Clan Crozier

Clan Crozier (crosier, croser,  cros,  etc.)   is one of the border  reiving clans of Scotland, along with the Armstrongs, Elliots, and Nixons. Some sources cite the surname as a sept of the Armstrong clan, but the Scottish Parliament in 1587 identiﬁed the Croziers as a middle march clan.[1] An armigerous clan is a clan without a chief, and a sept is a clan which follows a chief. So an armigerous clan like Clan Armstrong, since it does not have a chief, does not have septs. Clan Crozier, not having a chief by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, is an armigerous clan allied with the far more populous Clan Armstrong.

1   Name evolution

Croyser, Croiser, Crosier, Crozier. Many of the earlier forms of the name were of Croyser or Crosier (of Cros), had a common English language switch of an “y” for an “i”. The name basically was Croyser then Croiser, which means cross; one who lives near or bears one.[2] Croyser or Crosier has Old French origins, of Ro- man Christianity the name Croyser, then Croiser has also Old Scottish inﬂuence evolved from the Old French of, Croice, Crois(e, n. Also: croyce, croys(e). [ME. croice, croyce, crois, croys, croyz (14–15th c.), OF. crois, croiz. Cf. Croce n.1] An earlier form of the word, which is croy for the Croyser name; Cro, Croy, n.1 Sc. and Ir. Gaelic cró fold, hut, Icel. kró sheepfold. Latinized as croa, croya (12th c.).[3] The meaning referring to hut, which developed the name Croyser is insigniﬁcant in most of England where the name is based on cross, but given the popularity of the name in Yorkshire (York Mayor John Croser 1447)[4] with variants in Sweden, it is felt by people of Scandi- navian origins migrating to what is now Scotland, likely applied the meaning of hut to Croyser that of hut builder. The Croziers came from Normandy in 1066 with William the Conqueror. Through the years, some moved north- ward to the southern areas of Scotland where they be- came established as a Border Clan. According to Scots Kith and Kin,[5] Clan Crozier was in Liddesdale in the 14th Century.[6] Example of Tyndale to Liddesdale-Treviotdale move- ment; Clemy and John Croser (Crosier-Crozier), English Tyndale Rebels resettled to Liddesdale-Teviotdale Scot- land with Clemy Croser, and Robyn (son of Rob of Red- heugh) Elwald, in 1540.[7] • William le Gros Earl of Yorkshire (Count of Au- male) died 1179 could easily be the inﬂuence of the Croyser of today’s border region being of York- shire. Name similarities exist between, Le Cros and Le Gros and today’s Crozier and Grozier sur- names. William le Gros, owned Scarborough Cas- tle. Borough means fort and is symbolized on the shield of Scarborough. Scarborough is of Anglo- Saxon origins, and people with the surname Scar- borough are known to be from Scarborough. The Y-DNA of the people named Scarborough was used to locate an entry point into the British Isles, of an Elfwald/Elwald.[8]  Name version of Crozier with a G; Grosar, Grosars, Grossars (RB Armstrong), Gros, and Grozier, which OCR (optical character recognition),  sometimes read the upper case C as a G, is questioned if the document is handwritten, that it may have been transcribed in the past with a C transcribed  as a G. William le Gros, Count of Aumale, was a powerful Anglo-Norman baron and grand-nephew of William the Conqueror.

Le Cros ﬂats (acres) part of Warden manor, about 6 km (4 mi) west of and within the region of Hexam (St An- drew) Priority, Northumberland.[9][10][11][12] In the Norman Barony surname naming procedures, the name is taken from locality, and today there is a Le Cros, France, which corresponds with surname density, loca- tion in Southern France, of Le Cros. Time of surname adoption, Le Cros (Le Gros) was likely change to Le Croyser in what is now England.

• William le Croyser 1264, recorded in Eynsham Cartulary, in the time of King Henry III,and was known The Frenchman, 1216 - 1272.[13]

• Henry Croiser (Croyser) 1266-1272 is detained in Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland prison, in killing Agnes of Hertrepol, in self-defence.[14] This is close to today’s Scottish Borders, and likely where the name Croyser/Croiser, migrated into what be- came Scotland in ca. 1320.

• Simon le Croyser April 1327, is recorded in Cal- endar of Close Rolls, Peterborough which is a larger community south of Crowland/Crowland Abbey as spelled Croyland.[15] • William Croyser of Bedfordshire and Buckingham County is listed in the Patent Rolls 1348-9.[16]

....the Elliots, called also Elwods, Elyards, and Elwalds, of the Alfords who came from near Croyland...[17] The Scot- tish name Croyser originated as a surname in the region of Bedford to Lincoln Counties, in reference to people which built huts.

