PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
When our forefathers came to this country, they
introduced at once a Registry of Deeds, or a uni-
form system of recording land-conveyances ; and they
also established a Probate Office, to contain the
entire settlement of the estates of deceased per-
sons,— the original probate of each will being for
ever conclusive on all parties, both as to real and
personal property. In both these particulars, they
were two centuries in advance of the mother-country,
where such registries of conveyances were only
locally and partially introduced, and where wills were
required to be proved over again in each suit respect-
ing real estate. The county of Suffolk consists of
the city of Boston, and the small adjoining town
of Chelsea and its various subdivisions. It formerly
included also the several towns now constituting
Norfolk County. Suffolk County^ therefore^ means
XU PREFACE TO THE SECO^'D EDITION.
Boston and its immediate vicinity. Our registry of
deeds now numbers 735 volumes, of which the first
20 contain all the deeds prior to A.D. 1700. The
deeds of the next hundred years come down only to
Lib. 200. Those of the first quarter of this century
reach to Lib. 300 ; and the last thirty years have
added more volumes than were made during the
w^hole former period. It is to this collection of
Sufi'olk deeds that I refer by " L." and " f." All the
records of Suffolk County were removed to Canada
during the Revolution; and two volumes — L. 112
and L. 11 J: (for the years 1766, 1768) — were not
returned. In these missing volumes, lawyers have
presumed to be recorded all conveyances of or before
that period which cannot be found, — a convenient
hypothesis, which however, it must be confessed,
would make these two volumes more bulky than any
twenty others. It is an interesting fact, that, though
these records have existed among us for two centu-
ries, it is only within the present year that an
appropriation of twelve thousand dollars has been
made for a new and perfect Index since A.D. 1800,
in which all the various surnames are to be arranged
alphabetically. This Index will be of incalculable
value, and will supersede for ever a vast amount of
irksome labor.
PREFACE TO THE SECO^'D EDITION. Xlll
The existence of these records has produced
among us a branch of the legal profession known as
conveyancers, and examiners of titles to real estate.
On the completion of my law-studies, my tastes led
me to this pursuit ; and I have now fifty-five auto-
graph folio volumes, of five hundred pages each, of
these abstracts of titles. Beginning my researches in
1827, before the registry had become very volumi-
nous^, I, in every instance, traced back the estate to
the settlement of the town ; whereas, at present,
conveyancers scarcely ever extend their investiga-
tions back of the present century. I have thus
a familiarity w^ith the names of the early owners
of real estate among us which my successors have
never obtained or sought for. Further, our law
permits an attachment of real estate on mesne pro-
cess to secure a debt ; and I have an alphabetical
list of all those whose estates have been thus en-
cumbered since 1831. As it is now provided that
record-books of attachments shall be kept by the
clerks of the several courts, no such private list
exists anywhere else.
In connection wdtli these my professional re-
searches, I have now in my possession strictly
alphabetical indices, to the extent of three thousand
pages, of names of persons who have been parties to

conveyances from the settlement of the country, or
defendants in suits in our courts, or who have taken
the benefit of the late Bankrupt Law of the United
States, or whose estates have been administered upon
in the Probate Office.
I also own the original editions of Pope's " Iliad "
and " Odyssey," in eleven large quarto volumes
(1715-25) ; Thomson's " Seasons," both the original
edition of 1730, and a very rare one illustrated by
Bartolozzi, published in 1797 ; and the Macklin
Bible, in six large quarto volumes, published in
1800, of which it is believed that only one other copy
exists in this country. These works contain long
lists of subscribers in England and Scotland. Many
of the names embraced in these volumes and in our
early records are now unknown among us.
" Miscellanies, in Prose and Verse, by Mary Jones,"
was pul)lished at Oxford in 1740, in the fii'st style of
typography of the day. This Avork is dedicated to
" The Princess Royal and of Orange ; " and aU the
nobility and chief gentry are among the subscribers.
It is in the possession of Charles Sprague, the poet ;
and has been kindly placed at my disposal as quite
a treasury of odd names. It is remarkable that a
volume, containing at least one piece which no lady
would now read, should have been, only a century

ago, written by a lady, and universally admired by
the most refined and cultivated of the land. Who
was Mary Jones?*
I am indebted to Thomas J. Lee, Esq., of this city,
for a printed subscription-list for Chauchard's maps
of Germany, Italy, &c., — a work published under
the like royal and noble patronage, in London, A.D.
1800.
The venerable Charles Lowell, D.D., voluntarily
sent to me several pages of names of members of the
West Church in Boston during the last century ; all
of which, however, I was gratified to find that I had
in my own records.
There is in the Massachusetts Historical Society a
catalogue of the books in the library of Harvard
College, selected for the especial use of the under-
graduates, printed in 1773. Of this collection,
scarcely one book in ten is now seen or heard of.
It has furnished me with several remarkable names.
It recommends the " History of England, 5 vols.
8vo, by Mrs. Catherine Macauley ; " of whom Dr.
Johnson said, " There was one Mrs. Macauley in this
town, — a great republican." Ozanam's " Cursus
Mathematicus " has a less familiar sound to our ears
than Macaulays " History of England."
* This question has been since answered by Allibone's " Dictionary of Authors."
XVI PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITIO>\
The names on tombs are chiefly from Tissington's
" Epitaphs," London, 1857 ; a few being obtained
from Dr. Johnson's " Collection of Epitaphs," Lon-
don. 1806.
The early Colonial Records, recently printed by
authority of the Commonwealth, in six splendid
quarto volumes, contain A'ery many of the most
curious names in the following collection ; viz., aU
to which ancient dates are affixed.
"Within a few weeks, the London Dii-ectory for
1858 was sent to me by Frederick AY. Thayer, Esq. ;
but its appalhng dimensions, and the progress which
I had already made in printing this edition, have pre-
vented my availing myself of his courtesy to any
considerable extent.
The great work of Agassiz, so honorable to the
country of his adoption, of which the first two
volumes appeared in November, 1857, has a long list
of subscribers throughout all the States of the
L^nion.
The financial crisis of 1857 led to the publication
of lists of those who became insolvent in all our chief
cities.
From these sources, and from the perusal of the
City Directories of Boston and Salem, of New York
and Philadelphia, the Business Directories of New

England and Canada, the American Almanacs, the
Navy Register for 1849, the College Catalogues of
Harvard and Yale, and of the U.S. Military Academy
at West Point, I derived the materials for this publi-
cation. Its preparation solaced the weary hours of a
long confinement. It gradually became too volumi-
nous for what I at first designed it, — a series of
newspaper articles ; and it is printed in its present
form, in the hope, that, although it possesses no
permanent interest or value, others may derive from
its perusal somewhat of the amusement which it has
aff'orded to mvself.
In 1857, I printed, for private distribution, a few
copies of a collection of surnames prepared almost
exclusively from my own volumes of Records and the
works in my library. A kind notice of my little
volume from the other side of the Atlantic (" House-
hold Words," 1857) awaked a curiosity respecting it
beyond the circle of my personal friends, and induces
me to publish a small edition. It is dedicated to a
conveyancer of 1626, of whose claims upon me I first
became aware from a late publication of J. Wingate
Thornton, Esq. It has, I trust, been rendered more
complete than the first by the use of the numerous

additional materials above referred to, and should
now perhaps be entitled " Directories Digested ; or,
The Romance of the Registry."
Boston, July, 1858.
PREFACE TO THIS EDITION.
This volume is seven times the size of that published
in 1857 ; an instance of rapid literary expansion
almost unprecedented.
More than eight hundred copies of the second
edition of this work have been privately distributed ;
and it is my intention that the two thousand copies
of the present edition shall be chiefly disposed of
among public libraries and other like institutions,
at the discretion of my publishers.
" Travels in the Interior of America " — an inte-
resting Avork by Anburey, an officer in Burgoyne's
army, published in London, 1789 — was, in 1859,
presented to the Massachusetts Historical Society ;
as was also Dart's " Westmonasterium ; or. The
History and Antiquities of St. Peter's, Westminster,
A.D. 1742," — a splendid work, in two volumes,
containing a catalogue of interments and monuments.
I own an edition of the "Tattler," A.D. 1713. All
these works have extensive subscription-lists.
XX PREFACE TO THIS EDITION.
I am much indebted, in tliis third edition, to Mr.
John S. Hurley, of Boston, for the use of a volume
containing, 1st, " The Royal Kalender for England,
Scotland, Ireland, and America, for 1805;" 2d, "The
New Companion to the London and Royal Calender,
or Court and City Register, for 1 805 ; " 3d, " List of
the Volunteer and Yeomanry Corps of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, 1804 ; "
and, 4th, " The East-India Register and Directory for
1805," — together constituting a collection of names
of about a thousand pages.
I am also greatly indebted to Allibone's " Diction-
ary of Authors," — a most valuable literary directory,
published since the second edition of this work, and
which has as yet been completed only to the letter K.
In March, 1859, the family of the late William
Crancli Bond, the distinguished observer at Cam-
bridge, Mass., sent me a very learned and curious
little volume, entitled " Remaines concerning Bri-
taine ; but especially England, and the Inhabitants
thereof, — their Languages, Names, Surnames, &c.
London, 1614." This work is published anonymous-
ly, the dedication being signed " M. N." It is really
the second edition of a work by William Camdew, of
which the seventh and last appeared in 1674. It
is not in the librarv of the Boston Athen.npum. and
PREFACE TO THIS EDITION. XXI
I had never met with a copy. It affords a striking
ilhistration of the maxim, that " there is nothing new
under the sun ; " since many of the divisions of this
ancient treatise, in the short chapter on " Surnames,"
correspond almost exactly with my own.
To the Rev. J. M. Finotti, of Brookline, I am
indebted for a copy of " The Reduction of Ireland
to the Crown of England," t&c, published in 167-3 ;
which contains the names of all the governors from
A.D. 1172, and an account of the origin of the
University of Dublin, &c. To the same gentleman
I am also indebted for a small volume, entitled
" Proceedings of the United-States Anti-Masonic
Convention, held at Philadelphia, Sept. 11, 1830,"
containing a list of all the delegates, &c.
A. W. Thayer, Esq., of Northampton, Mass., wrote
to me, in August, 1859, that he had in his possession
a black-letter volume, entitled " A | Briefe Chronicle |

