INDEX

[3537] Lancelin is probably son of Landry, Sire de Beaugency (d. ca. 1000). The town is SW of Orleans in the department of Loiret "at the foot of vine-clad hills on the right bank of the Loire, crossed by a bridge of 26 arches dating in part from the 13th century. The lords of Beaugency were powerful from the 11th to the 13th centuries, when the fief was sold to the crown...." {-Encycl.

INDEX

[34259] Margaret is daughter of Roger Porter (b. ca. 1520 in Lancashire, England). Ancestry.com offers: "Porter Name Meaning - English and Scottish: occupational name for the gatekeeper of a walled town or city, or the doorkeeper of a great house, castle, or monastery, from Middle English porter 'doorkeeper', 'gatekeeper' (Old French portier). The office often came with accommodation, lands, and other privileges for the bearer, and in some cases was hereditary, especially in the case of a royal castle. As an American surname, this has absorbed cognates and equivalents in other European languages, for example German Pförtner (see Fortner) and North German Poertner. English: occupational name for a man who carried loads for a living, especially one who used his own muscle power rather than a beast of burden or a wheeled vehicle. This sense is from Old French porteo(u)r (Late Latin portator, from portare 'to carry or convey'). Dutch: occupational name from Middle Dutch portere 'doorkeeper'. Compare 1. Dutch: status name for a freeman (burgher) of a seaport, Middle Dutch portere, modern Dutch poorter."
