Ralph de Scoville" is the first Scoville now of known record in the world. He appears of unques- tionable record first in 1194, then in 1215 and in 1227. It is now unlikely that any earlier mention of a Scoville is findable. It is even more unlikely that an earlier Scoville record ever will be found. The only important and reliable and official records of England, between 1066 and 1194, still existing, are the Domesday Book and the Great Rolls of the Pipe. Neither of these contain the name of Scoville. The Domesday Book is not complete for all parts of Eng- land; and the Pipe Rolls are not in any way to be considered as containing a general list of the inhab- itants, the Domesday Book likewise. The Pipe Rolls for the years 1170, 1175, 1176, 1177, contain the name of one ''William Escorcheveille " (also written Escorceville). His surname is similar to Scoville; but the Pipe Rolls were so carefully written, as a national record of great importance, and so free from errors that we are unable to accept this name as hav- ing applied to a Scoville, without further evidence.*