" Chronicle," and contains 613 pages. Mr. Thayer
courteously extracted from it between one and two
hundred names for my use, especially including a
list of the ancient Lord-Mayors of London.
Pine's engraved edition of " Horace," London,
1733, is in the library of President Quincy; and
from its subscription-list, his daughter, Miss Eliza
Susan Quincy, kindly copied for me many curious
names.
I am under like obligations to Rev. Chandler
Robbins, D.D., Daniel N. Haskell, and Samuel
Wells, jun., Esqrs., of Boston ; to Prof. Torrey
and Samuel Batchelder, jun., Esq., of Cambridge;
and to other friends.
After the entire text of this edition, and the first
hundred pages of the Index, had been printed
(Nov. 24, 1860), I received my subscriber's copy
of Lower's " Patronymica Britannica." I have
added, in foot-notes to the latter pages of my Index,
many very curious specimens from this standard
dictionary of British surnames.
PREFACE TO THIS EDITION. XXlll
I will conclude with a few words of " personal
explanation." I was born in 1805. Of a vigorous
frame and active habits, I enjoyed, for fifty years,
almost uninterrupted health. During the summer
months, I seldom omitted a daily SAvim in Charles
River ; and the coldest weather of winter rarelv
induced me to resort to an outside garment. In
1835, on a bridal tour, I visited Niagara, and swam
across that river, below the Falls, on two successive
days ; and once^ when the thermometer was at zero,
the gentlemen who had gathered around the fire in
an insurance-office in Boston, proposed, as I entered
the room, to subscribe to buy me an overcoat,
because, as they said, it made them cold to look
at me. At fifty, however, I ceased to be a young
man ; and my dress was no longer such as to exert
a chilling influence over my friends. In February,
1859, I slipped upon the ice, but did not fall ; and
I supposed that I had escaped with merely a slight
sprain, and the laugh of the bystanders. I had,
however, injured the head of the thigh-bone ; and
the result was a gradually increasing lameness. In
June, I removed to my summer residence in Brook-
line. Here, in an apartment curtained by forest
trees, I sate, day after day, week after week, a pri-
soner ; my sole occupation being the collection and
XXIV PREFACE TO THIS EDITION.
arrangement of the materials for the present edition,
and the laborious preparation of the Index. On
Aug. 2, a visit was made by my attending surgeons.
I arose to receive them ; and in the effort to open the
drawer of a small writing-table, which was partly be-
hind me, I pulled it out so that it fell upon the floor.
From this slight cause, a severe fracture of the thigh
occurred while I was standing up. I have been
thenceforth condemned to a state of horizontal medi-
tation, which must last as long as I live. Twice
already have I here seen the foliage of summer give
place to the snows of winter. My misfortune has
received every alleviation which science could sug-
gest, or the kindness of family and friends bestow ;
but my bodily pain and weariness soon made some
fixed employment almost indispensable. I accord-
ingly commenced the printing of this work in the
autumn of 1859 ; and it has enabled me to attain a
state of cheerful discomfort.
Until my confinement, I had never permitted my
mustache and beard to grow : they are now of a
truly patriarchal length and whiteness. Had my
book been a grave, philosophical treatise, my head,
with these hairy appendages of wisdom, would have
made for it a most appropriate frontispiece. But,
considering its light and lively character, I have

preferred a retrospective view of my face. The
engraving is from a miniature painted by a British
artist, while on a professional visit to this country,
about twenty years ago. Truth compels me to ad-
mit, that no one recognizes me through this disguise
of youth.
If my volume shall sometimes dispel the cloud of
care or thought from the brow of manhood, or call
forth a smile upon the face of youth and beauty, I
may perhaps hope, if not for the sympathy, at least
for the indulgence, of my readers.

SUFFOLK SURNAMES.
CHAPTER T.
ORIGIN OF NAMES.
QURNAMES are known to have been assumed, in
^ some instances, before the Norman conquest ;
but they did not become general in England until
two or three centuries later. Every name, no doubt,
originally had a meaning, or was at first assumed
or imposed from its real or supposed fitness, from
some accidental circumstance, or from mere caprice.
Each individual is distinguished from his fellows
only by his name. But for this system, history and
biography could scarcely exist.
Christian names being given in infancy, and by
friends and relatives, cannot, as a general rule, have
bad significations, or be associated with crime and
misfortune. What child was ever christened Judas
or Barabbas X It is otherwise, however, with sur-
names. These will be found to be of all shades, from
the best to the worst, the most pleasing to the most
ridiculous. They originated later in life, after the
2 ORIGIN OF NAMES.
character and habits of the individual had been
formed, and after he had engaged in some permanent
occupation, trade, or pursuit. They were given by
the community in which he dwelt, — by enemies as
well as by friends.
Surnames are traceable to several chief sources.
The Christian names of parents : thus John, the son
of Dick, becomes John Dickson. Dignities, offices,
and occupations : thus John, the squire, sergeant,
smith, or baker, becomes John Squire, John Sar-
gent, John Smith, or John Baker. Countries,
towns, particular localities of residence or ownership,
including signs of inns : these local names are by
far the most numerous of all, — perhaps more nume-
rous than all others together. Bodily peculiarities,
and virtues and vices, including names of beasts,
birds, and insects (as wolf, fox, parrot, bee), or
inanimate objects (as stone, flint, marble, &c.), a
resemblance to which is suggested by these personal
or mental traits: these, likewise, constitute a very
numerous class. Accidental circumstances or inci-
dents : thus the being born at a certain season of the
year, or in a certain month, or on a certain day, or
at a certain hour, may have been the origin of the
families of Spring, Winter, May, Monday, Sunrise.
Mr. Nine may have been a ninth child. Foundlings
are often unkindly dealt with, being named from the
rather objectionable buildings in or near which they
are left exposed.
ORIGIN OF NAMES. 3
Fortunes are amassed and dissipated ; dynasties
rise, and pass away : but one's name (slightly changed
or impaired, it may be, by time) is yet safely transmit-
ted from father to son, — an inheritance of to-day
from a remote and otherwise unknown ancestry.
The London " New-Monthly Magazine," several
years since, suggested the following " origin of sur-
names ; " which jeu d esprit has since been published
in the collected works of its author : —
" Men were once surnamed from their sliape or estate,
(Yea, all may from lii.<tory worm it :)

CHxiPTEIi II.
SPECIMENS OF CHRISTIAN NAMES.
The names of persons, Christian and surname, form
a very curious subject. Our records furnish some
most remarkable specimens of both. I have known
a lady with a masculine Christian name. Her father,
tired of waiting for a son, had made a vow^ to himself,
that his next child, of whatever sex, should be named
John ; and he kept his vow at the expense of a
daughter.* Sometimes a male Christian name is
given to a daughter by mistake. Thus, a lady, hav-
ing the Christian name of Cataline, died in Boston,
in the summer of 1857. On the other hand, one of
our merchants has the apparently female Christian
name of Catholina. Mr. Mama Masson formerly
owned real estate in our county. Parents of a senti-
mental character often display their taste in the
momenclature of their children. Other names are of
a decidedly prosaic and practical nature. One of the
streets in Boston is called Shoe-and-Leather Street.
An honest carpenter, named Josselyn, was christened
* John Stewart. She died March, 1857, jiged eighty-two years.
b SPECIMENS OF CHRISTIAN NAMES.
Marquis Fayette, notwithstanding all titles of honor
are illegal among us. Marquis McDuff also appears
in our Directory. Our Miss Queen Victoria Brown
was married Dec, 13, 1858.
A late counsellor of this city named two of his sons
William : they are distinguished from each other by
the middle names of Nye and Watson. Occasionally
the family name is taken as a Christian name ; as
Thomas K. Thomas, Aaron Aarons, Owen Owens,
Halvor Halvorson, &c. Livingston Livingston,
of New York, was married November, 1859. R.
TuBERviLL Tubervill, Esq., was Sheriff in Glamor-
gan County, South AVales, 1805. Hugh Heugh's
Sermons were published in London, 1826. Hewer
Edgly Hewer, Esq., subscribed for Dart's " West-
minster." Sir Cresswell Cresswell is a learned
English judge. Hem an, a familiar Christian name
with us, is signally appropriate to every male child.
Occasionally a permanent joke is aimed at: thus it
is said that Mr. Eobert New named two of his chil-
dren Something and Nothing. This story is, how-
ever, I believe, apocryphal. Of the same character,
probably, is the newspaper anecdote, that a Mr. Ball
named his first three children Cannon, Gun, and
Pistol. Handy Crook is a porter in Boston; and
True Scales, a mason in Cambridge, 1859. Mr.
Hard Hitch, of Fairhaven, managed to drag along
to his eighty-second year (1856). John Mariner

A married hT,dy of Boston (Mrs. F.) was, in 1838,
about to sign a deed releasing her dower (L. 434,
p. 295). I asked her name. Her husband said that
she used the initial A. ; but that her name was
Aldebarontiphoscoj^orn'ia. This name, also taken
from a popular song, is probably the longest that a
parent ever inflicted on a child. Christmas Carrol
died at Lowell, Nov. 22, 1857, nineteen years old.
Dickens's " Christmas Carol " is destined to a much
longer life. Though length of years is so generally

Our Puritan forefathers often used as names long

WiLLARD is mentioned in the " Willard Memoir,"
1858, as one whose birth, doubtless, agreeably sur-
prised her parents. The London " Saturday Review "
(July 30, 1859) mentions a Mr. Hickling as having
the Christian name of Joseph of Arimathea.
Hume's amusing list of the names of twelve jury-
men in Cromweirs time is familiar to us all. With
these Puritanical exceptions, even double Christian
names were scarcely known in England till within
the last century. Lord Coke, indeed, declares more
than one illegal. Milton, Shakspeare, Locke, Crom-
well, &c., were satisfied with one. At last came
Charles James Fox, &c. Now they are extremely
common. We have, among statesmen, John Quincy
Adams and Robert C. Winthrop ; historians, &c.,
William H. Prescott, John Lothrop Motley, and
George S. Hillard ; and our poets,* Longfellow,
Bryant, Lowell, Holmes, Sigourney, Doane, Dana,
Whittier, Frothingham, Willis, Brooks, Emerson,
Tuckerman, Parsons, Fields, Hedge, Story, Saxe,
Percival, Poe, Key, «&;c., all have middle names.

The writer of "Britaine's Remaines " says, "But
two Christian names are rare in England : and I only
remember now (1614) his majesty, who was named
Charles James ; as the prince, his sonne, Henry
Frederic; and, among private men, Thomas Maria
WiNGFiELD and Sir Thomas Posthumus Hobby." He
proceeds to mention as " new names which have
lately been given by some to their children, with no
evil meaning, but upon some singular and precise
conceit, — Freegift, Reformation, Earth, Dust,
Ashes, Delivery, More Fruite, Tribulation, The
Lord is Near, More Triall, Discipline, Joy
Againe, From Above," &c.
From the catalogue of Harvard, it will be found,
that, during more than one hundred years, there were
but six graduatesf who had two Christian names.
By the catalogue of 1859-60, it appears, that, of 431
students, 77 have one name, while 354 have two or
more. The catalogue of Williams College gives a
similar result ; viz., of 240 students, 37 have one
name, while 203 have two or more.

Samuel and Jonathan are names lovingly men-

foreigners, the proprietor of the " American eagle "

and the portrait is so ungainly as to defy alike senti-

into disrepute in these latter days.

a Mr. Adair ; but his name is not Robin. Capt.
Sparrow Horton died at Woburn not long since.
Agassiz's subscription list contains several curious
Christian names : as, William Nephew King, of
Georgia ; Flamen Ball, of Cincinnati ; Tipton Wal-
ker, of Galveston, Texas ; Janus (or " double-faced ")
Fraiser, of Philadelphia; &c.
The estate on Cambridge Street, Boston, at the
east corner of Stamford Street, was derived by

John Noldus de Vin Pronk (L. 435, f. 266) has an
outlandish sound. Obedendom Brown died at North
Brighton, Me., April 3, 1859 ; and in the same

off the garments of the flesh. Mr. July^ E. Wine

Bonaparte, whose name combines the glories of both
the French dynasties, belittles him as Mr. L. N. Bona-
parte ; and a well-known writer among ourselves,
who has the Christian name of Lucius Manlius, lays
aside his Roman dignity under the unpretending
initials of L. M. The "Boston Courier" (Nov. 18,
1859) records the arrival of Julius Movius, Esq., of
Buffalo. Mr. Vitruvius Lawes was counsel of the
Borough Court, South wark, 1805. Mr. Vicesimus
Knox is a well-known author. Tertius S. Clarke
was a clergyman of Stockbridge. We have Mr.
Septimus Norris. Hyde Park was planned by Deci-
Mus Burton. A near neighbor of my father s had
his eighth daughter. Appropriate names were rather
scarce. I suggested Octavia. lie selected Zebiah

