Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogical Notes of the Chamberlaine Family of Maryland: Eastern Shore, and of the Following Connected Families; Neale-Lloyd, Tilghman Robins, Hollyday-Hammond-Dyer, Hughes-Stockton, Hayward, Nicols-Goldsborough, and Others This family, represented in Cheshire, Buckinghamshire, Glonceslershire, Great Britain, and in America on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, claims descent from the Count de Tankerville, of Tancarville Castle in Normandy, who came to England with William the Conqueror in 1056. It is not on record that any member of this family was personally engaged in the Battle of Hastings, or ever took an active part in the service of the King of England, but when Saint Bernard preached the Second Crusade, in 1100, the name in descent from Count Tankerville, and the old castle, now in ruins, was legion, and it should be enough for anyone, carried along under the genesis, with the spirit of enterprise, steadiness and thrift symbolized in the crest, to know that that the Battle Roll Abbey List has soldiers more than one of this name and family. John, son of the Count de Tankerville, was Lord Chamberlain to Henry 1st of England in 1125, and Richard, son of John, held the same office under King Stephen, and at one time that of Mayor of London. "The English took to themselves surnames, but not generally among the common people, till after Edward 1st. So John, Count de Tankerville of Normandy, beeing made Chamberlain to the King about 400 years ago, his descendants of Sherborn Castle in Oxfordshire (now in 1755 belonging to the Karl of Macclesfield, lately extinct), of Prestbury, of Mangersbury, and Oddington in Gloucestershire, Cheshire, etc., from whom the author of this book is descended, bear the same coat of arms by the name of Chamberlaine.- From "Magna Brittanika Nolilia." by John Chamberlain Richard, son of John de Tankerville, from his position in the royal household, assumed the patronymic of Chamberlaine, retaining the Tankerville arms. A descendant of Richard Chamberlaine took the Earl of Leicester prisoner, for which act he had permission from the King to quarter the arms of Leicester with those of Tankerville, and from that time they are to be interpreted together. The crest, an ass' head, indicates in the art of heraldry honest, dogged perseverance, and true worthiness, characteristic of founder and first of the name and the. motto, "Stabborn in the Light," a very suitable one for a family whose firmness amounts to obstinacy.
