Master Name Derivation Studies Documents, Research Reports, and Correspondence relating to The E T H I N G T O N S U R N A M E S In Great Britain and America by The Ethington Family Organization Harold D. Ethington, President 4334 Lynne Lane Salt Lake City Utah 84124 [email protected] www.ethington.org Spring, 2004 The Ethington Family Organization Page 2 Spring, 2004 Introduction Mr. O. P. Clarke, acting commissioner for the United States Department of the Interior, must have shaken his head in utter disbelief. It was Wednesday, April 20th, 1881 as he took his pen in hand, and addressed himself to the postmaster in Mount Pleasant, Spotsylvania County, Virginia: Sir, About the year 1840, Susan Ethirington, or Eatherton, or Edenton, widow of John Etherington, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, applied from your county for pension and filed in evidence a copy of the New Testament, which it is now desired to return. Some of her children were named John, Henry, James, Benjamin, and Francis. If you can do without inconvenience, will you favor this office with the names and post office addresses of some of the descendants of the above pensioner? Please return this letter with your reply. Very respectfully, O. P. Clarke Acting Commissioner One family, one page, 5 spellings of the name. It is no wonder that Mr. Clarke struggled with this. So did the family. And the multitude of spellings over the years shows just how hard it is to capture the sound of this name as it is spoken by its bearers. The documents and comments in this report trace the attempts by family and scholars alike to understand the names Ethington. It is so difficult even today, that the three or four syllables morph into variations never dreamed of by the bearers. The first syllable could be anywhere from a strong “E” sound as in beet, to a soft “A” sound as in bath, or it could have been anywhere in between, a sound approximated by the unusual letter “Æ” . The second syllable was no less difficult. Some retain the hard “D” of a tongue tap on the upper pallet, while others soften that same written “D” into a “th” sound with the tongue placed between the teeth. If the name originates in the Adder River valley of Scotland as we now think, the “er” sound survives in the spoken “Etherington”. But with time, the energy-consuming “er” sound drops out, the name is reduced from four syllables to three, and we end up with Addington, Ethington and Edington. And on and on. The etymology of the name remains hidden, and it continues to this day to morph into forms completely unexpected. Look at the mail you receive today. My favorite so far is “Effington”—engraved forever on the headstone of my grandfather’s first wife. My, how they must have struggled with that one. This report is an attempt to organize the body of research done over the years on the source of the family and of the name. It is not definitive. There is no one answer. And there is no agreement as to source or origin. Even the one source that is earliest and quoted most often— Carr’s Coldingham Prior of 1836, after stating that Edrington derived its name from its contiguity to the river Whitadder, does not further explain how he associates the names. Actually, we do have the answer. It came from a most unlikely source, but with complete confidence. I was sitting in a barber’s chair in the San Francisco California International Airport. The barber had an interesting accent, and I inquired where he was from. He replied that he came from Puerto Rico, and he noted that I too had an accent and he could tell exactly where I came from. Curiously, I asked where he thought that would be. With complete assurance, he said: “You come from Scotland. I cut hair on people from all over the world in this place, and I can tell from the color and texture of your hair that you are Scottish. There is no doubt about it!” So there you have it. Perhaps we will never know the full story of our family name. But hopefully, with time, effort, and studies such as this, we will come to a better understanding of just who we are. And if you are still unsure, just ask your barber. Harold D. Ethington March, 2004 Sandy, Utah, USA The Ethington Family Organization Page 4 Spring, 2004 Table of Contents 1.

Resilient Communities 1.1 what is a Resilient Community? Resilient Communities is an initiative supported by local, scottish, and the UK Governments, the principles of which are, communities and individuals harnessing and developing local response and expertise to help themselves during an emergency in a way that complements the response of the emergency responders. Emergencies happen, and these can be severe weather, floods, fires, or major incidents involving transport etc. Preparing your community and your family for these types of events will make it easier to recover following the impact of an emergency. Being aware of the risks that you as a community or family may encounter, and who within your community might be able to assist you, could make your community better prepared to cope with an emergency. Local emergency responders will always have to prioritise those in greatest need during an emergency, especially where life is in danger.

