I write for two reasons. A primary one and a secondary one. My primary one is that I found on LDS, an ancestral file that incorporates KISERs from about 10 different states, one of which is VA, and is specifically Rockingham, VA. Two of this fellow's brothers are listed as from Hampshire, VA. Is this Rockingham, by another name? Now this fellow in Rockingham was Richard KISER, b. Feb. 10, 1768, m. Rebecca Moslander, who was b. Cape May County, NJ. Oddly, this NJ woman being involved adds great importance to the search for me. At any rate, the stay was not indefinite in VA, because Richard died, and was buried in Mercer County, Ohio. The possible original spelling was KEYSER, as in the ancestral file, it traces back to a Johannes or John KISER or KEYSER. Now my wife is connected to the KEYSERs of Virginia... specifically RockBRIDGE, VA. I can't help but think there could be a connection between these two. If anyone has ANY Keyser or Kiser data, in Virginia, please let me know, won't you? Now, the secondary purpose in contacting you... I also have a KEYSER Email list. A big one. 122 members, and adding, never subtracting. It has Keyser, Kyser, Cayzer, Keiser, Kaiser, Kiser, Kezer, Kaeser, etc. Someone told me it all goes back to KREYSER eventually in the European lands. I would like to invite any Keyser researchers to join us. We have an archive of about 500 data emails, and it can be accessed via password, that is provided by automated response upon subscription from Listbot.
