You are giving me far too much credit here. de Bivar = the Beaver.

“Ward, you were awfully hard on de Bivar last night.”

That is almost enough for me to change my ID to Campiador or Rodrigo.

Nah, just stay away from Ward.

Seriously guys, I'd never noticed Dan Boone's genealogy before and just a few weeks ago I was looking at where he settled in Missouri (on his Spanish land grant).

It was right there at Arrow Rock

That spot is at the intersection of a line drawn from the foot of Memorial bridge in DC (furthest North a Spanish galleon could sail in Chesapeake Bay's Potomac Arm), and all sorts of other points of interest on what is now US 50 ~ AND a line drawn from Arrow Rock due North through several sites of interest to some of my earliest ancestors (including the little crick that feeds Lake Itasca, Seymour Iowa and, lo and behold, Alexandria Minnesota home of the Kensington Rune Stone!

I take both lines to be Spanish survey lines for the purpose of delineating French and English boundaries (per the Treaty of London 1604 as dictated by Philip III), and baselines for the purpose of proving surveys West of the Mississippi, and from the Ohio South to the Gulf.

Several other lines surveyed by the Spanish in North America are quite long ~ these are just longer ~ and appear to have been done by different teams.

Anyway, that's where Dan Boone and his wife ended up. They left behind many other relatives along the US 50 line as it made its way through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois (including relatives they didn't even talk to anymore).

It's like Ol'Dan had a Spanish Map.

So, yeah, Compriador is OK ~ it'd still triggered the de Biber or Van Beeber name.

Now, if that's not enough, then Stune Me With A Beeber!
