TWIMC, I am a descendant of Lawrence Queer of Somerset county. I believe that he first married Anna Boyer about 1785. I am pretty sure they had three children , Adam, Michael and Anna (church baptismal records for Adam and Michael). Anna, Lawrence's first wife, must have died and Lawrence married Rebecca Shallus about 1793, They had several children and remained in Somerset county the rest of their lives. Lawrence and Rebecca's first child is thought to have been Peter b. abt. 1795. Peter married Elizabeth Fisher. They moved to Fayette county and by 1850 were in Donegal Twp in Westmoreland.county. They were both illiterate. I have not found much information about the Queer Family. Best I can tell I am a descendant of Michael and Elizabeth (?) Queer through their daughter, Mary b.1831 m. Samuel Brooks and their daughter, Elizabeth Brooks. Michael died shortly before his father, Lawrence, who died in Somerset co. in 1847. Peter is the most prominent and possibly earliest Queer in Westmoreland co. If anyone runs across this family I'd be interested in the information. Gerald V.
