As far as I know, Ticer may be a derivative of Tessier which is French. Another possible spelling is Tysor. Augustine Ticer's (whom I am descended from) grandfather Lewis, came here from either France or Portugal with two other brothers during colonial times and settled in Virginia territory. The elder Lewis Tysor had three sons; Lewis, Alfred and another I don't know the name of. Lewis migrated to Chatham NC and Alfred to the West. The nameless one stayed in Virginia. My research indicates that Lewis Tysor (Ticer) Jr. is the father of Augustine in Chatham, NC.

My mother was a Ticer. She did a great deal of geneology. I can tell you that the Ticers' were huganouts and yes from Germany. They were being persecuted in Germany for their religion. They fled to France and eventually sailed with LaFeat. They jumped ship perhaps in North Carolina, I think. So, then the French Gov was looking for them. The three brothers changed their name to Ticer. Therefore, all Ticer's in this country decended from one of the three brothers. So, we are all related. My grandfather's name was Calvin Ticer. His daddy's name was Amos. I hope this has helped. I'll try to go through some of my mother's geneolgy and share more.

TICER SURNAME VARIANTS

Angela_Tice — 2009-10-12 09:53:40Z

Ancestry.com, Learning Center for name meanings states that Ticer is an American spelling of the German name Deuser, a German variant of the name Dietz which is a short form of Dietrich. Dietrich is cognate with the Dutch name Diederik or Dederick. The surname Dietz also has variants: Diets, Deats, Deatz, Deets, Deetz, ect.
I'm curious if any Ticer families have been found using the Tice / Theiss surname?
Other variants can be found as Theisser, Tycer , Tyser, Thyser, Thysser, Tysser, Dicer, Deiser, ect.
Hope this helps.

Merla,

If you are still following this forum, would you get in touch with me? I am in contact with a descendant of Austin Ticer, probable brother of Augustine.

It has been a very long time since your post and I cannot contact you by your listed email any longer but I have similar hand written papers handed down through the family from my Ticer ancestor who is Laura C. Ticer b1843 in Illinois (not to be confused with the Laura C. Ticer b1866 in Kansas. Most researchers are getting these two confused. My Laura's hand written notes also show a list of both the Ticer and Dowdy families & also the Augustine & Lucy children and another paper by her lists Lucy Dowdy as her grandmother and being born in June 1772. The children listed are:Rachel,Jane,Margaret,Uriah,Parsons,Allen. I have extensive family photos from Laura's life in Ohio and none of the pictures are labeled but Uriah is most likely among them and also some relatives from Indiana & Illinois.

Hello,
It has been several years since your post, so I don't expect to find you there any more but I also have hand written papers past through my family that have some of the same information as yours. I am descended from Lucy Dowdy and Augustine Ticer also although I have a missing link and haven't figured out exactly how yet. I do show Lucy's birth as June of 1772 and I have a hand written list of all of the Dowdy and Tice children as known by my relative Laura Ticer living with Lucy and Rachel in census of 1840 and 1850 in Cincinnati, Ohio (where Uriah was born) among other Ticer relatives. I have picture albums of them, but none of the pictures are named.
I have a tree on Ancestry.com called Ticers:Louise & Laura and my email address is: glwallingford@austin.rr.com

OOps! I entered the date of Augustine and his brother migrating to Ohio incorrectly. I said it was around 1890 but I meant to say 1809 about when Uriah was born.

Hello all,
It has been a very long time from any of your posts, but if you are still researching and needing help on the Augustine Ticer family, so am I. I am somehow descended from them and I am having trouble finding the exact link. I have a very old hand written paper and an old type written one found in my maternal grandmother's deceased aunt's things at the time of her death. My grandmother always talked about her grandmother being a "Ticer". Turns out her grandmother was Louise Ticer born around 1849 and the paper belongs to Laura C. Ticer born around 1843 and talks about a quilt made by her grandmother (Lucy Dowdy Ticer)and Lucy's eldest daughter (Racel born 1801) and lists some dates, names and when they came to America and a whole list of the children. My problem is that my grandmother's aunt (Lena Ticer Castleman) who died in 1947 had no children and my mother and I are the only living links to that branch and I still have no idea how Louise and Laura are linked...cousins? I can't find anything on either one of them except a few census records for the years 1840 - 1910 which show their birth states. I also have an old photo album full of pictures of people in the 1800's (no names of course) but the photographer add on the back of the pictures say they were made in Cincinnati, Ohio and I know that Augustine and a brother moved there around 1890 where Uriah and some others were born. The writing about the quilt verifies this. I know we are not from Uriah, but which son? The census records for both women show their father's birthplace in Ohio! I know that Laura's parents must have died early because she is shown in th 1850 & 1860 Ohio census to be living with Lucy and Rachel and in the 1870 only Rachel because Lucy would have died. All three census spelled Ticer incorrectly. I know that Louise and Laura are both descended from Augustine and Lucy....but I can't find how. None of the other family trees have the records right enough to help. When I can scan the two documents from Laura's writings, I will attach here.

Merla:

It has been a long time since your posting and I apologize for taking so long to write to you. I, too, have some some census research on the Tysor/Ticer families but did not find much. I would be very interested to have a copy of the four pages of information you possess on this family. Could you please write to me at ruthmcarthur@comcast.net?

Thanks very much.
