Firstly let me wish everybody a Happy New Ihe Swnatt~ <strong>Plant</strong> and rts vat rants - Art&<br />
Year and best wishes for <strong>2003</strong> Perhaps all propared for The lianm’y &tory Monthly<br />
those ‘mlssmg ancestors wdi turn up this Magazm (note - this artrcle IS on the Web-<br />
YKlF Sl%t?)<br />
Smce the last JO”Id we have five new<br />
members and let me weleeme them to the<br />
GTOUP There mterests are reviewed<br />
elsewhere m thts JOURld<br />
One of the areas that has been of partmular<br />
help with the new members has been the early<br />
years of the GRO Index I have hsted all the<br />
brrths recorded between the years 1837 tv<br />
1850 and have now commenced workmg on<br />
the marriages for the same permd Others are<br />
working on different periods (see The Coordmator,<br />
Phdlp <strong>Plant</strong>’s, report), but what we<br />
need now are mole volunteers As the<br />
mformatlon IS collated It wdl be made<br />
avadable to members of the <strong>Group</strong> through the<br />
Web-Site or, for those v&hout computers, by<br />
direct request to Phlhp (Member NQ. 168) or<br />
myself Progress on the project wdl be<br />
reported m each JOUd<br />
Apart from the five new members, enqmnes<br />
about the <strong>Group</strong> have been received from at<br />
least tlmty other people So the potentml for<br />
new members IS stall there<br />
Whdst talkmg about the GRQ m&x one<br />
should not forget that, for the period pre 1872,<br />
a number of bxths were not registered If the<br />
bnth that you are lookmg for appears to be<br />
mssmg, don’t @ve up - maybe It IS m the<br />
Pansh Registers or Bishops Transcripts<br />
Another avenue to mvestlgate IS the MI’s, a lot<br />
(wtamly as far as Cbeshlre is concerned)<br />
havmg been catalogued and Indexed At least<br />
this mformatmn may mdmate the year m<br />
which the ‘missmg’ ancestor was b;om The<br />
problem of mlssmg entrIes 1s not as prevalent<br />
in marriages - most people considered it a<br />
legal requirement for manages to be recorded<br />
-births not so much though<br />
Due to space hrmtatlons It was not possible to<br />
mclude a number on Intended features m tlus<br />

No. 201 Mr Ronnie <strong>Plant</strong> - Leek, Staffs<br />
NEW MEMBERS<br />
Ronme Jolned the <strong>Group</strong> Just as the last ~ouma1 was gomg to press and his researches up to that tune<br />
had been somewhat bmlted Howe.ver, wth the ;Ild of the <strong>Group</strong> he has progressed considerably and<br />
therefore 1~111 re-mtroduce him, as d were<br />
Pnor to Joming the <strong>Group</strong> the only mformatlon known was that his grandfather, Mark <strong>Plant</strong> who came<br />
from Dudley Staffs, was born m 1892 and had two brothers, Joe and Charhe<br />
In wew ofRonnIe’s connectton with South Staffs, the South Staffs Brigade was alerted and between us<br />
(The Bngade, Ronme hlmself and me) we have ‘pushed’ his famdy tirther back<br />
It was a comparatweiy simple exewse to find the GRO Index for the buth of Mark m 1892 and m due<br />
course Ronme obtamed a copy of Mark’s buth certdicate from the O&e of Natmnal Statlstlcs,<br />
Southport This certtficate confirmed that Mark was the son of Joseph and Hamet <strong>Plant</strong> and born at<br />
Rowley Regis Hamet’s matden name was not clear but It looked bke Jakes<br />
The next step was to by and find the mamage of Joseph <strong>Plant</strong> and Hamet Jakes? pre 1892 The 1881<br />
Census dtd not Include any Josephs m Rowley Regis to tit the necessary crlterla Nor could a Hanlet<br />
Jakes of the right age be found So - let’s look at the GRO Index between 1881 and 1890 At first 1<br />
thougl;t 1 had struck gold<br />
The December 1881 Quarter contamed Hamet Jukes, regwtratlon drstnct - Dudley, Vol , 6c page 61<br />
In the same quarter was Joseph <strong>Plant</strong>, same registration dlstrlct and volume number but page 47<br />
Mxtake by the recording clerk? Pamcularly as there was no other mamages of Joseph <strong>Plant</strong> and<br />
Hamet Jukes m the GRO 1881 to 1890 or wth spellmg varlatmn of Jukes, I e , Jacques, Jakes or<br />
Juckes However the references to Joseph and Hamet drew a blank Hamet Jukes was not mamed to<br />
Joseph <strong>Plant</strong> on p61 or p47 -back to stage one<br />
MeanwhIle The South Staffs Bngade had been at work and from the 1901 census found<br />
Joseph <strong>Plant</strong> 37 coal mmor of Dudley Port, TIpton<br />
Wtfe Hamet 37 born Netherton, WOKS<br />
Son Charles 15 Iron worker bom Old Htll Staffs<br />
Son Joseph 13 Pipeworker born Old HIII Staffs<br />
