[9160] Carl r. State Route 314, Mansfield, OH 44904. Ancestry.com offers"Bowman Name Meaning - English and Scottish: occupational name for an archer, Middle English bow(e)man, bouman (from Old English boga 'bow' + mann 'man'). This word was distinguished from Bowyer, which denoted a maker or seller of the articles. It is possible that in some cases the surname referred originally to someone who untangled wool with a bow. This process, which originated in Italy, became quite common in England in the 13th century. The vibrating string of a bow was worked into a pile of tangled wool, where its rapid vibrations separated the fibers, while still leaving them sufficiently entwined to produce a fine, soft yarn when spun. Americanized form of German Baumann (see Bauer) or the Dutch cognate Bouman."

[22295] http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/HUNGARY.htmoffers in 2007: "Possible relative of the kings of Hungary, precise relationship not known: Hedwig of Hungary. The Chronicle of Gaimar, written in [1155], contains a confusing account of the 'elder ætheling Edgar' (presumably an error for Edmund) having a love affair with the daughter of the king of Hungary who became pregnant and whom he married, and by whom he was the father of Queen Margaret of Scotland. The Chronicle of Ailred, abbot of Rievaulx, also refers to Edmund having married the daughter of the Hungarian king. Edmund's wife is named Hedwig in Burke's Guide to the Royal Family, although the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. In the absence of further information, the accuracy of these reports must be considered dubious as none of the Hungarian kings during the first half of the 11th century provides an obvious match. In the case of King István, it is likely that all his daughters predeceased their father in view of the accession of his nephew, King Péter, when he died. In any case, his daughters would have been beyond child-bearing age when the ætheling Edmund arrived in Hungary, assuming this arrival took place in [1046] as is probable. As the ætheling brothers were closely linked to King András I, it is unlikely that Edmund would have married a daughter of either of his disgraced predecessors King Péter or King Samuel Aba, and any daughters of the former at least would have been too young for such a marriage. Finally, any daughters of King András himself would certainly have been too young for the marriage. There is therefore considerable doubt about the historical authenticity of this Hungarian princess or her marriage to Edmund. m Edmund of England, son of Edmund 'Ironsides' King of England & his wife Ældgyth --- (1016-before 1054)."

Johann Michael Meiser m. Anna Elizabeth Sixt (possibly surnamed Zecht). They settled in Muhlbach (Millcreek Twp.), in today's Lebanon Co., PA. Dolores Whitaker reports Elizabeth was b. in 1693. "Families of Pennsylvania from 1645 to Present" at http://www.angelfire.com/folk/barnham/pafg42.html identifies him as Johann Michael Meiser and provides his ancestry. Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press offers: "Meiser Name Meaning - occupational name for a fowler, from an agent derivative of Meise 1. topographic name for someone who lived in an area where timber had been felled (see Meiss). habitational name for someone from a place called Mais in Bavaria."
http://www.anthracitemaps.com/wsite.nsf/html/lebhistmillcreek offers: "Mill Creek is the extreme south-eastern township of Lebanon county, and until the year 1844, was included in Jackson and Heidelberg, except about 500 acres which were added to it from Berks co. The Muelbach or Mill Creek, a beautiful stream of considerable size, which flows through from west to east, gave to the township its name. On this stream as early as 1720, the German Baptists, more generally called "Dunkards" had a settlement. Besides the Mill Creek there are several other streams of smaller size. The South Mountain or Conewago Hills are in the southern part of the township. . . . The principal settlers of this township were Hessians, Irish and Germans. The Hessians came from the Reading camp in Berks county, and settled principally among the mountains. The first German settlers came from Schoharie county, New York. Among the early settlers of note, may be mentioned Conrad Weiser, who came here from Philadelphia, accompanied by Wm. Penn, about the year 1719. After making a treaty with the Indians, Weiser started a settlement at Millbach. He afterwards settled near the present town of Womelsdorf, in Berks county, where he was buried. A plain stone slab marks his grave. Walter Newman and his wife Elizabeth came to this township from Ireland, sometime between the years 1741 and 1763, having previously, (about the year 1741,) received a grant of two tracts of land from Wm. Penn. This township was then included in or called Heidelberg township, in Lancaster county. Lice (christian name not given,) settled at Tulpehocken, and worked for Frederick Miller for 9 cents per day. Land at that time sold for one dollar per acre. John Stump, Michael Meiser, John Noll, Michael Zeller, John Moore, Henry Moyer. Nicolas Lechner, John Grove, Christian Seibert, and others came from Schoharie county, N.Y., and settled at Millbach.
Later, Frederick Kopp and several others settled at Newmanstown. In 1704, it is' said that Michael Meiser took up the land now owned and occupied by Geo. Meiser. He, with twelve other families on a journey, encamped at this place over night, and finding a fine spring of pure water, he concluded to settle here, which he did, constructing for himself a hut of bark, in which he resided three years. Among the families that settled here at that time, were the Zellers, Fakes, Stumps, and Beckers. The Moores are said to have settled here two years later. Michael Meiser died at the age of 42 years, leaving his property to his eldest son George and it descended from one generation to another, until now it is owned by one of the fifth generation, Geo. Meiser, who is nearly 7 5 years of age. A strange coincidence connected with this property, is that it has been owned during 4 generations by the eldest sons, and that each ones name was George. The present owner has also a son and grand-son named George. So it is probable that the farm may yet be owned by George the sixth."

