BARTHOLOMEW This surname was de- rived from the ancient Hebrew or Syriac per- sonal name Bartholmai, modified in Greek and Roman spelling. Like the other names of Christ's Apostles, Bartholomew came into use as a baptismal name in every Christian coun- try, even before the use of surnames.

The Bartholomew family in England ap- pears to date back to the origin of the use of surnames. The ancient coat-of-arms: Argent a chevron engrailed between three lions ram- pant sable. One branch of the family bears this: Or three goats heads erased sable. Crest : A demi-goat argent gorged with a chaplet of laurel vert.

John, Robert and Richard Bartholomew were living about 1550, in Warborough, Ox- fordshire, England. Robert and Richard were brothers, and from the fact that John's son was an overseer of Richard's will, it is inferred that John was a brother also. They were land- owners, church wardens, and men of conse- quence in the community. They frequently used the term, "alias Martyn," after Bartholo- mew, presumably having adopted the name of a maternal ancestor, as was frequently the

case, to secure an inheritance. Oliver Crom- well's name is given in early records alias Williams, his paternal ancestors being of the Williams family.
