One branch went to Sussex. one settled at field, and one came to America. It is not known just when Nathaniel came over. But ha is mentioned as property holder at Scituate, Mass, in the first official records of the place, dated 1928; the record is sale by Henry Merritt to Nathaniel Tilden "of all that land which I had of Goodman Byrd lying within the fence at the north end of the third clIffe, unto the land of Ma, thaniel Tilden."

Bancroft Family

Bancroft may be a name derived from bane or baynes, meaning white. or fair. and croft. an Anglo-Saxon word for a small enclosed field.
 In some parts of Scotland. and the Orkney and S. ietland isles, crofters are small holders of land The term Is now almost wholly confined to the western highlands.
 Bancroft may mean a small. white field. as Ashcroft means a close where ash trees grow. and AllCroft or Hall croft an enclosure by the hall Croft Is common termination of surnames. About the only variations of Bancroft are Bancraft and Bancreaft
 We have no records of any of the family crossing the channel from France. To boasts made of the an tiquity of prominent families and that their ancestors came over with the Conqueror. John Bright. most sarcas- tic of men where the nobility was con cerned. used to reply promptly. T never heard that they did anything else. We. however. are not going back on the Conqueror's knights be- cause the Bancroft name Is not on Battle abbey roll. The family Is doubtless of Anglo-Saxon origin. They hourtshed in Lancashire, where Rich ard Bancroft. archbishop of Canter- 5ury. or primate of England, was born. in 1544 He was chief oyer seer. as he was called. of the author ized version of the Bible. published lG12
