  • Johns Family in North Devon - Some Very Ancient History Johns Has Been in Use As a Surname in North Devon As Far Back As the Sixth Century
    R.::21 II/I { Johns Family in North Devon - some very ancient history Johns has been in use as a surname in North Devon as far back as the sixth century. There are many legends of King Brechan who was supposed to have gone from Wales to Ireland as a monk of the Celtic Church. On his return to his native Wales he married a nun (quite normal at the time!) and had twenty-six children, all of whom became Saints. He sent them to convert the heathen- that is the population of Devon and Cornwall. The places associated with them and the churches they established still bear their names to this day. Fifteen are in Cornwall. Several settled along the Bristol Channel coast of Somerset and Devon. In North Devon one of these sons of Brechan, 8t Brannock is reputed to have sailed across the Bristol Channel on his cloak. He had been told by God to build a church where he found a farrowing sow. This is the origin of St Brannock's church at Braunton At Instow between Bamstaple and Bideford tradition has it that another son named In which is a form of John came ashore and collected converts. They were Johns' - his people and used his name as their surname, thus Johns unlike Johnson is not a patronymic. It is a curious fact that the surname Johns was only found in the Western Counties of England and in South Wales until the early 19th century. In Cornwall the family was concentrate around Truro and produced some remarkable men including William Noy Johns a Lawyer who became Attorney General to King Charles 1st• In this branch of the family there have been many lawyers.
