The
HORNBUCKLE Families of Nottinghamshire & Leicestershire
The family name
is explained as being related to Arbuckle in Lanarkshire,
Scotland. The modern distribution of the name, even based on
2000-2005 data (map below), shows a clear East Midlands origin
which does not really support this explanation. It could easily
have a trade derivation from horn buckle making for clothes,
unless a Scottish exiled family very well established by
Elizabethan times. The HORNBUCKLEs appear to have owned Radford
Hall at one time, according to records. The HORNBUCKLE name is
still connected with the East Midlands, with many American
families either descended from the Nottinghamshire settlers in
Virginia or the slaves that worked on their lands and took their
name. States include South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Oregon,
California, Arizona, Oklahoma, Missouri & Kentucky. A number
of present day HORNBUCKLEs are also descended from settlers in
C19th Victoria, Australia.
The original family is based
in and around West Bridgford, SE of the city of Nottingham, then
villages to the SE:
