Hi there . I noticed you mentioned that some of the Poyer's settled in Mass. Do you have any info on those Poyer's
My grandfather was James T Poyerd. It appears that my great-grandfather americanized the name and added the d. My great-grandfather was Solomon Poyer and he married Adele Pellarin. I have very little info on them but I have been told my family derives from Saint Hyacinthe -Quebec. Solomon and Adele had at least 12 children including Ann, Josephine, William, Arthur, and Emma. My father James F. Poyerd was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts and supposedly many of the Poyer/Poyerds went to Massachusetts as well. Im not sure about Solomon's parents or his siblings which may possibly be the connection.
You can email me at

Thanks
