"William de Neelfa was a fugitive for slaying him." The name occurs
also as Bracheor, and Broshear.

Breckinridge, John C. Breckinridge, and W. C. P. Breckinridge were
descended on the maternal side from the Cabells--a famous Norman
family. Vide Cabell. The Breckinridge family is directly of Scottish
origin. The foregoing derivation rests upon the authority of the
English genealogist, Doctor Henry Barber. But no American family has
ever given more varied and striking illustrations of the power of
inherited Norman blood. Scarcely a characteristic trait is lacking.

Braiose, near Argenton, Normandy. Branches in Ireland, Wales, Suffold,

Normandy, temp. Philip Augustus. The name of Bernetôt in Normandy at
length changed to Bernadotte--the name of one of Napoleon's marshals.
Hence, the royal family of Sweden. Carew Isaac Taylor remarked
at Newcastle in 1889 that the royal families of Europe were of
Scandinavian origin. But for the Norman derivation of the Bernadottes,
here explained, the royal family of Sweden might have appeared to be
an exception.
_Brook_, for Broke. (Lower.) Brooks, for Brock; Brookes, for Broke.
(Lower.)
_Brosee._ Brúsi, Brozi (old Norse). Brosee, now pronounced Brozee.
William Brosee, the progenitor of the family in Kentucky, was a

is a portrait of the old campaigner in his French uniform.
_Broughton_, a branch of Vernon; "Broeton," Stafford, Thirteenth
Century. The arms concur with the descent from Vernon.
_Brown._ Vide Browne.
_Brown._ Gilbert le Brun, Normandy, 1180. The name Brunus or Le Brun
frequently occurs in Normandy, 1180-98. Many Normans were Brun, or
Browne; but, in England, all Brownes were not Norman. The line of
Hanno le Brun, Cheshire, temp. Henry II, is armorially connected
with an Irish line. William Brone witnessed the charter of Dunbrody,
1178; Nigel le Brun had a writ of military summons, 1309, and Fremond
Bruyn was one of the barons of Ireland, 1315-17. Richard de la Ferte
accompanied Robert of Normandy to Palestine in 1096. He had eight
sons, the youngest of whom, surnamed Le Brun, settled in Cumberland,
where he had baronial grants, temp. Henry I. The family of De la
Ferte, also called Le Brun, long flourished in Cumberland. The name Le
Brun gradually changed to Broyne, Brown, and Browne. Robert le Browne,
M. P. for Cumberland, 1317-1339, was grandfather of Robert, from whom
descended the Viscounts Montague, the Marquises of Sligo, and the
Barons Kilmaine.

Tankervilles, Chamberlains of Normandy. Vide Chamberlain.

the Eleventh Century. Hence the Kings of Scotland, the Earls of Elgin,
the Baronets Bruce.
_Brudenell_, or De Bretignolles, from Bretignolles near Alençon,
Normandy. William de Bretignolles, in 1263, had a writ of summons
to attend with his military array at Oxford. From this family
descended Sire Robert Brudenell, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas,
1520. The orthographic modifications of this Norman patronymic (from
Bretignolles to Bredenell, to Bredenhill, and Brudenel) are clearly
traceable upon the records.
_Bruen_, armorially identified with Bruin, with Brun, Le Brun, or
Browne, of Cheshire.
_Brunes_, for Brun, now Brown.

_Brus._ Vide Bruce.

Brionne and the Earls of Clare and Hertford, descended from Gilbert,
Count of Brionne, son of Richard I of Normandy. Wido Brionne of the
Welsh line had a military court of summons, 1259. About this time
the name was changed to Bryan, and the Barons of Bryan inherited it.
William Jennings Bryan seems to have been, prenatally, a Kentuckian.

for the Presidency.
_Burr._ Robert, Roger, and Peter Burre occur in Normandy, 1180.
Gilbert le Bor, England, 1227. Aaron Burr was a conspicuous and
dramatic figure in the early history of Kentucky. Professor Shaler,
the eminent Harvard professor, writing of Aaron Burr's expeditionary
project, says that the Kentuckians "had inherited the spirit of the
Elizabethan English"; and that the mass of the Kentucky people were
always "filibusterish." There is not a decade in their history--he
adds--that we do not find some evidence of this motive, to wit, "a
natural hunger for adventure."

Walter, the first butler of Ireland, to whom that dignity and vast
estates were granted by Henry II. The Butlers bore the arms of De
Glanville, a family of Glanville, near Caen.
_Butler._ A name of peculiar distinction in the heraldic genealogies.
The Butler or De Glanville family derives its name from Theobald
Balton, temp. Henry II. The name has lost none of its distinction in
the New World. The Butlers of Kentucky are thoroughly Anglo-Norman in
their fighting instincts. All the male members (5) of this branch were
officers in the Revolution; all their sons but one were in the War of
1812; nine Butlers of this branch were in the War with Mexico; and
in the Civil War every male descendant of Captain Pierce Butler (of
Kentucky) was in the Confederate Army (vide Historic Families).

Butt. Vide Butts, Boot.
_Butter._ Earls of Larnsborough, descended from Hugo Pincerna, who,

Chester; (4) the Butlers of Bramfield, and others.

married, temp. Henry IV, the daughter and heiress of Colwick of Notts;
and from him descended Lord Byron, the poet.
_Cabban_, or Cadban, from Cabanne or Chabannes in Perigord.
Bartholomew Caban of Berkes, living 1322.
_Cabbell._ Walter Cabel is on record as having witnessed a charter
in Wiltshire, in the Eleventh Century. This Walter Cabel came over
with the Conqueror. The Normans used the word _caballus_, instead of
_equus_, for horse. It was so used in Domesday Book, and it seems
certain, says Doctor Brown, that the family derived its surname from
that word. Hence, also, _caballero_. Doctor Brown gives at least
forty-six different ways of spelling the name. Geoffrey Cabell owned
land in Caux, Normandy, in 1180. The Cabells of Virginia are descended
from the Cabells of France, in Somersetshire. In 1726 we find Doctor
William Cabell in St. James Parish, Henrico, then deputy sheriff
to Captain John Redford, High Sheriff of Henrico (Shire-Reeve),
officially the first man in the county.
In June, 1785, "Polly" Cabel was married to John Breckinridge.
The records show that Mary H. Cabell and John Breckinridge had issue:
(1) Letitia Preston.
(2) Joseph Cabell.
(3) Mary H. (died in infancy).
(4) Robert H.
(5) Mary Ann.

as 1812, Doctor John Poage Campbell, of Kentucky, in a series of
"Letters to a Gentleman at the Bar" (Colonel Joseph Hamilton Daveiss),
gave a striking illustration of the high quality of his scholarship in
his anticipation of Sir Benjamin Brodie and Professor Tyndall of our
day in the detection of the germinal ideas from which the Darwinian
theory of evolution is derived (vide Green's Historic Families). An
interesting illustration of the intellectual life of the pioneer
period in Kentucky.
