NOTES AND QUERIES
Relating to the History of Dauphin County.
XXX.
THE "HOTCH . POTCH."-This is the name given the Morgenrothe, edited by Benjamin Mayer, by the Oracle of Dau- phin, edited by John Wyeth, in 1800. Editors were about as complimentary eighty-four years ago as now.
BOARD OF HEALTH .- The "Harrisburg Mechanical Society." Stacy Potts, presi- dent, organized in 1794, had for its prin-
cipal object, the regulation of the sanitary condition of the town. In March, 1795, it interested itself in furnishing the citi- zens with a constant supply of fire-wood, there being no dealers in that article at that time.
LYCAN .- Andrew Lycan must have left some property in Cumberland county in 1772, for we find that on the 19th of June that year his widow petitions the orplians' court there for permission to sell the same. By these records we find (his wife was Jane) that the children were :
i. John.
ii Susanna. iii. Rebecca. iv. Elizabeth. v. Mary.
vi. Margaret. m. William Buchanan.
Who was William Buchanan ? Was he the ancestor of the Buchanans of the Up- per Paxtang of years ago?

FORTUNE HUNTERS .- Genealogical re- search is always laudable and praise- worthy, and we are constantly requested to aid those who are anxious to preserve a record of their ancestors, which we cheerfully do; but occasionally we are called upon in behalf of parties who have heard that a fortune was in waiting for them in Europe, provided they could prove their descent. All of these are frauds-arrant frauds, and we have little or no patience with individ- uals who are deceiving hosts of worthy and honest people, by holding before them, delusive dreams of wealth. Prin- cipal among these deceptions relates to the descendants of Abraham Brosius, an early settler in Berks county, agents of whom have annoyed not only the writer of these notes, but every depart- ment at the State Capitol -even carrying their petty villainy so far as to mutilate some of the records in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Many of the members of the Brosius family, not only in this but in the Western States, have been severely bled by these arrant rogues, who hold up to their victims the delusions of great estates, only waiting for claimants. No wonder when those who are actuated by the honor.

able and motive
pious of se- curing and preserving the records of their ancestors, they are frequently met by the question, "is there any money in it ?"-and in some instances a positive refusal to communicate any information, fearing they might not come in for a share in the "unbounded wealth" legacies in a foreign land. The American people de- light in being humbugged, and that is the reason fraud and deception flourish. In fortune hunting humbuggery commend usfto the agents of the Brosius family. W. H. E.
THE BRETZ AND BOYER FAMILY .-. Several months ago we published some genealogical notes relating to the Bretz family of Upper Paxtang, the deseend - ants of Ludwig Bretz, an early settler in Lyken's Valley. The memoranda which follow refer to a different family :
JACOB BRETZ, senior, son of John Wen- del and Christiana Bretz, was born at Germantown, Pa., on the 22d of October, 1772. He died at Carlisle, Pa., in April, 1845, aged seventy-two years. He mar- ried, at Harrisburg, MARY ANN BOYER, born at Reading, Pa., in 1781, and who died at Harrisburg on the 28th of Feb- ruary, 1830. Both she and her husband are interred in the Harrisburg cemetery. Their children were Elizabeth, Mary, John, Lewis, Jacob, Joseph, Amelia, William, Catharine and George Ziegler, the latter a prominent citizen of Brook- lvn, N. Y. The grandfather of Mr. Bretz resided near Bethlehem, Pennsyl- vania, where he had located at an early period. During the Indian war, he was killed in his field by the savages and his wife in the house, while a son and daugh- ter were taken captive. The latter mar- ried an Indian and remained among the red men; the former, after seven years captivity was returned to Philadelphia with other prisoners, and sent to Reading. Here Mr. Boyer married and lived to a ripe old age. He left four children:
i. John Valentine.
ii. Catharine; m. Andrew Kepner. iii. Elizabeth; m. George Ziegler. iv. Mary Ann; m. Jacob Bretz.
The descendants of three of the chil- dren arc citizens of our county, and this episode in the life of their common an-
cestor, may prove as interesting to them, as to other readers of Notes and Queries. W. H. E.
ORIGIN OF SOME NAMES .- The study of men's names is as curious as it is inter- esting. Arbitrary as they seem to-day, they all had their source evidently in some fitting fact Many English sur- names express the county, estate or resi- denee of their original bearers-as Bur- goyne, from Burgundy; Cornell or Corn- wallis, from Cornwall; Fleming, from Flanders; Gaskin and Gascoyne, from Gascony; Hanway from Hanault; Polaek, from Poland; Wesh, Walsh and Wallis, from Wales; Coombs, Compton, Clayton, Sutton, Preston, from towns in the county of Sussex, England. Camden, the antiquary, says every village in Nor- mandy has surnamed some English fam- ily. Dale, Forest, Hill, Wood, and the like, are derived from the character or situation of those who first bore the names. The prefix "atte," or "at," soft- ened to "a" or "an," has helped to form a number of names. Thus, if a man lived on a moor, he would call himself Atte- moor or Atmoor; if near a gate, Attegate or Agate.
John atte the Oaks was in due time short- ened into John Noaks ; Peter at the Seven Oaks into Peter Snooks. Byfield, Byford, Underhill and Underwood, indicated resi- dence originally. In old English, "ap- plegarth" meant orchard-whence Apple- gate and Appleton ; "chase," a forest ; "clive," a cliff ; "clough," a ravine ; "cobb," a harbor-whence these names. The root of the ubiquitous Smith is the Anglo-Saxon "smitan," to smite. It was applied primarily to blacksmiths, wheelwrights, carpenters, masons, and smiters or strikers in general. Baker, Taylor, Butler, Coleman, (coalman), Draper, Cowper, (cooper), Cutler, Mil- ler and the rest, plainly denote oeenpa- tions. Latimer is from "latiner," a writer of Latin ; Lorimer is a maker of spurs and bridle-bits ; Arkwright, a maker of chests ; Lander, contraeted from "lavan- dier," a washerman; Banister, the keepcr- of a bath; Kidder, a huskster, Wait, a minstrel; Crocker, a potter. Such names as Baxter and Bagster arc the feminine of "baker," Webster of "webber," or

"wcaver"-which shows that these tra les were first followed by women, and that when men began to take them up they for some timc kept the feminine names. Steward, Stewart, or Stuart, Abbot, Knight, Lord, Bishop, Prior, Chamber- lain, Falconer, Leggett, (legatc, ) either signified what the persons so styled were, or they were given them in ?est or in derision-like the names King, Prinee,
and Pope. The termination "ward" indicates a keeper-as Durward, door- keeper; Hayward, keeper of the town cattle ; Woodward, forest-keeper. Read, Reed, Reid, is an old form of spell- ing "red," and was bestuwed-as White, Brown, and Black were-to denote the color worn or the complexion had. Ilo. garth, from the Dutch, means generous, high-natured; Rush is subtle; Browne, ready; Bonner, kind, gracious; Eldridge, wild, ghastly. Many Welsh names, nat- uralized in English, are from personal traits, as More, great ; Duft, black; Vaughan, little; Lane, slender; Mole, bald ; Gough, red. Surnames now apparently meaningless had meaning in old English and provincidl dialects. Brock, for in- stanee, signifies badger; Talbot, mastiff ; Todd, fox; Culver, pigeon; Henshaw. young heron; Coke, cook.
