. To discover the origin of the -Whar-

land, where the , name Wharton is
1given to_ certain townships where the
frace of Whartons originated. It was
1111 lVestmoreland that Richard Whar-
>t0n. the founder of the Philadelphia

‘lfamily of the namerwas born in 1661. -

Philadelphia, where he married Rachel

. The coat-of-arms of the family here
. shown is simply this: Sable, a
Maunch or. That is,
w1th_a sleeve of gold. The crest is
described thus: A bull’s head, erased,
argent, attired or. -
The coat—of—arms 'borne by Walter
Wharton, who was surveyor of the
three lower counties on the Delaware
in 1671, is somewhat different, though
it, too, shows the interesting heraldic
emblem of the maunch, or sleeve. It
Is described thus: Sable a maunch,
argent, on a border, or, eight pairs of
lions gam-bs, saltire ways, erased

Just how it came about that the
VVhartons assumed as their heraldic
emblem the maunch, or sleeve, is one
. of the things that is lost in the mist
of the unrecorded past. However, 'it

frmorial bearing because of the cus—

To J. W. 1)., who asks for the origin
of the Dennis family.

Even the novice in genealogy would
be able to tell that the‘surname Den—
nis was derived from the first name
of Dennis, which, becauSe is was early
, borne by the patron saint of France.
‘ has always been popular in that coun-
try. Still that is not the last word
on the origin of the family name of
Dennis. Although one branch of the
family probably does derive the name
in this way,.there'is little doubt of
the fact 'thatAin some cases the name
was derived from the Anglo—Saxon
- word Denisca, which meant Danish, So
these early Dennises were of Danish"
origin and took the name that indi—
cated that fact. -

The family was founded in
country by one Robert Dennis
.Porthmouth and Newport, R, I.

It is
‘ not known from what part of England
- nor when he came, but it is known
, that he bought land in Portsmouth in
1691. By his wife, Sarah, Howland,
daughter of one of the proprietors of
Duxbury, he had the following chi1+
dren: Mary, ,who married one George
Lawton;_Robert, Who married Susan—
nah Briggs: Sarah, who married
Thom Fish; John. who .married Ann
‘ Brayton, and Joseph, Who married
Sarah Durfee. From these children of
. the first settler, Robert, are descended
‘ a large number of those who bear the
name in many states. .‘ -

There was also a Thomas Dennis who
came to.th1s country in the fleet of
John Winthrop. and later removed to
y, Jersey; ‘where he established a
,; distingmshedgfamily of the name. It
‘ is supposed-that this settler,-’.Ro.bert. .of

to, “Honneur sans repos,” and still an-
about the Day family which, says W.

D., was probably originally O’Day and'

came from England to this country.
While I am' unable to find any trace

of the tradition that the Days in this

country were originally O'Days, I find

that several of the Days did come to .
this country from England in the sev—,
,‘enteenth century.

There was a Ralph Day who was
born in England and ‘settled in Wed—
ham. His son, John, lived in Wren-
tham, Mass, and was a soldier in
King Philip’s war. His descendants are

 

found in parts of New England as well
as in \Vashington,‘ D, C.

country with his wife, Mary Stebbins,

the settlement of Hartford, Conn. His

ment erected in that city in honor of
the first settlers. His descendants are
a to be found in many states, one branch
being as far South as New Orleans.
This Robert Day bore the following

Although it seems likely that Day is

one, of the many names taken in honor
of the Scotch patron, Saint David, there
is a tradition that the first of the Eng-
