ZERNOW -
ZERNOW Surname. I am researching the related ancestral family name of ZERNOW. I recently came across a NC death certificate of a Lelia Reeves ZERNOW who was born on 25 January 1890 in Virginia, county unknown, and died, unmarried, on 18 September 1983 in Buncombe County, NC. My husband's related ancestor is John ZERNOW born ca. 1811 in PA. and later relocated to Charleston, SC., where he married, wife unknown. I am trying to trace the decendants of this John ZERNOW. There would be a two generation gap between John ZERNOW and Lelia Reeves ZERNOW. I don't know if there is a related connection or not. If anyone has this family surname in their genealogy or any information pertaining to the name ZERNOW, please contact me. Thank you. Sonja K. Killeen

LEHMAN, LAYMAN, LEMON; I am gg grandson of Jacob LAYMAN, Sr, b Berks Co., PA, 11/30/1759; d. Sevier Co. TN 1841; I have found no record of him from his completion of tour of duty with the Continental Army in Culpeper Co., VA in 1880 until he showed up in Sevier Co., TN. sometime before 1798. I'm confident that he spent that 17 years or so in Virginia or the Carolinas. I seek to exchange information with anyone who thinks they may have a connection with this line.
