I have not ruled out the possibility that our surname, as we know it today, (Simar) was not Simon or Simons, when my G G Grandfather came to America, I found an early census, I think it was 1800, that showed it spelled either Simmon or Simon, but later census records have it spelled Simar. .

It is hard to follow a line and the spelling's sure don't help. I do not have the experience to take in all the variations.
Thank you for your response

If you ever run across a Ephriam F. or Ephriam Frederick, with a surname spelled even close to Simar or Simon (Simons), please let me know, I'm refering to the time period of 1785 to 1820, they could have been in New Jersey, New York, or Connecticut , during that time period, in 1825, they are listed in a local census in Wells Township Pennsylvania, and from then on it (the surname) is usually spelled as we know it today (Simar). .
