“The Geneal Geologist” |
CreativeGraces.net 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 US-published book “Hornbuckles in America” suggests the name has origins
with Anglo-Saxon traders and that a HORNBUCKLE participated in the First Crusade.
The HORNBUCKLE crest, incorrectly associated with many families, is thought
to represent wisdom and integrity, possibly someone in trusted higher office.
There is little in the public record to support this reported early history. The HORNBUCKLEs
appear to have owned Radford Hall at one time, per records. The HORNBUCKLE
name is still connected with the East Midlands, with most 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
(where the family married into the Cherokee tribe), Georgia, Alabama, Oregon,
California, Arizona, Oklahoma, Missouri & Kentucky. Several 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: The head of the
