A question about the word 'squire' arose on another list. Just in case anyone has any doubts, here are two definitions, closer in time frame to most of our documents. Webster's 1828 Dictionary esquire ESQUIRE, n. [L. scutum, a shield; Gr. a hide, of which shields were anciently made.], a shield-bearer or armor-bearer, scutifer; an attendant on a knight. Hence in modern times, a title of dignity next in degree below a knight. In England, this title is given to the younger sons of noblemen, to officers of the king's courts and of the household, to counselors at law, justices of the peace, while in commission, sheriffs, and other gentlemen. In the United States, the title is given to public officers of all degrees, from governors down to justices and attorneys. Indeed the title, in addressing letters, is bestowed on any person at pleasure, and contains no definite description. It is merely an expression or respect. squire SQUIRE, n. [a popular contraction of esquire. See Esquire.] ================== Webster's Revised Unabridged, 1913 Edition Esquire (Page: 509) Es*quire" (?), n. [OF. escuyer, escuier, properly, a shield-bearer, F. écuyer shield-bearer, armor-bearer, squire of a knight, esquire, equerry, rider, horseman, LL. scutarius shield-bearer, fr. L. scutum shield, akin to Gr. skin, hide, from a root meaning to cover; prob. akin to E. hide to cover. See Hide to cover, and cf. Equerry, Escutcheon.] Originally, a shield-bearer or armor-bearer, an attendant on a knight; in modern times, a title of dignity next in degree below knight and above gentleman; also, a title of office and courtesy; -- often shortened to squire. &hand; In England, the title of esquire belongs by right of birth to the eldest sons of knights and their eldest sons in perpetual succession; to the eldest sons of younger sons of peers and their eldest sons in perpetual succession. It is also given to sheriffs, to justices of the peace while in commission, to those who bear special office in the royal household, to counselors at law, bachelors of divinity, law, or physic, and to others. In the United States the title is commonly given in courtesy to lawyers and justices of the peace, and is often used in the superscription of letters instead of Mr. Squire (Page: 1398) Squire, n. [Aphetic form of esquire.] Aphetic (Page: 68) [Gr. letting go, fr. to let go.] Shortened by dropping a letter or a syllable from the beginning of a word; as, an aphetic word or form.

Would appreciate very much names of churches that residents of Middletown, Londonderry, Lower Swatara could go to in 1810-1830 time frame. Probably Reformed would be the denomination. Hopefully churches would be in existence to check any records they might have. Thank you very much

(I am also posting to Lancaster Co list since it is the parent county of Dauphin.) Are there are lists (and if so where) for the "Committee of Observation" for Revolutionary War for Lancaster Co? I am specifically looking for Casimer Beyer/Byers Revolutionary service in the "Committee of Observation". He is listed in "Pennsylvania Genealogies Chiefly Scotch-Irish and German" by William Henry Egle, M.D. Also, I need to find a marriage record for Casimer's daughter, Mary, who married Ludwig Brandt, abt 1765-1780 most likely in Lancaster Co since both families resided there. They lived in Derry Twp. This is also stated in the above book. Does anyone have church or baptismal records that prove this marriage? Or else tell me where else to look? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Marcia

I saw there was a book out about that Church, and was hoping the information would be there, but it doesn't appear that way. But I will tuck this away and you never know when it will be the perfect piece I'm missing. Thank you very much.
