Migration of the Beyare family

Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Beyares to arrive in North America: Christopher Beyer, who sailed to Philadelphia in 1731; Adam Beyer to Philadelphia in 1733; Martin Beyer to Philadelphia in 1738; George Beyer to Philadelphia in 1747.

The Beyare Motto +

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Motto: Stet Fortuna Domus
Motto Translation: May the fortune of our house endure.
