Dear Mr. Matson,

I am a direct descendant of Thomas Ayer, through his son Lewis Malone Ayer. I have never been able to document further back than South Carolina. My father told me many family stories he had heard from his grandfather, Alfred Aldrich Ayer about Thomas and a brother coming to America but I have not been able to really document anything. I was delighted to see you had Thomas having been born in Scotland, then migrating to Ireland. How did you discern this information? I too believe this to be the case.

I would appreciate any leads or information you would be willing to share.

Thank you,
Deborah Ayer
