CROMWELL OF HARRISON. "The family of the PROTECTOR, which arose in Wales, and was deemed illustrious by the genealogists of the principality, bore the surname of CROMWELL, by assumption only, its patronimic, WILLIAMS, having been abandoned at the special desire of King Henry VIII. "That monarch," saith Noble, " strongly recommended to the Welsh, (whom he in- corporated with the English,) to adopt the mode of most civilized nations, in taking family names, instead of their manner of adding their father's, and per- haps grandfather's name, to their own Christian one, nap, or ap, between the Christian and surname, as Morgan ap Williams, or Richard ap Morgan ap Wil- liams, that is, Richard the son of Morgan, the son of Williams; and the King was the more anxious as it was found so inconvenient in identifying persons in judicial matters. Richard's father seems to have taken the name of Wil- liams for his family name ; but as the surname of Williams was of so late a standing, his Majesty recommended it to Sir Richard to use that of Cromwell in honor of his relation, the EARL OF ESSEX, whose present greatness en- tirely obliterated his former meanness."a The several branches of the Crom- well family in America claim descent from the same parent stock as that of the PROTECTOR OLIVER CROMWELL. It is presumed that the ancestor of the American line was Col. John Cromwell, third son of Sir Oliver, and a brother of the PROTECTOR. John, a colonel in the royal army, mar. Abigail --. He had a da. Joan and a son John, who emigrated from Holland to the New Netherlands. John, son of Col. John, resided at Long Neck, West- chester. He mar. Mary -- , and left two sons, John, from whom the present Oliver Cromwell and Jeremiah of West Farms are descended, and James. The latter was b. 1696, and d. 1780 ; he mar. Esther Godfrey, and left, I. John, of Harrison, b. 5th December, 1727, d. 1805, mar. Anna Hop- kins of L. I. she was b. January 12, 1730. Il. - Cromwell. III. James, who left Oliver. IV.
