Cromwell of Harrison. — "The family of the Protector, which arose in 

 Wales, and was deemed illustrious by the genealogists of the principality, bore 

 the surname of Ceomweix, by assumption only, itspatronimic, Williams, having 

 been abandoned at the special desire of Kinf/ Ihnry VIII. "That monarch," 

 saith Noble, "strongly recommended to the Welsh, (whom he incorporated with 

 the English,) to adopt the mode of most civilized nations, in taking family 

 names, instead of their manner of adding their father's, and perhaps grandfather's 

 name, to their own Christian one, nap, or ap, between the Christian and surname, 

 as Morgan ap Williams, or Richard ap Morgan ap Williams, that is, Richard the 

 the son of Morgan, the son of Williams ; and the King was the more anxious as 

 it was found so inconvenient in identifying persons in judicial matters. Richard's 

 father seems to have taken the name of Williams for his family name ; bul 

 surname of Williams was of so late a standing, his Majesty recommended it to 

 Sir Richard to use that of Cromwell in honor of his relation, the Earl of ! 

 whose present greatness entirely obliterated his former meanness. "« The e I 



branches of the Cromwell family in America claim descent from the same parent 

 stock as that of the Protector Olives Cromwell. It is presumed that the 

 ancestors of the American line was Col. John Cromwell, third son of Sir Oliver,
