This is from Rootsweb.com the Deer Surname board ';MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE FAMILY NAME DEER IS OF CELTIC ORIGIN AND MEANS ';WOODS OR FOREST'; AND WAS FIRST USED BY FAMILIES THAT LIVED IN THE WOODS OR FORESTS AND HUNTED ANIMALS FOR THEIR LIVING. FIRST RECORDED IN ABERDEENSHIRE SCOTLAND IN ABOUT 800 AD. ALSO THERE ARE DEER FAMILIES THAT WERE GERMAN DIER


AND CHANGED IT TO DEER. MARTIN DIER WAS IN REV. WAR BUT RECEIVED PENSION AS MARTIN DEER.


THERE ARE ALSO INDIANS THAT ADOPTED THE DEER NAME SINCE THEIR INDIAN NAME MEANT DEER. I HAVE FOUND FAMILIES THAT WERE DEER,THEN DEERE,OR DEAR, OR DEARE, OR DEERY. I BELIEVE


THAT MOST OF THE DEER FAMILY IN THE USA CAME FROM SOME WHERE IN THE BRITISH ISLES ORIGINALLY. THERE ARE DEER FAMILIES IN AUSTRALIA. MY FAMILY ARRIVED IN CHARLESTON SC


IN 1699 AND HE HAD BEEN A PIRATE BEFORE THAT.


I BELIEVE THAT MY BRANCH HAD BEEN SOLD AS INDENTURED SERVANTS TO SUGAR CANE PLANTATION OWNERS IN BARBADOS FOR 10 POUNDS BY OLIVER CROMWELL IN 1652 AFTER THEIR CIVIL WAR. ';





Good Luck
