HOLBROOK.
The name of Holbrooke is ancient and distinguished ; and in the English world it has long since attained a wide range. It does not however occur in Doom's Book or Rheimer's Fodera, yet as early as the reign of Richard II, one of the name was ad- vanced to the order of Knighthood, and " a chev. between three martlets assigned as his coat of arms. Others with equal claims to distinction, or averse to the monopoly, either attained to the same honor or assumed the badge of having done so : for in books of Heraldry I find the name of Holbrooke distinguished by nine other coats of arms, viz., Holbroake Gu. a chev. betw. ten crosses crosslet gu .. - Holbrokes. Or. a fess. between six crosslets, gu. - Holbrook (Suffolk) Ar. a chev., betw. ten crosses erosslet, gu. - Holbrooke, the same arms. Crest . - A lion pass. guard, tail extended ppr .- Holbrook. Or a chev. between ten crosses crosslet gu .- Holbrooke (Newington, Co. Kent). Az. a cross, or fretty of the first between four mullets of the second .- Holbrooke (Suffolk) Or. a chev. gu., surmounted with a cross formee fitchee at the foot of the second. Crest-A lion's head erased, charged with a chev. or, as in the arms .- Holbrooke (Suffolk) Or, crusily gu. a bend of the second .- Holbrooke (Suffolk) Ar. a chev. between three crosses crosslet gu." These badges of vanity, so little esteemed by the Puritans and their republican descendants, have their use in a historical point of view, as indicating the original and early seats of the race, and may guide some future explorer of the ancestry of our Holbrooks in the mother country where they must have been men of character and consideration. Of the origin of the name I find nothing. Camden does not mention it, though common in his day. This omission may be accounted for, if it was so obviously of local origin as to be included with names of this class : and imagination suggests that in a former age of belief in holy waters, there was some Holy Brooke from which the name was borrowed, the tradition of which might have lingered in his day. But I would not originate a tradition. Too long have the Holbrooks fol- lowed this jack-o'-lantern, believing, like other races, in their descent from three brothers, a story suggested, it has been thought, by nothing better, if so good, than the following analogy. Shem, Ham, and Japheth were religious men, so were our ancestors ; they came from an old world to a new one, and came by water, so did our fathers ; there was just three of them that came, from whom the human race have descended ; therefore there was the sacred orthodox number of three from Old to New Eng., from whom each race of a common name have sprung. But the stale tradition that formerly concealed ignorance now exposes it; and the Holbrooks, better posted than some other races, may now correct legends of their ancestry ; and on truthful history found their claim to a more respectable origin than false tradition has attempted to give.
