. 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.