Dau Sophta 11 born Old Hdl Staffs<br />
Son Mark 8 born Old Hdl Staffs<br />
Son BenJamm 6 born Netherton Worcs<br />
Obwously Ronme’s ancestors<br />
So now on to the 1881 Census to find Joseph age 17/18 Yes, located m Tlpton and showing<br />
Mary <strong>Plant</strong> head wldow45 born West Bromwch<br />
Joseph<strong>Plant</strong> son U 18 born West Bromwich<br />
Charles <strong>Plant</strong> son U 15 born West Bromwich<br />
James<strong>Plant</strong> son U 14 born West Bromwch<br />
Now we have Joseph born 1X62/3<br />
A study of the GRO gave a total of seven powblhtles<br />
The buth certificate for second on the ltst, March 1863 quarter, reglstratlon dlstnct, Wolstanton,<br />
showed a Joseph <strong>Plant</strong> born December 1862 m Sneyd Green, Burslem to James and Mary Ann <strong>Plant</strong><br />
wth James’s occupatton as a potter The only thing that womes me IS the discrepancy between the<br />
1881 Census which says Joseph was born West Bromwch whereas, the afore mentioned cemticate<br />
says Joseph born Burslem Maybe the famdy moved south from Burslem to Tlpton, West Bromwch<br />
to find work m the ran works that were bemg developed m West Bromwch at that tone<br />
13
I would suggest that the next step would be the 1871 Census for Burslem and/or TIpton, West<br />
Bmmwlch to find Joseph, age 9, the son of James and Mary Ann <strong>Plant</strong><br />
I have mcluded tbts somewhat protracted account as an example of how the <strong>Group</strong> can help Its<br />
members<br />
No. 202 - Mrs Audrey Hunt _ High Wycome, Bucks<br />
Vta the Web Site and usmg the How to Jam page I recetved an apphcation to JO~ the <strong>Group</strong> Tom<br />
Audrey<br />
Audrey 1s a comparatwe new comer to famdy hlstory Her great grandmother was Emmelme <strong>Plant</strong><br />
baptised 1844 at Castle Church Stafford Emmelme’s father was Wdlmm <strong>Plant</strong> who was a fanner m<br />
1844 and a pubhcan m 1869 Emmelme’s mother was Ann <strong>Plant</strong> (nee Wnght) hvmg m the Cannock<br />
area at the tune of Emmelme’s ba-th<br />
The <strong>Group</strong>’s copy of the GRO Index of <strong>Plant</strong> births ldentltied Emmelmo’s brrth regrstratlon and also<br />
the mamage of Emmelme’s parents, Wdbam and Ann Wright<br />
No. 203 -Mrs Shirley Goodall - Burton-on-Trent, Staffs<br />
The Web Site was agam responsible for a new member when m August ShlrleyJomed the <strong>Group</strong><br />
She 1s descended from the <strong>Plant</strong> family of Leicester, notably Wllham <strong>Plant</strong> born 1836 m Appleby<br />
Magna<br />
Wtlham was mamed in 1859 at Norton Juxta to Cathenne Wardle Although Catherme’s father 1s<br />
stated on the cemticate, Wdham 1s not-maybe he was tllegltunate Even though the certificate gwes<br />
Wdltam’s wife’s surname as Wardle, subsequent cemficates for the bnth of their chddren show her<br />
malden name as Hardle<br />
The 1881 Census finds W~lham and Catherme, together with thetr chddren, John, Wdham and Henry,<br />
bvmg m Aosty, Wawckshlre Herbert was born in Lttteworth, Ashby de la Zouch m 1873<br />
It 1s worth notmg at this stage that Appleby Magna IS 10 nules south west of Ashby de la Zouch, which<br />
would probably be the Regwtratlon Dlstnct for chddren born at Appleby Magna The <strong>Group</strong>’s copy of<br />
the GRO Index for <strong>Plant</strong> births 1837 to 1850 contams the following references to Ashby de la Zouch<br />

It would therefore appear that there were a number of <strong>Plant</strong> famthes tn the area and posstbly the above<br />
reference could contam siblings of Wdbam born 1836 and throw some hght on Wdbam’s father It<br />
has been suggested to Shuley that she should mvestlgate thts posslbdlty, inmally usmg the PR and our<br />
BT to tdentlfy any possible slblmgs and then obtainmg the appropriate certificate<br />

There are also a number of references to Burton-on-Trent rn the records By 1901 Wdliam was shown<br />
on the census age 65 lwmg in Burton-on-Trent and born at Appleby Magna<br />
No. 204 -Mrs Marion Szezemiak - Alexandria, USA<br />
In June of last year I received an e-mail from Manon requestmg informatIon on the <strong>Plant</strong> Famdy<br />
HIstory <strong>Group</strong> Her great great grandmother was Sarah <strong>Plant</strong> from Dudley, WOKS., and her famdy<br />
bved at Ecclesballl, Staffs.<br />
Once agam the South Staffs Bngade were alerted and subsequently Manon confirmed that her great<br />
grandmother, Sarah <strong>Plant</strong>, was born 1846/7 eventually manymg Charles Rankm at St Thomas Church,<br />
