DWELLEY The surname Dwelley is a contraction of the ancient English or Norman family name De Welle. It is quite likely that the name has been radically changed by some de- scendants by dropping the particle de (of) and making the name Will, Willey, Welle and Welling. We find also a family of de Wellyoge in county Norfolk, England, and a family of de Welling. A family of Welley dwells in Houghton, Durham county, Eng- land. The present English branch bearing

the coat of arms spells the name De Well, De Welle or De Will. There is but one crest for this family: On a mount vert a horse courant ar bridged sa. The coat of arms: Ar two palets gu. each charged with five bezants, is substantially the same in all the branches. One family has ar two palets gu. on each four bezants in pale. The coats of arms indi- cate that this family is of the same origin. The name is not common, and its very rare- ness is an indication that the American im- migrant is from the English stock bearing arms described above.
