Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lives of Isaac Heath, and John Bowles, Elders of the Church, and Principal Founders of the Grammar School in Roxbury: And of Rev. John Eliot, Jr., Preacher to the Indians, and First Pastor of the Church in Newton Heath, a pure Saxon word, the name of a plant or shrub of the genus erica, of many species, soon came to signify a place overgrown with heath, and finally has a more general signification meaning a place overgrown with shrubs of any kind. The most venerable record of England, the Doomsday book, proves that it was very early used to designate individuals or families who may have lived on a heath, and in time, as sur-names came into use to distinguish families, and became hereditary, Heath was attached to some, by the accident of their locality, and thus by its origin must be classed with local sur-names. As heaths must have been pretty common in England a thousand years ago, it is presumed that the same circumstances would give the name to individuals in various parts of the country, and it thus affords no evidence of any consanguinity at a remote period.