There were also other forms of the name which became Crozier. Example: the name Crosar is quite common in Liddesdale and Treviotdale. Roughly; from Cros to Crosier with interchanging the “i” with the “s” the name Croiser, evolved to Crosier, then becoming Crozier, which means a Bishop’s crozier styled after the cane of a sheep herder tending the ﬂock. Basically the name is of Old French likely the name of a region in southern France of Le Cros with a strong inﬂuence of the Norman forename William. Evolved from Cros to Croyser, from meaning cross, to cross/hut builder. Then Croyser to Croiser (cross bearer) to Crosier (bishop’s sheppard’s cane bearer; crozier)  to  Crozier meaning crozier. The name went to Liddesdale, Scot- land as Croyser, then after that the changes from Croyser to Crosar (becomes Crosier/Crozier) took place in high Liddedale.

2   Name distribution

For the name Crozier a form of Crosier, one ﬁnds in Y- DNA studies[18] Family Tree DNA; Crozier and in the family origins surname distribution  maps that the name Crozier concentrates itself along the Scottish Border and Northern  Ireland.[19]  The counties in the British  Isles which have the highest frequency of the name Crozier are Roxburghshire, which contains, Liddesdale, in Scotland, and Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland.[20] There is a smaller dis- tribution, in southern England, and this could represent what became Crozier coming from France. It should be noted, of 13 Crozier tested Y-DNA, 11 are M-269, there are two of the unique R-CTS11874 a William Crozier, of Northern, Ireland and a John Crosier of Boston. There were other listed in the Family Tree SNP [21] one of each Kennedy, Loy, and Beckel (Germany). In Public Pro- ﬁler of World Names [22] Loy shows Germany-Yorkshire- Scotland-Northern Ireland, Kennedy shows Scotland and Northern Ireland, and Bickel shows Germany. With the locality of the Crozier, as being Border/Ulster Scots, this is indicative of Germanic-Danish Anglo migration. Though the name Crozier of Le Cros in southern France, and the name Eliot of Aliot in southern France, with William Le Gros (Gros like Cros mainly of S France[23]), and William  de Aliot[24]  linked to William  the Con- queror, in close proximity, in Liddesdale and Fermanagh, it can be concluded that these families are of basically of similar origins. Though surname acquisition has a French Norman inﬂuence, their Scottish, Scandinavian origins is more like their shared ally the Armstrong. 2.1  Cros Cross

Surname by; World Family Public Proﬁler, shows the Sur- name Cros, is more concentrated around, Le Cros in southern France, but when an “s” is added to make Cross the name distribution  is of England, not Scotland. Sim- ilar results are found with de Aliot, being of southern France, but when the “A” is changed to an “E” then the name becomes Eliot of England, but not of Scotland.[25] Cross DNA; Family Tree DNA, and World Family re- sults are showing a large proportion, but not being as large as for Crozier as being R1b-M269, Y-DNA.[26][27]

Shows R1b DNA distribution which R-M269 is a part of.

3   Historical distribution

It is found that the American family of Crozier descended from the Croyser Clan, found on the banks of the (upper) Liddel, in the Scottish borderlands[28] at Riccarton, and Hudshouse. In the sixteenth century the Crosars (Crozier) from up- per Liddesdale to Teviotdale, then onto Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland.

3.1  Riccarton

Locus Crozier; IDs valley of Liddesdale, by locus of Crozier.

In R. B. Armstrong’s History of Liddesdale, there is a record of a Locus Croyser, but the word locus means lo- cality, and is listed under Valleys of Liddesdale in 1376, 3.1  Riccarton                                                                                                                                                          3

giving the location of a valley of Liddesdale being where the people referred to as Croyser lived. Today this valley is believed to be called Riccarton Burn. The spelling in William Croyser and Simon le Croyser near Croyland, and in “locus Croyser” is consistent in the fourteenth century, which strongly shows that the name which originates in the Valley (locus/locality of a val- ley in Liddesdale in 1376 by where the Croyser are liv- ing) of the Croyser, originated in the Croyland  region. This valley now Riccarton Burn is where for Scottish- Irish Croyser (Crozier) surname adoption takes place. It is guarded by the tower of the Croziers, known as Riccar- ton Tower,[29][30] into Ellot, Elliot, and some cases Elliott. In the 14th century the name William (like William the Conqueror) Croyser, is found in Bedford, County, in an area not to far from Croyland. In the 13th Century the name Elwald (i.e. Elliot) is found in the region of Rye (Johannes (John) Elwold (Elwald)  de (of) Rya (Rye). ca1230[31]), near where the Battle of Hastings took place, and the Kerr which came to the borderland are said to be from Normany. So it is felt a seed carrying the name Croyser,  came to the Valley of the Croyser,  now Ric- carton Burn, in Liddesdale. Riccarton/Riccarton Mill (Rickerton, forms of Richardtown) second home of the Redheugh Ellot (Elliot) is near Larriston/Over&Nether Laristown.[32][33]

Riccarton, mistakenly Rakestonleis, but is Caddroun Tower.

Surname seeding is when a surname is brought into a region, and those without a surname adopt it. Among the Navajo Native Americans a missionary from the mid- west United States brought the Elliott name to the Navajo people. At the time of surname adoption a family of Navajos took on the surname Elliott. Now there is a line of Navajo Elliotts. Surnames, showing popularity in Yorkshire; Croyser and Elwald, though with many deviations which from these standard spellings (norm given the centuries), developed in today’s England near the beginning of the twelfth cen- tury, and were brought into the north, previous to the Declaration of Arbroath ca1320, where Croyser evolve into Croiser, Crosier, lastly Crozier, and Elwald evolved

Helcaldenburne is Caddroun Burn (Tower) where Rakestonleis is of William Crosier in 1590.