From Moore Family Tree in Ancestry.com:
"History of The Clan Wemyss - Clan Wemyss is a Lowland Scottish clan."
Origins of the Clan:The name "Wemyss" is derived from the Gaelic word 'uaimh', meaning 'cave', and is believed to be taken from the caves and cliffs of the Firth of Forth in that part of Fife where the family of Wemyss made its home. Wemyss in Fife has been the seat of the chiefs since the twelfth century. They are one of the few Lowland families directly descended from the Celtic nobility through the Macduff Earls of Fife. In 1290, Sir Michael Wemyss and his brother, Sir David, were sent with Scott of Balwearie to Norway to bring back the infant Queen Margaret, the 'Maid of Norway'.
Wars of Scottish Independence
In 1296, Sir Michael swore fealty to King Edward I of England. However during the Wars of Scottish Independence of the 14th century he changed his allegiance to King Robert the Bruce of Scotland. The clan seat, Wemyss Castle was later sacked by the English. In 1315 Wemyss witnessed the Act of Settlement of the Scottish Crown by Robert the Bruce at Ayr. His son, Sir David, was one of those who appended his seal to the famous Declaration of Arbroath in 1320. Sir David appeared again, as one of the guarantors for the release from English imprisonment of King David II of Scotland, and his son was one of the hostages for his ransom, as his descendant, Duncan, was later to be for the liberation of King James I of Scotland.
16th Century & Anglo-Scottish Wars
Chief Sir David de Wemyss was killed leading the Clan Wemyss at the Battle of Flodden Field in 1513. His grandson, Sir John, succeeded as chief. Sir John led the clan and fought under the Earl of Arran at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh in 1547.
John was a great supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots, and it was at the newly enlarged Wemyss Castle that she first met her future husband, Henry, Lord Darnley. In 1559 Sir John was made lieutenant of Fife, Kinross and Clackmannan, and led his men in the queen's army at the Battle of Langside in 1568. His great-grandson, John Wemyss, was born in 1586. He was the second-born, but eldest-surviving son of Sir John Wemyss of that Ilk, by his second wife Mary Stewart.
17th Century
This John was knighted in 1618 and created a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1625, with a charter to the barony of New Wemyss in that province of Canada. Created a baron in 1628, he was later advanced to the title of Earl of Wemyss, the patent being presented to him personally by King Charles I at Dunfermline. He was High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, a Privy Councillor and one of the Committee of the Estates. He died in 1649, and was succeeded by his only son, David, the second Earl. He died in 1679 after a lifetime nurturing the resources of his estate, particularly his salt and coal mines. Besides building on a large harbour at Methil, he greatly improved Wemyss Castle, where he entertained, in both 1650 and 1651, the newly crowned Charles II. Predeceased by his son, the title and estates fell to his daughter, Margaret Wemyss, 3rd Countess of Wemyss, who married her cousin, Sir James Wemyss, later created Lord Burntisland.
18th Century & Jacobite Risings
Chief David Wemyss, the third Earl succeeded his mother in 1705, when he took his seat in Parliament and was sworn a Privy Councillor and nominated one of the commissioners for the Treaty of Union with England. In 1707 he was constituted Vice Admiral of Scotland. The fourth Earl, born in 1699, was described as 'a man of merit universal benevolence and hospitality the delight both of small and great'. He married Janet, heiress of Colonel Francis Charteris of Amisfield. During the Jacobite Rising of 1745, the fourth Earl's eldest son, David wemyss, Lord Elcho, joined Prince Charles Edward Stewart in Edinburgh. He was appointed colonel of a troop of royal Horse Guards, he accompanied the prince into England, and was with him until his defeat at the Battle of Culloden.
David Wemyss, Lord Elcho then escaped to France, and took part in the State entry of Prince Charles into Paris the following year. He was convicted of treason in his absence, and his estates were forfeited to the Crown. He continued to reside in France, and died childless in Paris in 1787. Consequent upon the attainder, the Jacobite earl was succeeded by his second son, Francis, who changed his name to Charteris, the family name of his maternal grandmother.
It is from Francis that the present Earl of Wemyss and March, whose seat is the magnificent Adam mansion of Gosford, is descended. The estates in Fife and the chiefship of the name of Wemyss devolved upon the Earl's third son, the Honourable James Wemyss. He was MP for Sutherland, and married Lady Elizabeth Sutherland in 1757.
James Wemyss's great-grandson married Millicent, the granddaughter of King William IV, who, on the death of her husband in 1864, successfully took over the running of the estate for thirty years. Her son, Michael, married Lady Victoria Cavendish-Bentinck, the last surviving god-daughter of Queen Victoria.