Miss Eliot, one of the owners of a large pasture
through which Carver Street was laid out, was
christened Silence, and grew up deaf and dumb.
Many excellent names are sadly perverted by
popular abbreviations or substitutes : thus, John is
Jack ; Bichard, Dick ; Robert, Bob ; Thomas, Tom ;
William, Bill; Eliza, Betsey or Betty; Margaret,
Peggy or Peg ; Martha, Matty or Patty ; Mary,
Molly or Polly. About sixty years ago, there was a

The following anecdote was related to me by a
friend. At a trial in which a well-known Liverpool
merchant, Ottiwell "Wood, was a witness, he was
requested by the presiding judge, who was somewhat
deaf, to spell his name ; which he did as follows :

The writer of " Britaine's Remains " devotes twenty-
six pages to an alphabetical list and explanation of
"usuall Christian names;" i.e., of men. He then
adds, " Lest women, the most kinde sexe, should
conceive unkindnesse if they were omitted, somewhat
of necessitie must be said of their names ; " and pro-
ceeds to give a list of them in twelve pages. Among
the names of men are Adelrad, Alan, Alban, Aldled,
Amie, Ananias (Heb., " the grace of the Lord "), An-

CHAPTER III.
SURNAMES: THEIR GREAT NUMBER. — REMARKABLE NAMES: FROM
LIFE AND DEATH; LOVE AND FEAR. — HOGGISH NAMES; SHORT
AND LONG; &c.
It has been estimated that English surnames exceed
in number thirty thousand. A perfect list of them
all is probably unattainable, and would be but a dry
and uninteresting catalogue. The present collection
contains little more than one-third of the number
above mentioned; being chiefly such as were deemed
most curious and striking.
At Queenstown, C.W., lives A. Mirracle. Life
died out many years ago, though we yet have Mr.
Living. Biot, the name of the distinguished French
mathematician, is derived from the Greek word signi-
fying " life." Capt. Bygrave was taken prisoner in
the Afghan War. We have Mr. Toomey. Coffins,
Graves, and Tombs are numerous. We have one
Seagrave, and one Bier. Death and Slaughter
had formerly some living representatives among us.
Death, indeed, is one of our oldest families (1679);
and is also found in Canada and at Cincinnati. A
Mr. Death made a mortgage to the Life Insurance
Company. Mr. Slaughter was a commander in our

navy, 1849. Seven families of this latter name live
in Philadelphia. In our Directory for 1858, there
are two named Mortal.
ToDTLEBEN, the name of the distinguished Russian
general, means " dead-life." An English author,
Ilive, wrote in 1730-3. A domestic in the home
of my boyhood (Salem, Mass.) was named Mercy
Deadman. a ISIr. Deadman lives at Delaware, C.W. ;
Mr. Dyde, at Montreal. There is a living Corse at
Duxbury, Vt. Mr. Corse, of Burlington, lo., sub-
scribed for Agassiz's work. Xo less than five families
of this name are found in Montreal ; and families of
Corpse exist in England. Mr. Jellicorse is men-
tioned ("London Times," July 12, 1859). Mr. Mors
is a graduate of Harvard. In the New-York Di-
rectory are families of Todt (German for "dead").
Corse, Deadman, and Deady; also Dumsday (i.e.,
"day of judgment"). Matthew P. Deady is Asso-
ciate Justice of Oregon (1856); and a Mr. Deady
lives at Streetville, C.W. ; Mr. Buryhill, at Exeter,
C.AV. Mr. Redgrave presented in Parliament the
judicial statistics of 1857. Belgrave was an English
author. Baldgrave's work on Trees was published in
167-4; and Mr. Bargrave ("bare grave"]) is buried
in Westminster Abbey. Among the ancient Lord-
Mayors of London were Wolfgrave and Oldgrave.
Herser's Poems were published in 1812. Mort and
Mortlock were the names of two officers of the
Westminster Hospital in 1805. Bonehouse is found
30 NAMES FROM LIFE, DEATH, ETC.
in Philadelphia (a name which seems equivalent to a
grave); also families of Corse, Corsey, Mort, and
Tomb. Mr. Mumma is Chairman of a Committee of
the Pennsylvania Legislature, October, 1857; and
this name is also found in Dumbo, C.AV. Hannah
Births was married at Woburn in 1649. Natale is
found in our Directory, and only one Lazarus. Six
families of Lazarus, however, appear in Philadel-
phia.
The spirit of Devotion may yet be seen in our city
churches, and his house is standing in an adjoining
town ; but he is no longer visible, in the flesh, " on
'Change." One Scripture had a suit in our Supreme
Judicial Court, 1855 ; and this name, indeed, is very
common in New England, being sometimes spelled
ScRiPTER. There are, I hope, still many families of
Love among us ; but, with a single exception, they
now walk about under another momenclature. Once
they even gave names to our streets: thus Tileston
Street was originally Love Lane. It also became a
Christian name, here and elsewhere, among the de-
scendants of these ancestors. Love Rawlins owned
real estate in Boston. Mr. Love Straw is an engi-
neer at Cambridge, 1859. In the Cathedral-Church
at Peterborough is a monument to John Loving, who
died 1781. Some of our best illustrations of Irish
character are from the pen of Samuel Lover. A wit-
ness at the trial of the "Junior " mutineers, November,
1858, swore that his name was Joseph Venus. Amo-
HOGGISH NAMES. 31
RY is one of our first families. We have also St.
Amant. Mr. Amour was lost in the " Central Ame-
rica," 1857. In New York, I find families of
L' Amour, L'Amoureaux, &c. ; and, in Philadelphia,
there are twenty-seven families of Love. Fear, I
believe, has never been a surname among us : but we
have Mr. Fearing; and Mrs. Fear Bourne was a
landholder. Mr. Fear lives at Elmira, C.W. ; and
Mr. Fearman, at Hamilton, C.W. Miss Feary died
at Ashfield, May, 1859. One Fearon was clerk in
the British Exchequer, 1805. We have among us
the surname of Hope ; which is a name of great note
in England. ]\Ir. Hoper lives at Shermanbury, Eng-
land. Mr. Hopewell's house in Catland, Ind., was
burnt May, 1858. Mr. Hopegood subscribed for
Dart's " Westminster."
There was an interesting family group, the mem-
bers of which respectively rejoiced in the names of
Cord Cordis, Cord Wing, Fathergone Dinely, and
DiNELY Wing. One of our thoroughfares was Hog
Alley; but perhaps some will be surprised to learn
that a Mr. Pighog appears in an early volume of our
records. Jonathan Pigg, of I^edham, is party to a
deed in L. 78, f. Q>Q. We have also Hoggeridge
(1674), HoGSFLESH (1657), Farrow, Hoegg, Hogg,
Hoggs, Shoats (L. 90, f. 230), Swiney, Swinson,
Ham, Hamm, Bacon, McBrine and Brine. " Ham"
appears of the most various kinds. Thus we have
Oldham, Sellingham, Gooderham (a superior article),
32 HOGGISH NAMES.
"Wetpiam, Packham and Peckham, Whittum (" Avhite
ham " ?) and Pinkham, Graham (" gray ham " ]),
Frothingham, Cu>ningham, &c. Thomas Bristle-
ham, of Poxbury (September, 1857), shows a most
swinish taste in ncmenclature. Com. Strixgham is
stationed near Boston, 1859. Topham is found at
Newburyport. Gorham is a common name with us.
Both Mr. GoREHAM and Mr. Badham appear in the
'•London Magazine," 17-10 ; and there was a British
medical writer named Badham in 1847. Sir Charles
Hotham and Brig. -Gen. Whetham subscribed for
the " Tattler." Mr. LA^'GHAM was a former member
of Parliament, ^h. Loxgham lived in Bengal, 1805.
Mr. AViDEXHAM was an Irish volunteer, 1804. BE^'T-
HAM is a well-known writer. The British peerage
has its Pakexham and Co^iyxgham ; and among the
vice-admirals of the white, in 1805, were Pakexham,
SwixEY, and Brixe. In the same year (1805), I find
Mr. Byham, a clerk in the British ordnance depart-
ment ; Mr. GoLDHAM, an officer in the British custom-
house ; and Mr. Sweetenham, a lieutenant in the
East-India Company's cavalry. Lieut. Stoxeham was
in the British infantry, 1800. Wodham's Speeches
were published by Amyot, London, 1812. There is
a valuable catalogue of Archdeacon Wrangham's
library. Mrs. Pack ham's death is mentioned (Galig-
nani, Oct. 20, 1859).
" Ham " is an abbreviation of " hame " (i.e.,
" home ") ; and there are some combinations of
HOGGISH NAMES. 33
" ham " which expressly negative any hoggish asso-
ciations. Thus, Miss Herringham died 1859 (Galig.,
Nov. 12); and Mr. Oxenham died 1680, and is buried
in Westminster Abbey. There is a Lieut. Habersham
in the United-States Navy. Dillingham's case is
reported, 12 Mass. Rep., 57. An ancient Lord-Mayor
of London was named Witchenham ; another, better
known, was Sir Richard Gresham. Other officers
of that city were Walsingham, Wilbraham, &c.
Hexham's " English and Dutch Dictionary " was
published at Rotterdam, 1660.
Choate, though a distinguished, is not an imposing
name. It is, perhaps, a corruption of Shote, a young
pig ; which name still exists in England. Burnham,
in one instance at least, probably means a home hy
the water ; the Massachusetts Liquor Agent of that
name having, it is understood, been in the habit of
" extending " his liquors. On the other hand, our Mr.
Choate Burnham shows a decided leaning towards an
animal origin. Mr. Swinsburg (i.e., " swine's city")
perhaps came from Cincinnati. Catherine Swinford
figures in the Life of John of Gaunt. I own Swin-
den's treatise on Hell. Mr. Swinburne lives at AVhite
Plains, N.Y. Mrs. Sowton (i.e., " sow town ") died
in Kent, Eng., September, 1859.
From a late Review, we learn that a former pope
had a name signifying " hog's mouth ; " a fact also
stated by Camden. The name of Hogsflesh I

was in the British stamp-office, 1805. Mr. Hoggart
advertises in the "London Times," June 16, 1859.
Burthogge's (" burnt hog's " ?) " Infernal Torments "
was published in London, 1675. Mr. Porker was a
London banker, 1805 ; and Mr. Porcher lived in
Charleston, S.C., 1840. Mr. Pigshill has sittings at
Mr. Bronte's church at Haworth ; and Mr. Hoggin is
in the British Navy, 1859. Mr. Piggon formerly
lived in Connecticut.
When an action was called in court, not long since,
a smile was produced by the announcement, that
Mr. appeared " for Gammon." Mr. Flitch lived
at Tirhoot, Bengal, 1805. Mr. Lard arrived here in
tlie " Star of the West," from Panama, October, 1857 ;
and a Mr. Lard lives in Philadelphia. John Wal-
LowER & Son received a government contract for
whiskey in Boston and Xew York, May, 1857. The
name of Swillaway occurs in our Middlesex records,
being probably a corruption of Sillowaa'. Dr. Swil-
LERTON is a physician at Milton, X.H. In New York
live families of Hoggs, Sties, Swilling, Swein, and
SwiNEY. Mr. Hog, of that city, sells liquor. Mr.

