Notes for Presley Mynhier
Presley performed many marriages in Rowan and Elliott counties, and on most of them he signs his name as "Manier" or "Manhier". But in censuses and his own marriage records (i.e., things written by clerks), his name is spelled as Mynhier. Since the latter is the spelling used by almost all of his descendants and relatives, I've followed it, but he himself apparently preferred the 'a'.
