many of those who knew how TO write
could not spell. it is easy TO see how
n name might be spelled in many
different ways Take. for instance.
Sewel. Scwcll, Sewall, ShewelI-ail
from the old personal name Sewallis.
Sitton is another such name. 1t was
probably first Seton. An old manu-
script genealogy in the English Seton
family says that King Malcolm Con-
more. OF Scotland. gave names TO ms
mobiles and gentlemen. To the pro-
Gcnitor of this family he gave the
name Seton because he held land in
town near the sea.
The first recorded man Of the name
was Dousal de Seton. who lived ri
the reign Of Alexander l of Scotland.
Their are no arms for Sitton as Seton
was the original form. Burke 5
hera!dry gives twenty-nine coats OF
arms for Seton. William Seton. OF
New York. who landed there in l75S
from Fifeshire bore the fo!lowiS

Sutton is usually an independent
form. 1t comes from the Anglo-SaXon

were more than sixty parishes so
named in England. and Burke gives
over fifty coats-of-arms for this SUIT

who indicated the name Grove by a

the actual derivation of the name nor
very subtle sense of humor, the
fact remains that the coat OF arms is
ancient and is hallowed by long usage
1t was used by the Grove family in
Llantherne, County Carmarthen, in
Wales, at an early date and was al

1886. 1t was also used by Sir Sack

One of the early members Of this
family in this country was John Crow,
of Char,cstown, Massachusetts. He
became one of the largest land
holders of Connecticut, whittier he
moved. and was the recipient of many
colonial honoTs. His wife was Eliza
beth Goldwin, n daughter of a large
landhoIder. They had many child
ren. They were: John jr., who set
tied in Fairfield, and died unmar-
ried: Daniel who lived in East Hart
ford; Nathaniel; Samuel who married
Hannah Lewis; Esther who married
Giles Hamlin; Hannah who married
Thomas Dickinson; Mchitable who
married Samuel Portridge: Elizabeth;
Mary who married Noah Coleman,
Sarah who married Daniel White;
Ruth who married William Gaylord
and Anna.
Another early settler of the name
was Christopher Crow who married
Mary Burr, of Hartford, Connecticut
in 1856. Christopher has Samuel who
married Martha Moses, Mary, Han

STREET CAR STRIKE IN CHATTANOOGA IS
 STILL UNCERTAIN

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 27.-The out come of the pending street car strike here is decidedly problematica1, but it can be said authoritatively that there will be no decision tomorrow. Negotiations have not yet been broken off, according to International Treasurer Orr, who has the matter in charge for the employees Orrs appeal to the labor committee of the council of national defense, of which Samuel Gompers is the chairman, to in- tervene, was the outstanding feature of the days incidents. Mayor Littleton and business interests are endeavoring to pre- vent break, and it is possible that the local committee of public safety will in- tervene if all other efforts fail, this action being discussed. It is said that if the railway employees should strike it would probably be necessary for the govern ment to take charge of the line which runs to the training camp at Fort Ogle- thorpe.
