^The Elmer family is a very ancient one. There are many of the name
in Switzerland, who claim to be able to trace their descent back to the
twelfth century, and theorize that before that date the Elmers came from
Italy or Greece. In 1000 Elmer, a pei-son of great sanctity, was chosen
abbot of the monastery of St. Augustine, at Canterbury, England, and in
1022 was made bishop of Sherburne. After the Norman conquest, in 1016,
Elmer, one of the chiefs of William the Conqueror, was holder of several
pieces of land, one of which was at Braintree Hundred, county of Essex,
England, from thii-ty to forty miles east of London. .John Elmer was a
bishop of London in the time of Queen Elizabeth. Representatives of
the family are in different countries. Alfred Elmere, a distinguished
artist, was a member of the Royal Academy, and died a few years since.
