      My Mother grew up in Harriman Tn in the 1940-55, She moved to the Los Angeles area when she was 15 to live with an older sister. She talked a lot about Harriman when I was growing up. She still received a Harriman Newspaper for years! She was a member of the Lane/Mills family

      @christophertipton2318 2 года назад

      @@mrkitcatt2119 I think it was a place name of some origin, possibly Norman French. The village of Tipton is named in the Domesday Book, so it pre-dates any heavy industrial land usage. The description indicates agricultural usage at the time of the compilation of the Domesday, a very typical land use for the time. I don't have access to my copy of the Domesday Book right now so I can't give specifics.

    The paternal side of my family hails from Georgia. Some of the surnames in my lineage include: Anderson; Banks; Nix; Yarborough; Maxwell; Higginbotham; and others. (I know from family history that our Banks ancestors were living in Virginia during the colonial period, moving later through NC and then to GA. Many of my Banks ancestors had very large families, as did the Andersons, both of whom are numerous in GA to this day. Quite a few of the descendants have moved around to other parts of America in recent years as well. )

But on paper only have gotten to my 5th ggf John Cox.. Pittsylvania County Virginia. A Cox Y DNA match has traced his line to Eastern TN.. perhaps a brother of my ancestor.

    How are you doing dr Barry iam very happy to watch your channel . As always iam gathering main points you mentioned briefly here it’s actually there are red surnamed is derived from old English word “ read “ means “red” mostly likely name was used as nickname for someone with red hair before becoming surnames. Possibly name is local from red color redhead land or rock or soil . There are such spots called in for far shire and Orkney. There are some red head names means such as Annie is little orphan Annie , bluey Australian nickname for red head . Irish names means red caere means fiery, Clancy means red haired warrior, Corcoran means ruddy- faced .

      In Scotland, even the lairds lacked cash in the 17th century. Septs were allied families of larger highland clans. Highland society was poor and focused on agriculture, but the clans existed outside of feudalism, so they were as poor as a peasant, but they did not owe their existence to a laird (lord).
