BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

There is no doubt of the fact that
the name Scrip comes from the
surname Cripp or Grip and that this
comes from Crisp, meaning curly
haired. What happened first was
that an IS" was omitted and then
an IS" was added at the beginning
of the name instead of in the mid
die. Experts tell us that Cripp and
Cripps are metathetic forms of crisp,
curly headed. There was a Gilbert
le Crispe in the Hundred Rolls.
Chaucer uses Crisp as meaning cur
ly headed. One Of his lines runs:
"Crispe was his heer and eek ful
bright"
There Is some authority to think
that Crisp was sometimes used as a
shortenedk form of Crispin, a once
popular first name. However, the
fact that Gilbert le Crispe in the
Hundred Rolls had the name writ
ten with the article "le" shows that
the surname was regarded as an ad-
jectival one.
1t is supposed that the first tc

Scrip was Thomas Cripp. AS his
full name was pronounced the sur
name took on the final So from the
first name and so everyone came to
call him Scrip until he wrote the
name in that way II Is supposed
that this change took place in 1899,
The fact is that there was Thomas
Cripps living in Ely, England at that
time and that after 1882 his name
was written Scrip. His great grand
son was William Scrip, born in
Ely. England, in 1924. He was the
master builder who rebuilt the dome
and lantern Of Ely Cathedral be-
tween 1857 and 1852. He died in
London. His son william Scrip.
born In Ely. came to this country in
1871. He married a Miss Locke OF
the family to which the famous
philosopher John Locke belonged.
They founded the family in this
country, many representative Of
which are now located in Michigan.
