The surname you are looking for is surely English or later on American. See the Dictionary Of Surnames of Basil Cottle.

A baby name book I have says that Ames comes from French for 'friend' ...more probable that it is from the same root as the French verb, to like, 'aimer' ... which was likely brought to England by the Normans.