You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/164502/ Deposited on: 17 September 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Eila Williamson (Glasgow, Scotland) Names of Salmon Pools in Berwickshire Introduction The River Tweed at around 98 miles in length is the second longest river in Scotland. From its source, the first 75 miles lie in Scotland, the next 19 miles forming the border between Scotland and England, while the final 4 miles to the North Sea are completely in England. It is divided into four main sections: Upper Tweed, Middle Tweed, Lower Tweed and Bottom Tweed.1 The focus of this paper is on the names of salmon pools in those parts of the river (in Lower Tweed and Bottom Tweed) which fall into the historical county of Berwickshire in Scotland, the place-names of which are being surveyed for the Recovering the Earliest English Language in Scotland: Evidence from Place-Names project, based at the University of Glasgow and funded for three years (2016–2018) by the Leverhulme Trust.2 While the project is surveying the major names for all 32 parishes in Berwickshire, more detailed survey is being undertaken for the four Tweedside parishes of Eccles, Coldstream, Ladykirk and Hutton which lie along the Anglo-Scottish border where the Tweed forms the boundary, plus the two neighbouring parishes of Foulden and Mordington.

  • The College and Canons of St Stephen's, Westminster, 1348
    The College and Canons of St Stephen’s, Westminster, 1348 - 1548 Volume I of II Elizabeth Biggs PhD University of York History October 2016 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the college founded by Edward III in his principal palace of Westminster in 1348 and dissolved by Edward VI in 1548 in order to examine issues of royal patronage, the relationships of the Church to the Crown, and institutional networks across the later Middle Ages. As no internal archive survives from St Stephen’s College, this thesis depends on comparison with and reconstruction from royal records and the archives of other institutions, including those of its sister college, St George’s, Windsor. In so doing, it has two main aims: to place St Stephen’s College back into its place at the heart of Westminster’s political, religious and administrative life; and to develop a method for institutional history that is concerned more with connections than solely with the internal workings of a single institution. As there has been no full scholarly study of St Stephen’s College, this thesis provides a complete institutional history of the college from foundation to dissolution before turning to thematic consideration of its place in royal administration, music and worship, and the manor of Westminster. The circumstances and processes surrounding its foundation are compared with other such colleges to understand the multiple agencies that formed St Stephen’s, including that of the canons themselves. Kings and their relatives used St Stephen’s for their private worship and as a site of visible royal piety.

  • The Bass Rock
    The Bass Rock. OAviO J l««,oi~, AT lf<<.M fJXA\ ^^ fiSli - t —____ k« . CHAPTER I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. HE rocky islands that dot the shores of the Forth have been picturesquely described by Sir Walter Scott in " Marmion " as " emeralds chased in gold." They have also been described as " bleak islets." Both these seemingly contradictory descriptions are true according as the sky is bright and sunny or, as so often happens in our northern climate, cloudy and1 overcast. Of these islands those known as the greater *' emeralds " are Inchkeith, Inchcolme, May Island, and the Bass. The lesser " emeralds " being Cramond, Inch- garvie, Fidra, Eyebroughty, and Craig Leith. Over nearly all these islands there clings a halo of romance and legend. With Inchkeith we associate a gallant chieftain, of the name of Keith, who in one of the« invasions of the Danes slew their leader, and received the island as a reward from a grateful King. 4 THE BASS ROCK. Inchcolme takes us back to the time of the Britons when the Druids are said to have here practised the mysteries of their religion. It was here, too, that David I., having sought refuge in a storm, was enter- tained by the hermit, and afterwards in gratitude founded a monastery, the ruins of which form at the present day a picturesque feature of the island. The May Island in early Christian times was dedi- cated to religious uses, and here a colony of monks under the saintly Adrian were massacred by the Danes. The beautifully shaped Fidra has also its historical associations, having had a monastic establishment in con- nection with the Abbey at North Berwick, and also a castle called Tarbert, which at one time belonged to the Lauders of the Bass.

  • A History of the English Parish: the Culture of Religion from Augustine to Victoria N
    Cambridge University Press 0521633486 - A History of the English Parish: The Culture of Religion from Augustine to Victoria N. J. G. Pounds Frontmatter More information A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PARISH Most writings on church history have been concerned mainly with church hierarchy, and with theology, liturgy and canon law. This book looks at the church ‘from below’, from the lowest stratum of its organisation – the parish – in which the church build- ing is seen as the parishioners’ handiwork and as a reflection of local popular culture. The book discusses in turn the origin and development of the system of precisely defined parishes, their function – in terms of economics and personnel – and the church fabric which embodied the aspirations of parishioners, who saw the church more as an expression of their cultural and social hopes than as the embodiment of their faith. The book ends with the failure of the parish to meet all its obligations – social, governmental and religious – from the late eighteenth century onwards. The book emphasises throughout that the parish had a dual function, secular and religious, becoming both the lowest level in the administrative structure of this country, and a unit for spiritual and pastoral care. These functions became increas- ingly incompatible, although the book ends on the brink of the final breakdown in the nineteenth century. N. J. G. POUNDS is University Professor Emeritus of History and Geography, Indiana University and Honorary Fellow of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. Born in Bath in , Professor Pounds has had a long and prolific teaching and writing career. His many publications include the three-volume An Historical Geography of Europe (, , ), which has been revised and rewritten as a single-volume, general survey under the same title (), The Medieval Castle in England and Wales (, paperback ) and The Culture of the English People: Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution ().

