EECOED OF THE DKIVER FAMILY IN EUROPE.


GENEALOGY OF THE DRIVER FAMILY. THE DRIVER FAMILY
IN EUROPE, THE first mention of the name of Driver is found in the "
Hundred Rolls " of England, compiled in the reign of Edward I.,
which is a record of those who owned lands there in the time of the
Conqueror, for which lands some paid rent, some paid sheep, some
paid hens, and some paid service as a soldier. These rolls, begun on
Oct. 11, 1274, are written in antique abbreviated Norman-French
Latin. The translation of those portions belonging to this family have
been rendered by Dr. Stephen William Driver (No. 114), as found in
Book II. of the Rolls, p. 426, and are as follows : — " Alice le
Driveress holds one messuage [liouse-lot and adjoining lands], which
contains'one rod and fifty acres of land, and returns each year seven
pence [tax] during the seventh year of Edw. I. reign [1279]." There
is some doubt about the number of acres in the above account
expressed in the original text by " di," — dimidlum meaning in some
places, in some books, like tlie Domesday, fifty acres ; and in other
places, and in other books, one half acre. The heading of the
division where this account appears, reads : — " Inquisitions taken
on behalf of our Lord the King in the county of Cambridge in the
seventh year of the reign of King Edward First. " Gunilda Driver
holds^ twenty-three acres of farming land and one half acre of
meadow; she pays for the farm of the ville [small settlement] 16.?/*.
7d. [that is the right to make what she can in collecting the revenues
due the king]." —Hundred Rollsy p. 44. " Parish of Godesford. — The
Prior of Okebum holds the settlement of Okebum by gift of Allen
Driver, who gave it to them [the Prior and Monks of Okebum] in free
alms [a form of tenure under which the Church held most of its
lands], and it is worth £lO per year. The Prior has both the franchise
and the view of frankpledge, as appears by charter of our Lord the
King." — /6iV/., p. 696.
4 THE DRIVER FAMILY IN EUROPE. The next mention
found of the name appears in the "Parliamentary Writs," thus : —
"John Le Driver, Manucaptor of Hugo Wake, Knight of the shire
returned for Northampton, 1811." And again : — "Richard Le Driver
pressed to serve as afoot-soldier in Gascony, 1311. Deserts, etc. The
Shcrrif of the County of Essex is commanded to take him into
custody. Writ tested at Westminster, July 13, 1311." And again : — "
Robert Le Driver, manucaptor of Thomas Burgess, returned for
Dorchester,.34 Edw. L (1316)." A "manucaptor," according to an
ancient work called "The Interpreter, or Booke containing the
Signification on Words," by John Covell, London, 1607, — " From
mainprise, signifieth, in our common lawe, the taking or receiving a
man into friendly custody that otherwise is or might bee committed
to the mcrcie of the prison, upon securitie given for his forth
comming at a day assigned." Hence, a person empowered to take
bail and capture a person who forfeits it. Gascony, an old province in
the South of France, came into possession of the dukes of Guienne
in 1054, with which province its history was from that time
identified. Guienne, called also Aquitania, included Gascony. In 1152
it came into the possession of England, but in 1272 it was
reconquered by the French ; but at the peace of 1303 it was again
ceded to the English, with whom it remained till 1451. Hence the
need of pressing men to serve as footsoldiers. The prefix to
surnames of De and Le was brought into use by the early Normans,
who assisted in the conquest of England, who on returning to
Normandy gave their awarded lands to their sons to go over and
settle on them. Younger sons, hoping to find in them an elder
brother's portion, eagerly took their new possessions, using their
father's name, taken by them from either the territory from whence
they came, or from some pursuit or occupation, — De for the
territory, and Le for the occupation. These prefixes were not
discarded till about the reign of Henry VI., 1422, when the names
were left as now. The name of Driver appears in the History of
Berkeley Hundred, Vol. III. p. 63, Gloucester, England, thus : —
THE DRIVER FAMILY IN EUROPE. 5 " Bradston lands, now
Dryvers, late Thomas Lord Wentworth ; by deed Thomas son of
Thomas, late Lord Berkeley, granted in 2 Edward III. (1329), to
Thomas de Bradston and Isabel his wife, and to his heirs, all his
mesne, with all lands and pastures thereto belonging]; which Isabel
de Wike sometimes held in Arlingham, to be held of the chief Lord
by the services accustomed, which by the record of Rotulus
Clousarum, 48 Edw. III. (1370), Mem* 6, are there said to be a third
part of the manor of Arlingham. And these are now the inheritance
of John Driver, son of Gyles Dryver, second son of Robert Dryver, and
which the said John of late purchased of his cozen Gyles Dryver, son
and heir of Thomas Dryver, eldest son of the said Robert Dryver, who
purchased the same of , but not held to contain, as much by as
much as the said record of 43 Edw. III. doth make them. ... In this
Parish of Arlingham are divers lands and tenements commonly called
Wall's lands, formerly owned by William Wall, whose son left them to
Walter Wall, who died 24th of Henry VIII. (1533), who left them to
Richard Wall, who died 2d of Edw. VI. ; holden of this Lord Berkeley
by suit to his Hundred Court of Berkeley for three weeks to three
weeks, and are now the several inheritances of John Driver, by his
wife, after 83d. Elizabeth (1571), and twenty-two other persons.
These retain the name of Wall's lands, though now in the hands of
several freeholders." — Berkeley Hundred, Vol. III. p. 64. ** Wike,
or Wyke, consisted of two parishes united, which, from the names of
the several possessors, were called Wyke-Dyve and Wyke-Hamon.
By the intiiiisition taken in the reign of Henry IH. (1216), William de
Dyve, son of Gay or Wido de Dyve, co. Oxon, 1204, was found to die
seized of the Manor of Wike, which was held of the Earl of Warwick
by the service of one Knight's fee. His successor was John de Dyve,
his son, who was slain at Evesham, co. Wore, in 1266, whose wife
was Isabel de Wike. In the 9th. 3'ear of Edw. I. (1281), Henry de
Dyve was found to have held it of the King in capite ; and in the
eleventh year of the same reign, the Crown presented to the rectory