Wallowbury, Hogavood, Hams, and Siioat, at Phila-

Some names are very short. Mr. Ai Wheat made
many deeds in an adjoining county. Ai Blood is a
baker. We had our Bill Vose. In our Directory is
Mr. Showe Ar, from the Celestial Empire. Mr. Ernst
Au sells milk in New York. Using the initial letter
only of his Christian name, he is Mr. E Au (the French
for " water "). Mr. Ey lives in Philadelphia ; as do
also three families of Ox. I have met with Si Er ;
and this case always seemed to me the very essence
of brevity. Even the Frenchman, Monsieur d'O,
having, probably, a longer Christian name, must yield
to this rival. Sa & Co. failed in London, November,
1857, in the Brazilian trade. Dees's " Insolvent
Debtors " was published in London, 1843. Mr. Deas
was graduated at West Point. Mr. Dea appears in
L. 667, f. 170. Mr. Tuells ought to be considered
as a name of tivo letters only ; and Mr. Dee, Mr. Kay,
Mr. Pee,* Mr. Tee, Mr. Wye, and even Mr. AVyman,
are obviously names of but one letter. Mr. Jey was
in the volunteer service of England in 1804. Mr.
EzzARD is a lawyer at Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Izard is
Governor of Nebraska. We have very many names
of three letters only, such as those last mentioned ;

1857, married a husband who had prior claims upon
him; and oiu' Mr. Mee, unable to discriminate between
meum and fumn, committed ten larcenies in November,

Plenty (L. 394, f. 247, &c.). In New York, how-

wounded in a late riot at Baltimore. Mr. Chew Van
Bibber, of that city, subscribed for Agassiz's work.
Mr. GoBELs lives at Bridgeport, Conn. ; Mr. Dainty,

woRTH is a lawyer at Troy, O., 1858. We have also
Aylesbury. England has its Earl Ailesbury. Dr.
Spillman was a physician at Medina, O. ; and Spil-
MAN appears in the " London Magazine," 1740.

grate to this country. I find a Lieut. Eatwell at
Bombay, 1805. Mr. Woodfork is found in our Di-
rectory. Messrs. Forke and Forker live in New
York ; and Messrs. Forcum and Forker, in Philadel-
phia. In the New-York Directory are also found

Munch ; Mr. Larder, Mr. Meatman, Mr. Meels, and
Messrs. Filling and Spilling. Mr. Fasting, of that

city, is a grocer. Our Mr. Spoon er seems to stand by
himself between the eaters and drinkers. Mr. Spoone
was biu-ied in Westminster Abbey, 1705. Mr. Meat-
yard, of Illinois, sailed from Boston in a Cunard
steamer, June 15, 1859.
Mr. Rap is not a medium, nor is Mr. Tippin (L.
365). A Mr. Tipping appears in our Colony Records,
1676 ; and Thomas Tipping lived in England in 1800.
Mr. Tipp was an accountant in the South-Sea Com-
pany, 1805. Both Mr. Raps and Mr. Tipper live in
New York ; and Mr. Wallrapp, in Philadelphia. In
the Newhaven Churchyard, England, is a monument
to Thomas Tipper, who died in 1785. Sears is sup-
posed to mean " soothsayer," and to be identical with
Sayer. Lands eer holds a high rank among British
artists. Mr. Augur has a case now pending, which
his opponent doubtless feels to be a bore : he is of an
old family. A Mr. Augur appears in 1658 ; and Mr.
Augurs received the notice of our forefathers in
1671. Both Sib EL and Sibell are found in New
York.
Mr. SoLDEM has ventured to bring a suit.
Our Messrs. Parson, Parsons, Shriever, Friar, Fri-
ary, Priest, Abbe, Abbott, Divine, Deacon, Dacon
(probably from Ireland), Creed, Quaker, Church,
Pray, and Revere, are probably not more pious than
our Mr. Pagan or Mr. Turk. Mr. Shriver lives at

Bapst, and Musselman. Mr. Parsonson is found in
the "London Magazine," 1740. Kirkman wrote,
1673. Mr. Layman lives at Spring's Arbor. Mr.
Layman, in 1857, committed a miu'der at the South,
and was doubtless hung without benefit of clergy.
Mr. Praed, one of England's sweetest poets, has by
no means confined his Muse to sacred themes. Dr.
Verity lives at Haysville, C.W. An English clergy-
man, Pev. Arundel Verity, falsely and fraudulently
converted to his own use funds designed for conver-
sion of the heathen. Our Mrs. Potiphur is a nurse,
whose bedside deportment has always been exem-
plary. Our Mr. Marcellus was indicted for " break-
ing and entering," Nov. 3, 1859. Mr. Welfare died
at Rye, Eng., in that year. Mr. Newgate (1651) was
not an escaped convict ; nor does it appear that Mr.
Selman (1674) or Mr. Mansel (1859) was a slave-
holder. Mr. MoTHERSELL livcs at Kingston, C.W.
No clerical associations surround the name of Rev.
William Youngblood, of New York. A Dr. Young-
blood lives at Sandwich, C.W. Pleasant M. Mask,
of Holly Springs, Miss., treacherously murdered a
young lady in 1857. We have both the Bible and
the CoRAN in our Directory. The Bible is also nomi-
nally met with both in New York and in Philadelphia.

upon heathens ; but, though our Pastor is a cooper,
our Cooper was the best of pastors. William Pagan,
Esq., subscribed for Chauchard's maps. Mr. Pontifex
advertises in the " London Times," Sept. 5, 1859.
We have the name of Pfaff. Pfaffe is the German
for " priest." Mr. Outhout, of West Troy, X.Y., is
reported in our papers to have eloped with his wife's
sister, Xovember, 1859. In his religious sentiments,
he is probably a come-oufer.
I find a iSIr. Tenant ; and we have AVirth, the
German for " landlord." Both Tenant and Tennent
are found in Philadelphia. Mr. Charter and Mr.
Cade, I hope, alike voted for Fremont. Mr. Derrick,
Mr. Delvin, and Mr. Carty, are laborers. Our Lind
and Mozart are not musical. Mr. Fluent and Mr.
Flowry are not probably greater orators than
Mr. Stuck of St. Louis. Om- Mr. Boniface is not
a landlord. Our Marmion is a stone-cutter. Mr.
Macbeth* obtained sovereign power as Mayor of
Charlestown, B.C., in 1857 ; and Banquo keeps house
in Xew York. Mr. Belisario was a clerk in the
British stationery-office, 1805. I formerly knew a
Mr. Dam, who intercepted other liquids than water.
Mr. Bench, Mr. Foppiano, Mr. Mode, and Mr. Bod-
kin, are tailors. Mr. B. Coates was a tailor in Prince
Street. Mr. Wax is not a cobbler, nor is Mr. Soles ;

on books. Mr. Glassbrook has a most mirror-like
name, and is a hairdresser. We have Mr. Penn, Mr.
Inker, and jNIr. Standish ; but our Blott has been
obUterated. Winter Street, in Boston, was originally
Blott's Lane. " A. Blot " was a cook at Calcutta in
1805. Groiblot's " Letters of AYilliam III." was
published in England, 1848. In North Chelsea, in
1859, there was a family of Inkwater. ISli. Inkhorn
is found in L. 677, f. 203. Mr. Inkpen, Mr. Quill,
and Mr. Smouch, remained in England ; and there
was an English author named Ingpen. Mr. Spotts,
however, was a passed midshipman in our navy in
1849; and Mr. Smears, in February, 1859, was party

of New York, there are more than one named AVake :
and in New York I find Wakely, Wakes, and
Wakeman ; two families of AVatchhorn; alsoTRAUM,
the German for " dream." Wake's " Genuine Epis-

In Portsmouth, N.H., there was for many years a firm
of Neal & Pray. AV. W. Marjoram made a deed
to J. W. Pepper (L. 675, f. 31). Mr. Tiemann was
elected Mayor of New York, 1857. A Judge of
Probate in Alabama is named Tyus, and doubtless
often ties the matrimonial knot. Mr. Tyer, of Ando-
ver, took out a patent in 1859.
In 1828 there was a Sir Charles Lemon in Dublin,
and there were English authors named Pinger
(1734) and Knell (1660). Knell is found both in
New York and in Philadelphia. Sir Godfrey Knel-
LER has a world-wide reputation. Ximenes was a
British major in 1805. Mr. Bender is a porter.
Cavendish is one of the great names of English
science. Capt. Edward Cavendy, of the U. S. steam- ^
ship " Washington," invented, in 1857, a tripod for ^_
zenith observations. Mr. Arnold, and his victim, Mr.
Andre, are still in close proximity among us. Mr.

die in their beds. Neither our Ben yon nor our Ken-
yon has the celebrity of Lord Kenyon. Mr. Thurlow
is a quiet citizen of Newburyport ; where also lives
Mr. Griffith, the representative of Shakspeare's
honest chronicler. Our Porteous has never been
mobbed (L. 626). Our Defoe will never write a new
"Robinson Crusoe." Our Gilpin has not performed
any equestrian feats. Mr. Gulliver has ceased from
his travels, and is at home with us.* Old Grimes is
not dead : he lives in New York. Vanwinkle and
Van WINKLER have only removed to Philadelphia.
Mr. Iagoe lives in Hamilton, C.W. Mr. Shandy' (not
Tristram) lives in Quebec. Our Mr. Lammermoore
would seem to be a namesake of one of Scott's hero-
ines. Mrs. Grundy^ is a housekeeper in Boston.
Grundy's Sermons were published in London, 1808.
"Mrs. Partington" is familiar to us as a nom de
plume. Mr. Partington is a living reality in Bos-
ton. Our Mr. Cottle is named Jonathan (not
Amos). The English astrologer was Mr. Lilly : ours
is Mr. Lister. We had, in old times, a Mr. Biss : we
have now Mr. Hiss. Both Mr. Bis and Mr. Biss still

Just after tlie anonyinuus publication of " Gulliver's Travels," Pope, who, with one
or two other friends, was alone in the secret of the authorship, writes to Swift in
Ireland, under date of March 23, 1727-8, "I send you a very odd thing, — a paper
printed in Boston, in New England, wherein you will find a real person, a member
of their parUament {f), of the name of Jonathan Gullivek," &c. Swift, under
date of May 10, thanks him for this newspaper, and adds, " And I remember Mr.
Fortescue sent you an account from the assizes of one Lemuel GuUicer, who had a
case there, and lost it on his ill reputation of being a liar," &c. Scott alludes, in
a note, to this last as a " coincidence almost incredible."

live in Philadelphia. Mrs. Jenny Cozier lives in a
very snug tenement. AYe have, a Mr. Cosiey. Mrs.
Cosey died in Cambridgeport, 1859. Mr. Wiffe died
in 1638; and yet the practice of smoking was never
more prevalent. Mr. Pipe lives at Kingston, C.AV.
Mr. WiFFER, of New York, was lost in the "Austria,"
September, 1858.
Mr. Landsee, of New York, has compassed sea
and land to make one name. In England, there exist
single names made up of opposites ; as Gocum, Fair-
foul, Bindloose, Onslow (a family which uses the
appropriate Latin motto of Festina lente). Dr. San-
wiTH (" rope of sand ") published a narrative of the
siege of Ivars. Mr. Stanfell (i.e., " stand-fell ") was
a commander in the British Xavy in 1803. Heat
and cold seem to be contending in the name of
Lt. Dewsnap, of Greenwich Hospital, 1805. Mr.
Lessmore appears in our Directory of 1857, and Mr.
Shehy (pronounced she-he) in that of 1858. Rev.
Mr. Ranslow is a clergyman at Georgia, Vt. "By"
is a well-knoT\Ti abbreviation of " boy ; " and " ing "
means progeny or descendant. Dadby's Funeral
Sermon was published ITiO; and Olding was a
London banker, 1805: names equivalent to Dadboy
and Old boy. There was an English author named
Grason. Mr. Featherstone, of Philadelphia, failed
in 1857. Mr. Lightstone lives in New York; also
Mr. Waterstone. Mrs. AVaitstill Trott, buried in
our Granary Burying-ground, is an instance of the
OPPOSITE SURNAMES CONTRASTED, 53
like discrepancy between Christian and surname ; as
is also Mr. Waterman Colman. The familiar name
of NoYES is a contradiction in terms. Mr. Ducklow,
on the contrary, has a name of which the two parts
are in the strictest harmony; as has Mr. Bendloe,
whose Legal Reports appeared in 1661 ; and Miss
Anguish Crackbone, of Cape Cod, has, in this respect,
reason to be entirely satisfied. Mr. Weinbeer, of
New York, represents a compound more pleasing to
the ear than to the tongue. The name of Thalberg,
the distinguished pianist, means, in German, " valley-
mountain." Mr. Burgthal lives in Philadelphia.
Feuerbach (" fii-e-river ") — i.e., " a stream of fire " —
is one of the distinguished names of the century.

