Modrell/Motheral, etc.
This surname is quite variable in its spelling.I have found Modral, Modrel, Modrell, Modrelle, Motheral, Motherell, Moderwell, Moderwill, Motherwill and maybe a few others I can't remember.The spelling has varied with time and place for the same individual.
It appears that the first Motheral immigrants settled in PA in Lancaster Co. before 1740. From there several descendants went to NC and TN, then to KY and on to IN or MO.Other branches stayed in PA for several generations.The Motherals appear to be Presbyterians from Scotland.
