HEATH FAMILY.
An explanation of how the name Heath came to be used
as a surname.
In choosing the words to be used as names we can not
(hscover any carefully wrought plan. Chance and human
fancy ha\e i)layed their part. The word to be choisen was
usually the suggestion of some fact connected with the birth
of the person to be named — time, place, circumstance, some
physical quality, or some fond hope of strength, bravery, or
goodness entertained. In fact there is hardly an event,
national, local, or personal; hardly a place or feature of a
place: hardly a beast or bird or fish or tree or stream; hardly
a point of the compass, occupation, or profession; hardl}- a
physical or mental characteristic ; hardly a hobby that man has
rode or a blunder that he has made that has not lent itself to
the naming of some man. In early times one name was all
that was necessary and in general is all that we find — David.
Confucius, Plato, Cleopatra. Out of the more complex social
and business relations grew the necessity for some system of
naming which should be more satisfactory. For a time quali-
fying the descriptive phrases were used as : John the Baptist.
Peter the Hermit, John the Cook, William of Kent, John of
the Heath, etc. Out of this ]3ractice and out of these phrases,
by abbreviation, have grown our surnames.
At first these additional words, like the personal name,
passed aA\ay with the lives of their owners. But gradually
these titles became part of their owner's personal property,
and so passed on to their descendants, along with other pos-
sessions. Bardsley says : '• Nor were those second desiena-
tions, those wliicli we call sunianics as Ixiing" superadded to
Christian names, at first of any lasting character, it was not
till tlie eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, or even the fourteenth
centurv that they hecanie hereditary, that is. in any true sense
stationary/'
Heath comes under the classification of local surnames.
By local surnames we mean surnames which tell us something
of places or directions; where a person lives, some feature of
the landscape ahout his home, or the place or direction troni
whence he came. These names, we are told, were the tirst to
become hereditary.
The following explanation of the origin of tlie Heath
name as a surname is found in the " lives of Isaac Heath and
John Bowles," two church deacons of Roxbury, Alass. ; Heath,
a pure Saxon word, the name of a plant or shrub of the genius,
erica, of many species soon came to signify a place overgrown
with heath, and finally has a more general signihcation, mean-
ing a place overgrown with shrubs of any kind. The most
N-eneralMe record of England, the Doomsday Ijook, proves
that it was very early used to designate indixiduals or fami-
lies who may have lived on a heath, and in time, as surnames
came into use to distinguish families, and became hereditary.
Heath was attached to some by accident of their locality, and
thus by its origin must be classified with local surnames. The
same circumstance gave rise to the name in different localities,
and thus affords no evidence of any consanguinity at a remote
period. Heath is a very common surname in England.
I. \\'ii.ij\M Heath of Nazing, England, came to this
country from London, arrixing on the ship " Lion " Septem-
ber i6th. 1632. with his wife ^lary and five children. He

Aaron was taken prisoner three times in the Revolution-
ary war. The last time while acting the part of a scout, and
would then surely have lost his life had he not played the fool
and made them believe that he was insane. When told to
hitch the oxen to a cart he insisted on hitching them with their
heads facing the cart. This, with other such maneuvers on
his part made them feel that he was not worth his keeping and
so they let him go.
His war record, which follow^s, was taken from " Massa-
chusetts Sailors and Soldiers of the Revolutionary War,"