There is probably more intimacy in name than in
fact between Messrs. Hook, Staple, and Staples,
and between Messrs. Locke, Key, and Keyes. We
have Tukey and Tullock. There was an English
author named Hookes. " Jeanne d'Arc " w as printed
by Triphook, in London, in 1824 ; and Mr. Hooks, of
Tennessee, subscribed for Agassiz's work. In think-
ing of Mr. Wing and Mr. Bill, we are reminded that
we have also Messrs. Finn, Finney, Phinney, Stil-
PHiN and Stilfin. Miss Pinion, in 1648, as appears
by our Colony Records, escaped from the meshes of
the law; and Miss Woodfin, of Marblehead, was
married in 1857. Messrs. Drake, Drain, Adrain,
SuARES, Trench, Moat, Sunks, Foss, Pitts, Hole,
HoLEMAN, Fall, Faller, and Falls belong to the

RrcHARD Fell lived in Bolton, Eng., in 182L My
washerwoman is Mrs. Bowlinwater, — perhaps a cor-
ruption of " boiling water." Mr. Landfe ar, a graduate
of Yale, is probably not opposed to investments in
real estate. Messrs. Dulles and Fyler may both be
found in the catalogue of that institution. Messrs.
Batt and Ball doubtless played together on the Com-
mon. The late able editor of the Boston " Courier "
(Mr. Kettell) had as an associate Mr. Frye. Mr.
Kittle appears as a grantor in L. 107. Mr. Caner,
though his name sounds rather pugilistic, was a cler-
gyman. Mr, Clinch and Mr. Lynch were also mini-
sters of the gospel, at South Boston. Thomas Maule,
of Salem, was a Quaker. The late Mr. Crackbon
was an amiable, quiet citizen. The prosecuting attor-
ney of Suffolk County is Mr. Cooley, who finds any
thing rather than a celestial empire in our Municipal
Court. One of the hymns in Greenwood's collection
is written by Butcher, another by Toplady. Rev.
Dr. Gannett, though named for a very stupid bird,
has vastly more intellect than his predecessor, Rev.
John Morehead. Our Bootts are not yet worn out.

British Parliament in 1805 ; and IMr. Rosewell was
then employed in the navy-office. Mr. Boarer's
remarks are reported in the London " Times," May,

George Hanger was an English author, 1801. We

been named Dempster (a common hangman), and it
is not an unusual name in this country. The Chi-
nese Governor of the Pekin District (1859) is named
Hung. Steinschneider's (or " stonecutter s ") " Jew-

young Boston fireman named Goggins saved a child
from the third story of a burning building ; and Mr.
Goggin received a large vote for Governor of Virgi-

high station.
Cape Cod received its name from the ancient navi-
gator GosNOLD. Mr. Denyven was at the Burns
Festival in Boston, 1859. We have Bopp; and But-
trick is a common name. Miss Blizard, of St. John s,

Some names are immortalized by a distich ; thus : —
" There was longitude missed on
By good Mr. Whiston,
And not better hit on
By HuiirHREY Ditton," &c.
We have Whiston, Ditson, Button, &c. Humphrey
Ditton's work on the Resurrection is recommended to
the Harvard students in the catalogue of 1773, where
also Hasselquist s " Travels " are (doubtless with
equal reason) commended to the like favor. Mr.
Triplett is probably descended from an ancestor
who was one of three at a birth. Rev. Dr. Trip-
let was formerly prebendary of Westminster. Mr.
Whitehead is, perhaps, a young man : his namesake,
the late Mr. Hoar, was venerable alike for age and
character. Mr. Hore, in the Directory of 1841,
adopts a new spelling. We have Cain, Cane (L. 96,
f. 175), Kaine, and Kane. The latter name belongs
to the nation. A Mr. Cane lives at Hard wick, Mass.
Pontius Pilate has a representative in Mr. Pilatte ;

and even Nero has a namesake among ns. Herrode
is found in Philadelphia ; and Herod, at Lake Vil-
lage, Ark. One Mr. Hayman died in 1806, and
others still live among us. The letter " y," though it
does not vary the pronunciation, is yet decidedly an
advantageous addition to this name. It appears,
however, in the unmitigated form of Ha man, in the
Colony Records of 1660. In 1781, there was an
English writer named Rack; and, in 1761, another
named Toll. Capt. Toll and Miss Toll subscribed
for Jones's " Miscellanies." Mr. Tolefree was gra-
duated at Yale in 1828. Lt. Tolfrey' and Col.
ToLSON were at Fort St. George, India, in 1805. Mr.
ToLE was a colonist in 1640; and Mr. Toll appears
in our Directory of 1857, as does Mr. Tribute in
that of 1858. In the New-York Directory, I find
Mr. ToAL ; also Mr. Zoll (the German for " toll ")
and Mr. Rack. Mr. Tolls lives at Newbui'g, C.W.
Mr. Tax was a Congressional nominee in Pennsylva-
nia, 1858.
Mr. Halpine probably came from Switzerland via
London ; and our Mr. Fattican, who died 1822,
unless named from his obesity, was perhaps born
near the Vatican. The ancient family of Clampit is,
after two centuries, still extant among us in the wife
of a well-known artist. Five families of Clampitt
live in Philadelphia ; and Mr. Clampett lives in Lon-
don, C.W. John Earthy settled among us in 1674.
Mr. Erthman subscribed for the " Tattler." In 1790,

there was an English author named Smellie. Our
Essence is a black man : Mr. Savory and Mr. Otto,
however, are white. The autograph of John Oder,
Boston, April 4, 1782, was advertised for sale, 1859.
Among oiu' recent marriages are those of Mr. Laven-
der and Miss Garlick. Mr. Garlic lives at Toronto,
C.W. Mr. Garlike was British minister at Copen-
hagen in 1805. One of England's belles in the last
century was "the beautiful Molly Lepel."* Miss
Lebel lives at St. Thomas, C.E. Mrs. Plato is a
black woman. The noble house of Nassau has its
representative in a hairdresser. Mr. Valois makes
boots. Mr. Brunswick dealt in furniture. Mr. Ha-
nover is a clerk ; and Mr. Lorrain, a housewright.
The great name of Warwick is borne by only one
poor widow among us. Este flourishes at Toledo, O.
Tudor holds its own. Titus has namesakes among
us. Mr. Priam, of New York, is a waiter. Among
the Messrs. As ay, of Philadelphia, not one is con-
nected with the mint. Julius C^sar was knighted,
and became Master of the Rolls, in England, a hun-
dred and twenty-five years ago ; but our Cesar is
only a hairdresser.
Columbus himself is a shoemaker in New York, as
is also our own Menzikoff. Our Raleigh is a brick-

Wallis, and, in one instance, is enlarged into Wal-

William Pitt once lived in North Square. Our
Canning was sued for breach of promise, February,
1859. Our Homer, Pindar, Tasso, Milton, Dryden,
Waller, Schiller, and Byron, and our Tate and
Brady, have no poetic aspirations. Mr. Dante is a
laborer at London, C.W. Messrs. Juvenal, Boileau,
Voltaire, Addison, mid Thackara, of Philadelphia,
are not known in the world of letters. Our Tully,
Erskine, and Curran, are not orators ; nor are our
Rousseau and Cadmus literary men. Our Lockhart*
is an upholsterer. Our Niebuhr and Manny' sell
shoes. Mr. Virgil, of New York, is an expressman.
Mr. Sophocles, however, is an instructor in our Uni-
versity ; and there was lately a Prof. Tully of Yale
College. One of our Sheridans is connected with
the theatre ; but our Drury is not, nor are our Quins
or QuiNNs. Our Mendelson is a peddler. Our
Beede will not probably be known to posterity as
" the venerable." The dignified name of Mendoza is
borne by a cigar-maker. Our Sidney is a tailor. Of
our four Talbots, two have the occupation of " ser-
vant " and " laborer." Our Davie, though not a

1855 ; and "William Tell lives in Peoria, 111., 1858.
Mr. Bogy, the banker, of St. Louis, foimd himself
in an insecure position in September, 1857; and even
Mr. PocKiiiLL, of Philadelphia, yielded to the pressure
of the times. The two firms of Bottom & Co., of
New Jersey, also got to the bottom of their resources
at the same period. Mr. Gotham probably never saw
New York. Messrs. Goldstone, of Cobourg and of
Toronto, C.W., and Mr. Nogget (168i), did not come
from California. Mr. Harlem is out of his latitude.
George Loyall, of Norfolk, being a navy agent, is
doubtless a good patriot. ]Mr. Kingsland, of New
York, did not become a refugee at the Revolution.
jSIr. Carland's estate is not well situated for a railroad

Methodist-Episcopal service at Lynden, C.W. Rev.
Mr. Gunner, of Salem, Mass., and Rev. Mr. Rally,
of Haysville, C.W., manifestly belong to the church
militant; as did, in his day, Mr. Gunhill, whose ser-
mons were published in London, 1661. Rev. Mr.
Beacon, of Essex, has, no doubt, guided many a
wayfarer in the path of duty. Rev. Mr. Godsell,
whose ordination is mentioned (London " Times,"
June 20, 1859), has a surname as bad as Judas
IscARioT would be for a Christian name. From the
records of the Society for propagating the Gospel, it
appears that Dr. John Colbatch (" cold batch "),
Fellow of Trinity, dispensed the bread of life ; that
Rev. John Broadgate pointed to the narrow way ;
and that three chaplains of the society had the unfor-
tunate names of Tyrer, Wendy (" windy " 1) and
Badgent. Rev. Mr. Uebelacker (" bad acre ") is a
worthy Lutheran clergyman in Boston.
Mr. Lappe, of New Hamburg, C.W., is a shoe-

a mason ; and Mr. Cartman, a laborer. Mr. Brick-
later, of Montreal, is a laborer ; Mr. Pumble, of
Clinton, C.W., a wagon-maker ; and Mr. Saddler,
of Adelaide, C.W., a harness-maker. Mr. Builder, of
Caledonia, CW., is merely a cabinet-maker. Mr.
Spurgeon, of Toronto, C.W., takes care of soles, not
of souls ; and Mr. Hatter, of Ottawa, C.W., is a
shoemaker. Mrs. Bloomy is a schoolmistress at St.
Zepherine, C.E., — an employment decidedly unfa-
vorable to the complexion. Mr. Dew was " collector
of dues " for the West-India Dock Company, London,
1805 ; and Mr. Passman was its messenger.
The Paddy family, though specifically extinct, is
still the largest in Boston. We have the names of
Frail and Parramore. Mr. Pake arrived here in a
Cunard steamer, Xovember, 1857. Many a Hussey

of the "Central America" (1857) was one named
Fallen ; and our Mr. Fallen stole a door-mat, Octo-
ber, 1858. Mr. Frailey was a lieutenant in our navy
in 1849. Both Frailey and Fraily are found in
New York ; and, in Philadelphia, I find Fallen,
Paramore, Parremore, with no less than eight fami-
lies of Frailey, and sixteen families of Fraley. Mr.
Letcher was elected, in 1859, Governor of Virginia.
Kutter. is a common name with us ; and there are
twenty-one families of that name in Philadelphia.
Rev. Samuel Rutter, D.D., was a former Bishop of
Sodor and Man. Bawdes's case is cited, 7 Gray's

Mr. Gess lives in Philadelphia. We have also
Whytall, Whittley, Cutting, and Whittle. Both
Whittle and Wittle are found in New York. Mr.
Whitling is a London author, 1858. Mr. Hackwood
was an employee in the king's household, 1805 ; and,
therefore, probably was not a Yankee. I do not find
the name of Swap ; but Rev. C. E. Swope (a name
before alluded to) was Rector of Grace Church, at
Chicago, in 1850; and twenty-two families of the
name live in Philadelphia.

