Marc, Thanks for the Zer - Isaiah reminder. That is one little quirk that I forgot to explore. I can see the reasoning now. I live in the mountains of NC now (orig. a flatland Marylander) =;o) Some of the old pronounciation is still here, tho the majority of the inhabitants have become northern retirees. <g> Warm regards, Carolyn > Carolyn, > > Fresh out of college, I spent about 8 months traveling throughout the south, > which for me was anything south of Morgantown.

Carolyn, Fresh out of college, I spent about 8 months traveling throughout the south, which for me was anything south of Morgantown. When I found myself waaayyy back in "deep" Appalachia, the accents and dialects were sometimes almost a foreign language to me. The "a" or "ah" at the end of a word frequently became "er", as in Eliza or Liza becoming Lizer. Isaiah is stretching it a bit, but if you say it quickly....Isaiah becomes Iza-er. Zar, with a long A, or Zer could have been a nickname or abbreviated form of the name. Incidently, if you ever go to a deli in the Bronx and order some of that Starkist product with a little mayo, celery and onion on a bagel....The guy behind the counter will tell you you're eating a "tuner" sandwich. I'll only go back there with an interpreter!

http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/pitttext-idx.pl?notisid=00awk9128m&type=header Be sure to click on "List of Settlers in Fayette----etc." (list is several pages long with many of our surnames) Remember there was a State line controversy and names may be yours no matter the Co. or State. =;o) Carolyn

Jane and all: Zer Hagans' name was indeed shortened and likely from Ebenezer; however the Hagans family was not originally Hagans - it was Higgins and their first names were also changed. The reason is only speculation. Somewhere I have a list of the whole family and the changes of names but don't see it now. However, whether Zar Kelley was named for Zer Hagans is only speculation. The name Zar was often shortened from Czar, copy of a title. Some of these title given names which were used locally are amusing - Czar, Doctor, Squire, etc. Examples: Czar Herring, Doctor Glover, Squire (or Esquire) Sypolt - mayabe the only way the family thought the child might achieve a title. I should have stated that the information that Zar was named by the Kelley family was from Zar William Kelley who was a good friend.

I'am the great granddaughter of Leonard Everly from Preston Co. My grandfather was his son Obediah. If you think I may be able to help you please email me at dustyrose65@aol.com. Not sure if we are on the same page here. But if you have some other names I may recognize them.Of course I'am not totally sure that my great grandfather was from W.Va. I'am just assuming that because that is where most of the family came from.

Roy, thanks so mcuh for the info on the slagle/Mckean line. do you by any chance know who the father of Daniel Clyde was? Thanks again Bev

Tigger, Katharine Irene (McKean) Slagle Keller was born May 21, 1882 and died Aug 12, 1935. Her first husband, Daniel Clyde Slagle, was born Jan 18, 1880 and died Jul 16, 1912. Her second husband, Ira Johnson Keller, was born Jul 9, 1891 and died Mar 18, 1952. Hope this helps.

I tried the surname ZAR on genforum and came up with the following: "You should also use the Croatian spelling of the family name which is Car pronounced Tsar." URL for picture of the Croatian area from whence they came. www.reuniontips.com/konavle.jpg No one seems to be tracking early immigrants of that surname, however. <sigh> =;o) Carolyn

Does anyone have any info on the Slagle family from Preston Co. Looking for Daniel, Clyde and Frank, Also looking for Katerine McKean d/o of Jotham Thanks

There was a Belle Zars who was living in Pendleton County a few years ago, so I know there are some WV Zars. Who knows? Beverly Railey Walter a Freeland researcher
