Wow thank you so much. My ggmother was Jennie Coyer b1865 NY_her father was Alexander
Coyer b1836 NY_he is found in a 1850 census in Brownville, Jefferson, NY living with a
Chloe Coyer b1839 NY, Frank Coyer b1780 Canada also Mary Coyer b1780 Canada E. I can only
assume they are grandparents or relatives as they are both age 70 in 1850 and the others
are ages 16 and 11. Alexander grew up to be a boot and shoe maker and settled in New
London, Waupaca, Wisconsin where he dies in 1904. He also was in Civil War in NY
1864/1865. He too married a Mary b1837 in NY parents both born in Canada. I do not know
how to trace them back to Canada and where to begin looking and that is why I asked about
the name change.