CHAPTER XI.
PECULIAR SURNAMES CONTINUED.— GOOSE, &c.
The late European belligerents ought to have em-
ployed as umpire our fellow-citizen, Mr. Royal
Makepeace. Mr. Jobs lived in New York, — a
name, in the plural, rather suggestive of city con-
tracts. Our Mr. Job is a family man, and probably
owns railroad stock. Messrs. Tittle, Blank, and
Cyfer have insignificant names. Rev. Mr. Tittle
subscribed for Dart's "Westminster." Mr. Blank-
man and Mr. Aught, and Messrs. Cypher and Cy-
phers, live in New York. We have Syfferman.
At Philadelphia I find families of Blanck, Blank,
and Blankman, two families of Dno, and six families
of Null. Mr. Tittell lives at Preston, C.W. ; Mr.
Ought, at Toronto, C.W. ; and Mr. Tweedle, at Glen
William, C.W. Mr. Earless was sued in 1857. Mr.
Mear made a deed in December, 1856. More is
very common. Mr. Most appears in the Directory of
1857 ; and another Mr. Most lives at Hartford, Conn.
Mr. OvERMORE was admitted a freeman in 1671, and
Mr. Climax himself lives in New York. Mr. Very

Mr. Denyer lives at Toronto, C.W. Mr. Woodnot
was present during the last days of the English poet
Herbert. Willing is found here, and it is one of
the first families in Philadelphia. In New York are
found the names of Doolady, Duduit, and Ducom, —
all implying a pressing request. Mr. Winder, a
passed midshipman ; and Mr. Toler, a midshipman
in our navy in 1849, — have each an insinuating
name ; as has also Mr. Lurem of West Roxbui-y. Mr.
Joins was a sailmaker in the navy, and Mr. Shock
was in the engineer corps at the same time. That
important little word " no " is represented in the
New-York Directory by eight families of Noe. Chil-
lingworth was an eminent English divine of the
seventeenth century. Mr. O. Very lives at Chester-
field, N.H. ; and Mr. Loth, at Bridgeport, Conn.
Mr. Pass AVOW is probably a decided character, as is
also Mr. Eid (German for " oath "). t
Dr. Physic was the first physician of Philadelphia.
In the list of subscribers to Pope's " Homer," I find
the name of Dr. Pellet ; a name which also occurs
among the graduates of Yale. Rev. Dr. Kirk is one
of the most distinguished clergymen of Boston, as was
the late Dr. Kirkland. Within no minster of the

York, is a member of that virtuous fraternity. Mr.
Cars, of that city, is a carman ; and Mr. Carty, a
driver. Among the late failures in the Manchester
trade is announced the name of James Cheetham.
One of the greatest judges of England was named
Law, and Mr. Dunning has been seldom surpassed
at the bar. Mr. Delight, of LawTence, cures bald-
ness ; and his name suits his trade to a hair. Mr.
Newberth, of New Britain, Conn. ; Mr. Newbegin,
of Ellsworth, Me. ; and our Mr. Newman, — have
probably names of a Puritanic origin. Mr. Amend,
of New York, has a more modest name of the same
class. Mr. Amiss, a London bankrupt, October, 1859,
is similarly situated in name and in fact.
Many of our names have an undue share of con-
sonants ; as Berstck, Bertsch, &c. Nitzsch was a
German naturalist. Retzsch's Outlines are celebrat-
ed. In others the vowels predominate, as in Keyou.
We have one name without any vowel (Mr. Vghl).
I find also, in Philadelphia, thie name of Shnpf ; and
in Peoria, 111., 1858, Mr. Prrsch, — each as embarrass-
ing to the vocal organs as some which occur in a late
poem. In New York I find Sminck. Of a very mean
and contemptible person, we say that he is a perfect
Peter Smink. About the year 1800, there was a
veritable personage of this name ; of whose character,
13

however, I know nothing. He was, by occupation, a
bottle-w^asher. Peter Smink is one of the characters
in a play written by John Howard Payne.
There are many fools still to be found, and some-
times even in the first society ; but the wealthy family
of Goose has become extinct. It seems to have been
always rather a distasteful name : hence their convey-
ances were sometimes made with an alias, — " Goose,
alias Yergoose ; " and generally they sank the
Goose altogether. Some of the most valuable es-
tates in Boston were held by this family for several
generations. Isaac Vergoose, in 1768, conveyed to
Jonathan Amory a tract of land on Washington
Street, at the entrance of Temple Place. The deed
was recorded in one of the two missing volumes
(L. 114, f. 26), and I got it recorded again in 1832 (L.
360, f. 199). Peter Vergoose, the ancestor, owned
as early as 1662, and died in 1667. His son Isaac
died in 1711 ; and, in 1734, a division was made of
his numerous estates (L. 50, f. 220). One of his
daughters was Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Fleet, the
printer ; and mother of Thomas and John Fleet, also
printers of note. " Songs for the Nursery, or Mo-
ther Goose's Melodies for Children," was " printed by
T. Fleet, at his printing-house, Pudding Lane, 1719 ;
price two coppers." The titlepage is embellished by
a goose with a long neck, and her mouth wide open.
It contains many of the songs in an earlier English
publication called " Rhymes for the Nursery ; or.
MOTHER goose's MELODIES. 99
Lulla-byes for Children." The new title was doubt-
less a compliment by the printer to his Mother-in-law
Goose for her valuable contributions to this immortal
work. (See Boston " Transcript," Jan. 14, 1860.)
Rowe's Pasture, on Bedford Street, through Avhich
Rowe Street was laid out, and which measured three
hundred and one feet on Essex Street, is derived from
the devisees of IsaAc Vergoose. The Essex-street
Church and the Rowe-street Church are thus traced
back to a humble origin. A Mr. Goos still lives at
New London, Conn. ; and one is found in our Direc-
tory for 1858.
The analogous English names of Gander, Goat,
Blunder, Folly, Trash, Mote, Chaff, and Nill, are
not found with us. Mr. Trash lives in Bangor, Me.,
1859. A likeness of the fost Lord Clive was en-
graved by W. T. Mote. In 1805, Mr. Gander was
chamber-keeper in the British Secrjstary of • State's
Office ; and Capt. Go ate commanded the British ship
" Sylph." The London " Tirie^ ' ;of Juii^v 1859,
mentions the suit of one Goamhy '- Th€ firm of .G..W.
Folley & Co., of Rochester, N.Y^, as niight .hfve'
been anticipated, failed in 1857. Flat.man's Poems
were published in 1686. Nihell's "Treatise on the
Pulse " appeared in 1 744. Dr. Nihell subscribed for
Chauchard's maps. We also have, in our Directory,
Dr. Nihill. a Mr. Nill and a Mr. McNaught live
in New York, and Nill is found in Philadelphia.

100
GREENGOOSE, WILDGOOSE, ETC.
1715. East Boston was, for a century and a half,
known as Noddles Island. Ody wrote in 181 T. In
England we find Goose, Greengoose, and Gosling.
Mr. GossELiN was captain in the British Navy, 1795.
Amono; the subscribers to Thomson s " Seasons " are
Mrs. Gostli>"g; also ]Mr. En ser (perhaps derived from
anser, the Latin for " goose ") ; and on the subscrip-
tion-list of the " Macklin Bible " is George Gostlin^g,
Esq. Mr. An SER appears in oiu: Directory for 1857.
]Mr. Greengoose took the oath of fidelity to oiu*
government in 1674. Hon. Da^id Sears informs me
that a Mr. Wildgoose was largely concerned in navi-
gation at New Providence about twenty-five years
asro ; and one of this name was domesticated as a clerk
of Mr. Ebexezer Breed in Boston. In New York I
find Gandar and Gander ; also Gans, the German
for " goose ; " and a solitary Goose, with several
GoslinttS; 'cWe'.have Gansman ; and one Gosling

NAMES FROM HEATHEN DEITIES, &c.; HEAVEN AND HELL, &c.;
MAN, AND PARTS OF A MAN.
The heathen deities, Odin, Backus (said to be " bake-
house "), Pallas, and Mars, dwell with us. Rev. Mr.
Mars is a clergyman in Worcester. The goddess
Flora keeps house in Boston. Our Pollo is, per-
haps, a corruption of Apollo. Mr. Ceres was mar-
ried at North Cambridge, October, 1858. Mr. Iris,

was wounded at the Battle of Solferino. In New
York there are not fewer than thirteen families of
Christ, including a firm of Spies, Christ, and Com-
pany. A Dr. Christ lives in London, C.W. Mr

In England there are families of Saint, Apostles,
Christmas, Martyr, &c. A Mr. Martyr subscribed
for Wild's "Dramas," 1805. A short time since, a
man fell in with three young girls in Boston, who
robbed him : he gave his name as Thomas Saint. I
have doubts, however, as to this saint among sinners ;
since, not long ago, some rowdies gave to the court,
as their own, the names of our most distinguished
Unitarian clergymen, and were fined accordingly.
Mr. Selig (i.e., German for " blessed ") deals in caps.
* L. M. Sargent, Esq., writes to me, Feb. 13, 1857: "When I was in Santa
Cruz, some years ago, I boarded in a family in which some Spaniards, male and
female, also boarded; and I met them first at dinner. I was quite amazed by the
words, 'Jesus, shall I help you to more soup?' addressed by one of these gentle-
men to his friend opposite. Presently, ' Miss Jesus, a little of the,' &c."

tionaries as a distinguished astronomer of Hungary,
born in 1720. In the Xew-York Director}^ are ten

Oldman lived at Buffalo, N.Y., in 1855. In the
New-York Directory are the names of Babe and

269. Miss Jewsbury is a popular English writer.
* Hon. Nathan Dane, of Beverly, founded the Law-School at Harvard Col-
lege. His "Abridgment of American Law" is written in a very clumsy style.
Thus he says of our writs: "These few simple forms answer in ninety-nine cases
in a hundred in our practice in mesne process, in civil suits ; indeed, in all, except,"
&c. Mr. Dane, it would seem, must have studied at the Inns of Court.