At time Robert Elwald received land of 1484 a William Gladstanis, are listed with the landholders, and John and Quinton Crosar,  are listed with  the witnesses. It is felt that in The Death of Parcy Reed Synopsis; Parcy Reed arrests the reiving outlaw Whinton Crosier[38], it is felt Whinton  is not a Crosier name, but the name is Quinton.[39] Robert Elwald (i.e. Elliot) is receiving lands of Redhuegh, Over(superior higher in elevation) and Nether(inferior  lower in elevation) on above map where both Larristons O&N,  are near Riccarton O&N. the Crosar/Croyser (Crozier) and the Elwald (Ellot) were close. Thorsliehope was land of the Elwald like Gorren- berry (next to Braidley) previous to Robert Elwald receiv- ing lands of Redheugh, Larriston, Hartsgarth and other. Jamie Telfer in The Fair Dodhead Telfer is sent to meet Martin Elliot, of Prickinhaugh, as shown on the Blaeu map as being near N&O Ricarrton,  and N&O Laris- ton. The Pedigree According to the Genealogy of 1704- 7 (previous to Stobs Castle ﬁre of 1712) ELLIOTS OF LARISTON ; Robert Elliot of Lariston, the 15th, had a feud with the Armstrongs. Married a daughter of Buc- cleuch. His next brother was Martin Elliot, of Prickin- haugh. The Crozier Hudshouse is in the vicinity of Slaughtree, home of a Margaret (Meg, Megg, Maggie) Kidd mis- tress to Redheugh (Robert 15) now of Larriston, which he builds a tower for her at Hartsgarth. Second son living in Larriston with his father Robert chief 15, is William then of Hartsgrath with his mother (rf sansine/deed). Next son Gilbert “Gib-bie of Golden Garters” is said to be born of a father of Larriston, and a mother of Buc- cluech (Kidd’s curse, Kidd’s wall). Though a Hob El- wode (i.e. Robert Elliott), lived and was taken in by his uncle Clemyt Crossier (i.e. Clement Crozier) of Sto- bbes (Stobs) became Clementis Hobs, Gavan Ellot was ﬁrst Ellot owner of Stobs, second husband to Gilbert’s mother, purchases Stobs for his grandson (ﬁrst son of Gilbert) William. Gilbert marrying Mary “Fendy” ﬁrst cousin to Buccleuch gave William the blood of a Buc- cleuch. This William (has ﬁrst son Sir Gilbert) changed his support to Buccleuch (King Charles II), then hung himself so the Cromwellian Parliamentarians, would not take his estate.[42] From this William,  to indicate loy- alty to the Royalist, and to diﬀerentiate  the name from the Parliamentarian, Sir John Elliot which died in the tower of London, the family of the Clan Elliot chief of Stobs/Redheugh spells their name Eliott.

Lariston tree of Redheugh, including Martin of Prickenhaugh, pre-Stobs ﬁre.

1586 Martin Elliot’s (intern Ellot clan chief) son Simon had a lease of land from Earl of Bothwell (Liddesdale, Braidlie). 1591 a Crown charter of Phillop in Selker- shire and Braidlie (Teviotdale). Martin was called “of” Braidley, indication ownership of land of Braidley, but living on the Braidley Bothwell Liddesdale lease Martin supplied soldiers to the bordering Hermitage Castle. Si- mon and Martin of Redheugh, built a tower of Pricken- haugh in the region of Robert of Redheugh, now living in Lariston N&O, and the Riccarton N&O Crozier.[40] It should be noted that a John Elwald who witness the sasine (deed) of Robert Elwald of Redheugh, likely was John Elwald of Thorlieshill, near Hudhouse of the Crosar (Crozier), witness a Scott deed in 1488.[41] Other words

In Ulster, Ireland the name Crozier (1659, Croser 1630) was introduced by settlers who arrived from England and Scotland, especially during the seventeenth century with strong associations with Counties Fermanagh and Armagh.[44] The Scottish, and other border people followed a sim- ilar path migration from The Liddel Water which is a 3.3  Treviotdale                                                                                                                                                       5

In Scotland, the names Armstrong, Elwald (Ellot), and Nixon, may have had there Scottish birth in the Debatable lands; the Croyser it is felt took more of a direct route northward bypassing the Debatable Lands. Along with the Crosar/Crozier, listed as witnesses are Grame/Grahams,  and Forstar/Foster/Forester. Though Elwald-Ellot (Elliot) of Redhuegh and Gorrenberry are listed, along with the son of Buccleuch, Cessford (Rox- burghe), and his brother, and other Kerr, a Wm Gledsta- nis, and a number of Elwald as witnesses. There are no Armstrongs, though Grahams, Foresters, and Armstrongs had towers along the Liddel. The Armstrong, and their allies, believe like indigenous
