. Half and quarter blood. Widely extended, but most
at home in London.
ROLLIN (ROLAND?). Half-blood. Chiefly about London.
SCAMP. Chiefly in Kent. A small clan. Mr. Borrow derives this name
from the Sanskrit Ksump, to go. I trust that it has not a more recent
and purely English derivation.
SHAW.
SMALL (A). Found in West England, chiefly in Somerset and Devonshire.
STANLEY (A). One of the most extended clans, but said to be chiefly
found in Devonshire. They sometimes call themselves in joke Beshalay,
that is, Sit-Down, from the word _stan_, suggesting standing up in
connection with lay. Also Bangor, or Baromescre, that is, Stone (stan)
people. Thus "Stony-lea" was probably their first name. Also called
Kashtengrees, Woodmen, from the New Forest.
TAYLOR. A clan described as _diddikai_, or half-bloods. Chiefly in
London. This clan should be the only one known as _Chokamengro_.
TURNER.
WALKER. Half-blood. Travel about Surrey.
WELLS (A). Half-blood. Somerset.
WHARTON. WORTON. I have only met the Whartons in America.
WHEELER. Pure and half-blood. Battersea.