* The writer of "Britaine's Remaines" (1614) says, "Loring is 'de Lotherin-

178 NAMES FROM TOWNS, ETC.
Hounslow Heath, formerly so celebrated for its high-
wayman, is represented by Miss Hounslow, a patient
in our Hospital in 1823.
All these classes of names doubtless originated in
ancestors who came from the countries or places thus
indicated. On the other hand, several towns among
us, as is well known, have received their names from
distinguished citizens ; as Lowell, Lawrence, Quin-
CY,* BELCHERTOWN,t &C.
The author of " Britaine's Remaines " says, " The
most surnames in number, the most ancient, and of
best account, have been local, deduced from places in
Normandie and the countries confining, being either
the patrimoniall possessions or native places of such
as served the Conqueror, or came in after out of
Normandy ; " and mentions, as specimens, Warren,
Percy, Devereux, Tracy, Montfort, &c. He adds,
" Neither is there any village in Normandy that gave
not denomination to some family in England." He
then mentions various families Avhose names are de-
rived " out of places in Britaine, in other parts of
France, out of the Netherlands," &c., " from places in
England and Scotland infinite likewise," adding fifty-
seven instances under this last head; as Murray,
* In this town there still lives, on his ancestral estate, one who unites the fire
of youth to the wisdom of age. Like the monarch of the forest, still crowned with
verdure, in him is fulfilled the promise of Holy Writ, " His leaf also shall not wi-
ther." It is needless to add, that I refer to the Hon. Josiah Quincy, late President
of Hansard College.
t The growing refinement of the citizens will at last prove fatal to this name,
which has become very distasteful.
PROMISCUOUS NAMES. 179
Clifford, Cotton, Hume, Whitney, &c. He says,
" Nor is there any town, village, hamlet, or place, in
England, but hath made names to families."
Before surnames were introduced, an individual
would naturally be identified by his place of residence,
with the prefix " of; " as, John of Salisbury. " Von "
of the German, " van " of the Dutch, "de " of the
French, " o " of the Irish, "ap" of the Welsh, &c., are
prefixes very extensively used as parts of the name,
and which have this meaning. They may indeed also
have the meaning of " son of ; " and be used as indi-
cating descent, rather than residence. Thus, in our
Directory, I find Von Arnim, Van Brunt, De Blois,
t&c. ; and O's innumerable. It has been suggested,
that Upjohn, the name of the distinguished architect,
is really Apjohn.
Some have promiscuous names ; as Canale, Peo-
ples, VoLK (German for "people "), Class, Fellows,
Folk, Elders, Squires, Crowd, Garrison, Troop,
Troup, Many (1665), Chapp, Person, Persons, Pro-
vince, Thing, Jury. Miss Jades was married in

TLE. The last Lady Holderness w^as daughter of
Mr. Doublet. Richard Crawshay, Esq., subscribed
for Chauchard's maps : his name recalls a species of
needlework. Mr. Crochet lived in Calcutta in 1805 :
perhaps his name should be classed with those de-

Governor of Texas in 1856 is named Pease. Mr.
Pease, of New York, is celebrated in connection with

thus also saved his hodi/, may perhaps have been the
progenitor of this family. Joseph Peas was a sub-

and another of that name lives at Bowmanville, C.W.
Mr. Blacklaw lives in New York. Mr. Carlaw, of
the same city, can give only travelling advice. Mr.
Greenlaw would seem to be equally unreliable. If
the law be viewed as one of the black arts, as was
once suggested by the late Douglas Jerrold, it is a
curious co-incidence that its chief ministers are Coke
and Blackstone.
We have several names which seem amenable to
the law, — Mr. Swindle, Mr. Swindell, Mr. Stehl-
ing, and Mr. Robb ; and, unless Mr. Sharper and Mr.
Trickey are careful, their names will bring them into
trouble. This last name is very common in Bangor ;
but it is not known whether the family own Eastern
lands. Some years ago, a Mr. Trickey petitioned to
have his name changed, because he found it inconve-

Boston may boast of being the native place of one

Laer ; as. Van Rensselaer. Marsh is very com-
mon ; and we have Tidmarsh (i.e., " tide-marsh "),
&c. Bray, " a bank of earth ; " Char or Car, " a
city ; " Vale or Vall, Dale or Dall, Pool or Poll,
Loch or Lake, — are all parts of our surnames.
Also Water ; as in Atwater, &c.
Many names end with Street, Gate, Tree, Way,
&c. ; as, Bradstreet, Southgate, Shumway, &c. ;
and, as we have mentioned [ante, p. 319), with Yett,
meaning " gate."
End itself is sometimes the end of a surname ; as
in TOWNSEND, &c.

a hundred and ten years old, was buried.

CHAPTER XL.
NAMES ORIGINATING IN MISTAKE; TRANSLATED; CHANGED; &c.
Many names are undoubtedly the mere result of mis-
take or mis-spelling. A late resident officer of our
Hospital informs me that he has received bills made
out against the institution, in which that word has
been spelt in forty-six different ways, a list of which
he sends me. In 1844, one Joseph Galliano died
in Boston ; and, in our Probate Records, he has
the alias of Joseph Gallon, — that having been his
popular name. Plamboeck, in some of our con-
veyances, became Plumback. These are names in a
transition state. So likewise a Spanish boy, having
the Christian name of Benito, pronounced Beneeto,
who shipped with Dr. Bowditch in one of his voyages
(as mentioned in his Memoir, 1839), became Ben
Eaton;* and a foundling, named Personne (i.e.,
" nobody "), became Mr. Pearson. Our Bendix is
probably Benjamin Dix consolidated. Mr. Bendixen
died in England, October, 1859 ("Galignani"). Per-
haps our Barnfield is but a corruption of the
• See Memoir prefixed by me to the " M^canique Celeste."
NAMES ORIGINATING IN MISTAKE, ETC. 419
glorious old Dutch name Barneveldt. Our Rawley
is obviously Raleigh. Bakeoven (a?ite, p. 275) may
be from Backhoffner, mentioned in " Galignani," Oc-
tober, 1859. Jacques Beguin of Texas, as we learn
from Olmstead, became John Bacon. The firm of
Wehle and Weniger, in Roxbury, might easily be
thus transmuted to Veal and Vinegar. Bompas has
been corrupted into Bumpus ; and another French
name, Gachet, is the origin of the two families of
Gasset and Gushee. Bellows is supposed to be a
corruption of de Belle Eau. The family crest
represents " water poured from a chalice into a
basin." The " beautiful waters " of Bellows Falls
will for ever appropriately commemorate the name
and home of the founder of this family in our
country.* Our Dabney is supposed to be D'Aubigne.
In one part of East Boston, chiefly occupied by Irish
laborers, the streets are named for the poets Byron,
Southey, Wordsworth, &c. Alexander Wads worth
is a surveyor well known to many of those residents,
no one of whom, probably, ever heard of the Sage of
Grasmere ; and, in the deeds of their lots, the sur-
veyor has very generally carried the day. We have
also Wardsworth. Mr. Cisco is Sub-treasurer of
New York. This family originated in a foreigner
named John Francisco, who, for brevity, voluntarily
* See " History of the Bellows Family," by Rev. Henry W. Bellows, D.D.,
of New York. The writer of " Britaine's Remaines " supposes this name to be a
corruption of Bellhouse, and regards the Bellew Family as derived from de
Belle Eau.
420 jsames originating in mistake, etc.
changed his signature to John F. Cisco. Europe has
a simihir name in Rev. F. G. Lisco, of Berlin.
The author of " Britaine's Remaines," alluding to
the corruption of local names, says, " Who would
imagine," &c., "Bacon, Creping, Alshop, &c., Harts-
HORNE, and many such like, to be local names '? Yet
most certainly they are." He thinks Inkepen is thus
derived from Ingepen, AVormewood from Ormund,
Drinkwater from Derwentwater, Cuckold from
CocKswoLD, Smalbacke froui Smalbach, Devill
from Uavill or D'Eivill, Neithermill from Netter-
viLL, Troublefield from Turberville. These
changes are made, he says, " by the common sort,
who desire to make all to be significative."
Many foreign names are entirely altered by transla-
tion. Thus Pierpont would be Stonebridge. And,
if not translated, they often wholly lose their original
significance. Thus the German Gutman should be
Goodman ; Kraft, Sinn, and Lust should be Strength,
Meaning, Pleasure, &c. In the London Directory
of 1858 are the names of Gut and Gutkind (i.e.,
" good " and " good child "). Goodchap, in plain
English, is found in their company. Richard Good-
lad subscribed to the " Tattler." Goodlad's " Absor-
bent , System " was published, London, 1814. A
French family of Blanchpied, settled in Essex
County, has had its name both translated and cor-
rupted, — ending in families of Whitefoot and
Blumpey; and a German named Rubsum, who emi-
NAMES ORIGINATING IN MISTAKE, ETC. 421
grated to Charleston, S.C, became, by translation, Mr.
TuRNiPSEED. It is not only gravely asserted, but is
considered to be proved, that the French ^-jour'' is de-
rived from the Latin " dies"- through the changes of
diurnal, journal, jour. In May, 1859, a Miss Foos
was a patient in our Hospital ; her name being pro-
bably a corruption of the German Fuss, " a foot."
Many grotesque names are known to have been
given to foundlings. A female infant left at a house
in Otis Place, Boston, in 1856, was called Mary Otis;
and one left in an outbuilding in Brookline, in that
year, was appropriately named Fanny Shed.
Many other names have, from time to time, been
silently changed. Thus the Blague Family, of this
county, became Blake ; Everedd was altered to
Webb ; Fitzpen became Phippen. It is well known
that VoLNEY assumed that name to get rid of
"Chasse-Bceuf." By a learned decision of the New-
York Court, 1859, it was adjudged that Mr. Snook
was justified in taking the name of Pike. Other
names are pronounced so differently from the mode
in which they are spelt as to be hardly recognized.
Like the coin of a country, they are universally
clipped and worn. Thus the English names of
Cholmondeley, Brougham, Haworth, Auchinleck,
MoHUN, and Cockburn, are Chumley, Broom, Horth,
Affleck, Moon, and Coburn ; and a fellow-collegian
from the South, Mr. Talliaferro, was Mr. Tolliver ;
&c. Our own Thuolt, of Hungarian origin, is pro-
422 NAMES ORIGINATING IN MISTAKE, ETC.
nounced Tote. Such names, in the course of time,
often become spelt as they are pronounced. Thus
BuFFDM is supposed to be Buffham ; Pctnam, to be
Puttenham; Frothingham, to be Fotheringham; &c.
A Capt. FoTHERiNGHAM was at Fort St. George,
1805. PuLTENHAM Still cxists as an English name.
One Cholmeley was an old Lord-Mayor of London.
Snooks is kno^vn to be an abbreviation of Sevenoaks.
Crownin SHIELD was formerly popularly called Ground-
sell; and this name is found in New York. We
have St. John, which is pronounced Sinjohn ; and
that name is common in Canada. Our Sinclair is
doubtless St. Clair. The letter " d " is almost uni-
versally cut off. Thus Cold Lane^ in Boston, became
Cole Lane ; and we have the name of Colburn
(i.e., ''cold stream"). Mr. Colegrove, of Middle-
town. Mass., and Mr. Colwell, of Philadelphia, sub-
scribed for Agassiz's work.
Very many names were annually changed by au-
thority of the General Court, sometimes decidedly
for the better, but often with little or no improve-
ment. It is a remarkable circumstance, that since
the jurisdiction of this matter has been given to the
Judges of Probate in the respective counties, so that
sufferers in name can no longer claim the sympathy
of the whole Commonwealth, the number of those
who apply to the law for relief is very small.
A mere abstract of the names changed by the
Legislature would be very amusing. Thus we find

Broadbrooks, 1805; Snupe, 1806; Bdmside,* 1807;
LiNKHORNEW, 1800 ; Frickey, 1824 ; Tink, 1826 ;
Slate, 1827; Crouch, 1832; Turn, 1837; Feachem,
1845; Pedder, 1847; &c. Mr. Pepper Mixer, in
1810, retained his surname, while he parted with his
Christian name. Mr. Thode Coats, in 1814, fol-
lowed his example. Samuel Quince Whitefoot, on
the contrary, in 1833, liked his Christian name, and
merely dropped the foot An entire family of Corpo-
ral, in 1847, laid aside that dignity; and a very
numerous family of Vest divested themselves in 1848.
Mr. Thomas Jest, in 1850, decided that it was no
joke to retain such a name any longer. Mr. Gest,
of Cincinnati, however, as lately as 1857, subscribed
for Agassiz's work. Mr. Mock, in this mode, escaped
from the mockeries of his friends (L. 241, f. 36).
* a distinguished lawyer of Middlesex County, named Burnside, disliking
his Christian name, in 1807 applied for leave to change it ; and, as he wrote a bad
hand, it was supposed that he also wished to alter his surname into Bumside.
The change was made accordingly; and, after suffering a year's penance, it be-
came again necessary to ask legislative aid. Indeed, he did not fully become himself
again until after two more acts of the Legislature, — Nov. 17, 1808, and March 4,
1809.