  • The Technology of Medieval Sheep Farming: Some Evidence from Crawley, Hampshire, 1208–1349
    medieval sheep farming The technology of medieval sheep farming: some evidence from Crawley, Hampshire, 1208–1349 by Mark Page Abstract Sheep farming was a profitable business for the bishops of Winchester before the Black Death. Evidence from the manor of Crawley demonstrates that investment in the management of the flock peaked in the early fourteenth century. Elsewhere on the estate, improvements in the provision of sires, housing, feeding, medicaments and the labour supply have been shown to impact favourably upon fertility and mortality rates. However, this was not the case at Crawley. Instead, this paper confirms Stone’s view that productivity was determined by conscious decisions taken by demesne managers and argues that their concern in this period was to raise fleece weights. The pessimism which for so long pervaded historical writing about the performance of medieval agriculture has now almost entirely evaporated to be replaced by a much greater appreciation of its achievements. In particular, the ability of medieval farmers to feed a population of about six million in England at the beginning of the fourteenth century, of which perhaps 15 or even 20 per cent lived in towns, has been acknowledged to be an impressive demonstration of the effectiveness of agricultural production and distribution at this time.1 This more optimistic assessment of English agriculture in the century or so before the Black Death of 1348–9 has come about largely as a result of a sustained assault upon the influential ideas of M. M. Postan. The ‘Postan Thesis’,

  • Berwickshire Parishes Along the Anglo-Scottish Border As Described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books
    ‘hence the name’: Berwickshire parishes along the Anglo-Scottish Border as described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books Eila Williamson University of Glasgow More than 1,800 of the Ordnance Survey’s Original Object Name Books exist for the whole of Scotland, albeit with some gaps.1 These books date from 1845 to 1878 and detail notes made by surveyors – both personnel of the Royal Engineers and civilian assistants – as they recorded the orthography and descriptions of the place-names that were to feature on the Ordnance Survey Six Inch First Edition maps. The Name Books provide a rich source of information about nineteenth-century society and its perception and understanding of place-names. In recent years the value of this source has been increasingly recognised and has resulted in a large-scale crowdsourcing transcription project to mount transcriptions of all of the entries contained within the Name Books, along with images of the original pages, on the ScotlandsPlaces website.2 The system of Name Books was not unique to Scotland but had developed from previous Ordnance Survey work in England and Ireland.3 Evidence of embryonic forms of what would later become the method used in the Name Books has been cited for Lincolnshire and Hull, while the earliest surviving example of printed sheets (each with four columns), which were bound together to form a book, can be dated to c.1839 in Doncaster.4 This paper presents a study of the Ordnance Survey’s work in five Berwickshire parishes 1 The Ordnance Survey has deposited the original manuscript volumes in the National Records of Scotland, Edinburgh (shelfmark OS1).

  • 17-01348-FUL Lamberton# , Item 2. PDF 504
    SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL PLANNING AND BUILDING STANDARDS COMMITTEE 26 MARCH 2018 APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION ITEM: REFERENCE NUMBER: 17/01348/FUL OFFICER: Paul Duncan WARD: East Berwickshire PROPOSAL: Erection of 2 No wind turbines 11.8m high to tip SITE: Land South West Of 6 Lamberton Holding, Lamberton APPLICANT: Mr William Mykura AGENT: None SITE DESCRIPTION The proposed site lies west of existing agricultural sheds on the prominent ridge between Mordington and Lamberton which forms the skyline looking west from the A1 at Lamberton. The site itself is located up a farm track from No 5 Lamberton Holdings and is not prominent from the public realm, being located over 400m from Lamberton (Whale’s Jaw), where the nearest dwellinghouses and public roads sit and from which the site is not visible. On the Mordington side of the ridge, the nearest public road is over 1km from the site. Three dwellinghouses sit at around 800m to the west of the site in the Mordington area. The site is most visible from a public footpath which runs to the south of the site at a distance of roughly 100m. Notable existing features in the immediate landscape include the existing agricultural buildings which are finished in grey corrugated iron and timber cladding to a height of around 6-7m. An existing radio mast of around 10m in height is sited amongst these buildings. The development site is within an adjoining field to the west which is currently used for grazing. Other features in the surrounding landscape visible from the ridge area include further telecoms masts, overhead lines and poles, and a single micro-scale turbine at Moor Side to the north of the proposed site.
