PETULENGRO, or SMITH. The Romany name Petulengro means Master of the
Horseshoe; that is, Smith. The gypsy who made this list declared that he
had been acquainted with Jasper Petulengro, of Borrow's Lavengro, and
that he died near Norwich about sixty years ago. The Smiths are general
as travelers, but are chiefly to be found in the East of England.
PIKE. Berkshire.
PINFOLD, or PENFOLD. Half and quarter blood. Widely extended, but most
at home in London.
ROLLIN (ROLAND?). Half-blood. Chiefly about London.
SCAMP. Chiefly in Kent. A small clan. Mr. Borrow derives this name
from the Sanskrit Ksump, to go. I trust that it has not a more recent
and purely English derivation.
