Usher

The Noble Tribe of Usher, represented here by Lord Jeffrey, Seneschal of Usher, migrated here from the old German provinces of Pomerania and Bavaria. These two related but, distinct Families are represented here. The name Usher arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is a name for a door keeper to a king. Further research showed the name was derived from the Old French word l'ussier, meaning the door keeper. This job held considerable status, as it entailed knowing the rank and status of all those who would enter the King's chambers.