The chapter of miscellaneous names still extant
does not contain any of our names mentioned in the
previous chapters, — a large majority of which, how-
ever, are still found among us ; and the present chap-
ter of extinct families is by no means a complete list,
but merely a statement of those which have happened
to come under my notice in my professional re-
searches, and is chiefly confined to miscellaneous
names not previously alluded to. To have repeated,
under these two chapters, all the names mentioned
in this volume, as being either extant or extinct,
would have made it of an inconvenient size.

CHAPTER XLIIL
CONCLUDING REMARKS. — WORDS DERIVED FROM NAMES.
I HAVE now completed my desultory remarks on the
subject of surnames. In classifying them, I have
sometimes regarded their apparent rather than their
actual derivations and original meanings. In some
instances, as I well know, my analogies have been
more fanciful than real. I was led to prepare these
remarks by an article in the " Edinburgh Review "
for April, 1855 ; and my attention was subsequently
called to a little treatise on surnames, privately printed
in the year 1856, by B. Homer Dixon, Esq., which I
found very interesting and suggestive. After I had
completed my collection. Lower's elaborate essay fur-
nished me with additional illustrations. Had I
seen these publications at an earlier period, the great
extent of the subject would have deterred me alto-
gether.
Many words in our language are derived from
names either of ancient gods or heroes, &c. Thus
we have martial from Mars, the god of war ; cereal,
from Ceres, the goddess of fruits ; bacchanalian, from
Bacchus, the god of the wine-cup. An epicure is a
WORDS DERIVED FROM NAMES. 467
most familiar word and person. Poetry deals in
boreal blasts, (colian strains, and gentle zephyrs. We
may speak with propriety of a village Vulcan. Her-
cules may never have existed; but herculean^ augean^
&c., are indisputable exponents of his labors. His-
torical allusions are endless. We speak of Van-
dalism., of a modern Brutus, of the Nestor of an
assembly, of a Xaiitippe, of a Platonic attachment,
of a Ciceronian style, of a Shakspearian or Spen-
serian stanza, of the Byronic school of poetry, of an
Augustan age of literature, a Machiavellian policy, a
Jeremiad., &c. We have also the adjective Elizabethan.
We have Calvinism., Ariaiiism, and Mesmerism.
Pasquinade is derived from Pasquino, a Roman cob-
bler. Munchausen will always be the type of lying
travellers. Ferdinand Mendez Pinto begins to have a
better reputation for veracity than he had in Shak-
speare's day. Malthus will ever strive in vain to
check an excess of population. Patronage will
always have its representative in Macenas., and
Croesus will never be displaced by any modern
Rothschild. Sometimes the name is preserved, but
with a bad sense affixed to it ; thus working positive,
and not merely negative, injustice. For instance,
Hector, Hectoring, are terms equivalent to bully,
blustering. Indeed, the very goddess of grace and
beauty herself has but given a name to the most
loathsome of diseases. Gibberish is said, by the
Reviewer to whom I have referred, to be derived
468
WORDS DERIVED FROM NAMES.
from Geber, the alchemist ; and freak is stated by
Dr. Doran to be derived from the caprices of a Dr.
Freake of St. Bartholomew's. Earl Spencer and Lord
Raglan will each be remembered by an outside gar-
ment ; Kossuth^ by a hat ; and Sir William Congreve,
by his rockets. We have the Bartlett pear, one of
our choicest varieties of that fruit. Col. Bowie s
name is affixed to the deadly knife of the American
frontier s-man. The names of other persons are still
preserved in popular phrases ; such as, " Before I
could say Jack Eobinson ; " and " My eye and Betty
Martin ; "* " Hobson's choice ; " &c. But who were
they?
Xo men or women have more truly lived than
those described in some works of fiction ; and, from
some of these, various words have been derived. The
hero of La Mancha figures in every Quixotic enter-
prise, and lawyers and politicians daily abuse each
other in a Pickwickian sense. Shylock stands forth
for ever the embodiment of avarice.
Discoverers and inventors have not always had
justice done them in the matter of nomenclature.
Thus America t is named for one who did not dis-
* This phrase is said to have originated from a sailor's account to his ship-
mates of what he lieard in churcli, where they were chantinj; an invocation to St.
Martin. Tiie words which he had heard and misunderstood were, " Mihi, Beate
Martine," &c.
t This name has been lately vindicated quite ingeniously as derived from the
Italianized form of the German "Emmerich," which is regarded as a contraction of
the Gothic " Ainnanareiks;" and, as applied to a country, is considered as mean-
ing " Most sublime dominion." — B. ILmier Dixon.
WORDS DERIVED FROM NAMES. 469
cover it, — a flagrant wrong, which poetry in vain
attempts to redress in " Hail, Columbia, happy land,"
&c. A short name stands a mncli better chance of
commemoration than a long one ; and yet Daguerre
is immortalized in the daguerreotype. Dr. Guillotin,
acting from a benevolent purpose of producing insen-
sibility to pain under peculiarly disagreeable circum-
stances, will go down to posterity as a monster of
cruelty. Persons rendered insensible by ether, during
surgical operations, ought to be spoken of as Mor-
tonized. We speak of Macadamized roads ; and, in
this latitude, we hear of the Nicolson pavement.
Science has its voltaic battery ; and ^ the verb to
galvanize is very expressive, and entirely legitimate
beyond the limits of science : but Fulton's name will
never supersede the more significant word steamer.
Celebrated events of mythology and history are
thus perpetuated. We speak familiarly of " crossing
the Rubicon," of "an apple of discord," of "Pandora's
box," &c. American editors thought, till the fall of
Sebastopol, that the Russian would prove as long as
the Trojan war. Marathon and Thermopylae belong
to the geography of freedom. The Colossus may be
a myth ; but we have colossal. Such is the origin of
many of our proverbial aphorisms. Words are some-
times coined with a general signification from parti-
cular striking instances of the conduct which they
describe ; as, nepotism. Some crimes are of such
atrocity, that the perpetrator s name is at once appro-
470 WORDS DERIVED FROM NAMES.
priated to them. Thus, to murder for the sake of
selling the dead body is to Burke ; so the systematic
species of secret murder, extensively practised in India,
has enriched the language with Tkug. The summary
proceedings of Judge Lynch have also given us a
new word. If we had not already the verb " to hum-
bug," Barnum would, I think, stand a very fair chance
of verbal immortality.
Squatter has, Avith us, its appropriate significa-
tion of a possessor or actual occupant of lands
without title. The subject of squatter sovereignty,
indeed, just now bids fair to be one of fearful national
importance. Pecuniary defaulters are so numerous,
that no one has yet given his own name to the pro-
cess. Even the verb to Swartwout or Schuylerize has
not yet forced its way into our language. The pub-
lic is better pleased with the more general term, " to
absquatulate." This expression, by its elegance,
reminds one of the popular names of localities.
Jeffrey spent his summer months at Stuckgown. In
Dan vers, Mass., is, or was, a spot known as " The
Devils Dishful." The town of '• Backbone " is found
in Arkansas ; " Bad Axe," in Wisconsin ; " White
Pigeon," in Michigan ; " Spreadeagle," in Pennsyl-
vania ; " Why Not," in Mississippi ; and " Jolly
Fraction," in Monroe County, O. " Bumpass " is a
newly established post-office station in Virginia. An
extensive fire occurred in May, 1860, in the town of

would not be improved by being translated into "Red
Stick." The Post-office Directory contains the towns
of " Bad Track " and " Broken Road," " Blue-Black "
and " Yellow-Red," " Coffin-Grove " and " Dead-
Man's Hollow," &c. ; and, among the recent mining
nomenclature of California, I find " Rot-Gut," " Hen-
Peck City," "Louse Village," " Ragtown," "Shirt-
tail Bend," "Hell's Delight," &c. To Scotch ears,
" Bannockburn " has glorious associations ; and the
" Brandywine " is not the least of our rivers. We
have had also our battle of the " Cowpens." The
eighth Earl of Kildare was " general on the field of
Knocktoe."
Politics give a temporary significance to the most
absurd and grotesque party designations, — " Silver
Greys," "Hard Shells," "Softs," "Old Hunkers,"
" Locos," " Know Nothings," &c. How instantly
do the public tahe any allusion to Gov. Marcy's
"pantaloons,"* or to Scott's "hasty plate of soup"!
The simple words, " so much noise and confu-
sion," have a marked significance as applied to
political epistles. " The Law-and-Order Party " is
but another name for Missouri Border Ruffians.
Science and art, in all their various branches and
* Mr. Marcy, as one of the New-York judges, was by law entitled to charge
the State for his travelling expenses while holding court. On one of these occa-
sions, he had his pantaloons repaired at a cost of twenty-five cents; which item, by
mistake of his clerk, was inserted in his account, and paid by the State. When
he was subsequently a candidate for the office of Governor, his opponents had, at
their headquarters, an enormous pair of pantaloons, mth a large patch in the rear,
suspended across Broadway.

departments, are constantly creating new words.
Prof. Treadwell, in a recent admirable pamphlet,
suggests the reflection, how impossible it would now
be to write in the language of Cicero the most ele-
mentary treatise on mechanics or geology. While
on the one hand, therefore, the names of persons may
often possess much value and importance as indicat-
ing the origin of the various families, and thus of the
nation which they together compose ; on the other
hand, the words in use in any language throw great
light on the national character ; indicating, in an
unerring manner, its social peculiarities, its degree
of advancement in knowledge, virtue, and refine-
ment ; besides often indicating its remote origin, and
affording a means of approximately estimating the
proportions in which its heterogeneous elements
have at last become mingled together and consoli-
dated.
The seemingly barren field of philology has been
traversed by many an enthusiastic inquirer after
truth, whose researches have enriched the literature
of Europe and America ; and the few additional
materials now faithfully collected may perhaps, in
a slight degree, facilitate future investigations in a
corresponding department of knowledge.

always produces the color indicated by the Christian
name. Of the same character are the names of Rev.
Rezin Sapp, who offered resolutions at a Universalist
meeting in New York, May 9, 1860 ; and of Mr.
Tredwell Scudder, a former member of the New-
York Assembly. A widow named Desire Mann had
several suits pending in Middlesex County many
years ago ; and much merriment was produced among
the bar by some humorous remarks of Chief-Justice
Artemas Ward, when any of these actions was called
up. Sometimes the Christian name is but the sur-
name reversed. Thus, Mr. Eladsit Tisdale formerly
lived at Deerfield, N.Y. When the initial letter of
the Christian name is "A," an odd result is produced
in business signs. Thus, we have in Boston, " A.
Small, Grocer ; " and in New York there was a sign,
" A. Rotton, Apothecary." In other parts of the
country, parents have named their children for the

Literature and life alike abound with errata ; which
cannot be altogether avoided, even by the utmost
vigilance. How often, indeed, does some serious
mistake mar the beauty of a book or a character !
With patient labor, I have set up this humble memo-
rial to those who have lived in Suffolk County ; and,
in view of the foregoing list of errata^ my feelings
are like those of the bereaved husband mentioned in
" Dealings with the Dead " (vol. i. p. 31), who erected,
in the graveyard of Norfolk, Va., a marble monument
to his deceased wife, on which Avas carved the fol-
lowing inscription : " Sacred to the memory of Mrs.
Margaret," &c., " wife of," &c., " who died," &c., &c.
" Erratum^ for Margaret, read Martha."
