The register of the family of Frank Mozrall, named above, was not received in time for alphabetical arrangement. He was b. in Miramiche, N. B., 1826. m. 1860, Lucy Bean, b. in St. Monic, P. Q., 1841. He res. in L. 1855 to 1891, when he removed to Marlboro', Mass., where his wife Lucy died 1894. He removed to Nashua, remarried, and still resides in that city. He was facetious and original in ready repartee, and embalmed in the lighter annals of the north country are many of his encounters in wit with the professors of the art, who flourished in this vicinity until they grew dim in age or were elected to office.
THAYER.
The following authorities have been consulted in preparing this record : Gen. Bezaleel Thayer of Mexico, N. Y., author of the " Me- morial of the Thayer Name"; as collected from Plymouth Memorial and other histories of that colony, viz. : "Winthrop's Journal of Mass.," Hutchinson's, Prince's, Holmes's, and also Judge Horace Metcalf's note to Dr. Elisha Thayer, of Dedham, Mass., who had ex- amined the Eng. Law Reports on the subject of the Thayer name spelled in these reports. In those reports the name is spelled in sev- eral different ways: Thayer, Thear, Their, Thayar. The Their is of German origin, and in that language signifies an ox, or a cow, or a dealer in such, consequently is from the Continent, and is synonymous with bullock in the Eng. language. We know that about one thousand years

ago, more or less, the Danes and Saxons intruded upon Eng., and the counties of Kent and Essex passed into their possession. Next we find a coat of arms conferred upon the Thayer name in the Co. of Essex, town of Braintree, Eng., from which the Thayers emigrated to America. Albert Ross Parsons, author of " New Light on the Great Pyramid " (Ghizeh), states " that the ancient Chersonesus Taurica (the modern Crimea) was the home of the Scythian ancestors of the Saxons, or people known as John Bull." Frances Rallstone, author of " Maz- zaroth, or Constellations," says " the signification of the word Taurus (sign of the Zodiac) in the Eng. language is bullock, meaning coming, ruling, step, springing forward, salvation, finishing. The Arabic, Syriac, Coptie, Greek (Septnagint), Latin (Vulgate), all meaning the the same." The Greek Omega corresponds to the Hebrew Tau or long cross. The letter " T" meaning sacrifice, finished. (Prepared by Miss Eliva Anna Thayer, of New York City.)

TILTON.
The name Tilton comes from " Aelmar" the Saxon. Soc, man or Lord of Tiletone in Leicestershire, was the first to take the name, A. D. 1040. The family record during the " Crusades " and later wars was good. The noble family of Digby are from the Tiltons, and they bore the name of Digby de Tilton as late as 1500. The landed estates of the Tiltons at Tilton, Eng., were not disposed of until 1639, when small farms were made from the estates. The old church, now restored at Tilton, was built by the family in early days, and all the early members of the family are buried in the churchyard, and their tombs are still in existence.
