Remy and Palfrey/Pelfrey Relationships
If anyone knows of a link between the surnames of Remy and Pelfrey, I would like to know the details. I am interested particulary in Remys who first settled in Westmoreland County, Va, maybe Baltimore, and then moved on West to Henry or Washington Counties in VA about 1765. Y-DNA evidence suggests that a Remy or Ramey may have changed his surname, maybe as early as 1740, to Pelfrey/Pelphrey for some reason and left a sizeable branch of the Remy or Ramey family carrying the Pelfrey surname.
