Maker" CD ROM #193 country & family histories,
PA 1740-1900 disk 1 page 1117;1118;1119 for
some data on a Daniel Simmers (Smeyres) 7a George.
The English authorities of the era had a
propensity for changing spelling to their version
of English and required loyally oath for all persons
emigrating to the colonies there are many branches
of the SIMMERS family originally from the
Scotland --England border area circa 1200! They were
declared outlaws abt 1500 and disbursed to the
Shetland Islands; Scotland; Wales; Ireland; Holland;
& Germany to break up the clan and surpresss rebellion!
The family crest or shield is black with a gold
chevron & 3 duck heads on it.
