly, old Germanna is very near this area; right over the next mountain. Just made me wonder, Leonard, Christopher, Isaac, Jacob and George MYERS seen in ca 1700 documents as well as their tombstones (seen these with my own eyes), yet the old town land tracts - household units, "first and last names - very detailed" had them listed as MAYERS. What a kick! Oh, an to boot... in this same document that list the above MYERS/MAYERS there's mention of the Monocacy River. This is in Maryland, I know, I grew-up in MD. Know that area very well, still live here in MD. Monocacy River is just outside of Frederick, Maryland; near the airport. Rode right by it today! You're just a hop, skip and a jump from the PA border. Because, if it's the line I'm hoping it is, they migrated from only two areas; VA and PA. From there they kept on going down along old Route 11 right smack into TN; and then by the time the mid to late 1800's came along more migration pickup and they broke over the Mississippi heading even more westerly. Though not taking from our associated surnames (without typing every darn one of them again) whom headed down to the Carolina's, too! Shew, had another great and just wanted to share it with all of you. What a kick, I tell you... wish all of you could have been there. Speaking of kicks, I go out of town for one day and you guys are kicking out here. We're alive again!!!! Isn't it great! I love the variety of subjects regarding our heritage, whatever it may be!