Dudley. Sarah’s father’s name was James <strong>Plant</strong> mamed to Sarah (surname unknown)<br />
Manon also panted out m our correspondence that her grandmother was always telling people that she.<br />
was descended from French Royalty This royalty connection 1s sometbmg that occurs qute regularly<br />
m the <strong>Plant</strong> family folklore - perhaps we. m different than most other famlies Dr John <strong>Plant</strong>, as you<br />
know, has examined these posslbdities in previous ~oumals<br />
Wltb tbis additional information, the South Staffs Brigade really went to work. From their records<br />
Donan Greenbaum (member no. 179) was almost posltwe that Saab was the daughter of James <strong>Plant</strong><br />
and Sarah Jewkins who married at Dudley on 28 February 1825 Sarah was baptised 22 March 1846 at<br />
St Thomas, Dudley and was Iwing m Dudley at the tone of the 1851 census. She was the ninth or ten<br />
chlldren and Donan found detads of all ten children<br />
Note. The GRO Index for Sarah Ann’s brtb is in the Dudley Registmtlon D&K%, 1’ Qtr. 1846 Vol.<br />
XVIII, ~277<br />
The patents of Sarah Arm were James <strong>Plant</strong> and his second wfe, Sarah Wardley Davies of Church<br />
Street, Dudley which IS where Manon grew up James <strong>Plant</strong> and Sarah Wardley Davies maned on 11<br />
September 1843.<br />
Accordmg to Manon, the family appears to have originated from the Old Swynford area She IS<br />
currently tmcmg a John <strong>Plant</strong>t (Jr.) and Margarett Shaw connection.<br />

2.5 2 A MEDIEVAL BACKGROUND TO THE PLANT NAMk<br />
2.5.2.1 An ancient herbal tradition<br />
estem botany has tts ortgms m Greece, where two methods seem to have been used for the<br />
w study of plants3 One, whrch may be called the theorettcal method, was maugurated by Artstotle<br />
(384-322~~) Accordmg to htm evety hvmg thmg has soul, whtch exerctscs sptntual control<br />
over all vttal functtons The other way was emptrtcal study of the practtcal purposes of plants and<br />
such knowledge found tts way mto the Corpus Htppoc/cltfcwn datmg from the 5th century BC An<br />
early herbal, whtch ts attnbuted to Theophratus (370.~S~BC), combmes both thts theorettcal and<br />
the emptncal approach<br />
The healing, nutrtttve, augmentattve, and generattve powers of plants may he at the heart of<br />
medteval meamngs to <strong>Plant</strong>-lake names (Chapters 23 and 24) Stght should not be lost of the old<br />
theorettcal approaches, mvolvmg the Lord’s tmplantmg of sptrttual hfe, when trytng to understand<br />
the ortgmal sense to these names Our vtston should not be clouded by modem theorettcal precepts,<br />
or by too much of a preoccupatton wtth gardemng Even the most garden-hke name <strong>Plant</strong>etose<br />
may have been related not to gardening or (from a) rose-garden so much as to an ‘tmplant(er) of<br />
spmts whtch form healmg powers, as tt should be borne m mmd that the heahng powers of the<br />
rose were beheved to be many It can be added that healmg powers had regal assoctattons for the<br />
Merovmgtans<br />
25.2.2 A Merovingian backdrbp to such a name as <strong>Plant</strong>eveleu<br />
T<br />
he lute of Judah ts descrtbed at some length m the Btble as the Lotd’s chenshed plant or vme<br />
(Istah 5 7). Jesus later proclatmed ‘? am the ttue vme” (John 15 I) Thts has been clanned by<br />
some to form the basts of a vme of descent of the Merovmgtan kmgs and then offsprmg, some of<br />
whom allegedly bore the name Planfard as has been pubhshed tn recent ttmes as a controverstal<br />
Razes genealogy Thts controverstal genealogy mcludes Bernard <strong>Plant</strong>eveleu (Bemhardus <strong>Plant</strong>apt-<br />
10s) though a more conventtonal genealogy for htm ts shown m Ftgure 25 1<br />
We may constder a contentton that “Merovmgtan ttmes” may have been rn ~onze way relevant to<br />
the ongms of <strong>Plant</strong>-lake names Indeed, accordtng to the European ICI4 and other sources5 of lmnted<br />
reltabthty fat such early tnnes, the <strong>Plant</strong>-lake name <strong>Plant</strong>ard descended from the Merovmgtan ktng<br />
Dagobert II (651-79) and Gtselle de Razes (653-76), God-daughter of Saint Wtlfred of York and<br />
grand-daughter of Tulca (d 642). kmg of the Vrstgoths<br />
More stnctly, there appears (so far) to be no zmpcccable known hneage of descent from the<br />
Merovmgtans We can expect that there were many Merovmgtan descendants howevet, as the<br />
Merovmgtans Indulged a weakness for paramours that shocked the Church J.M.Wallace-Hadull<br />
surmtses that thts may represent an ancient usage of polygamy m a royal famtly whtch was a fatmly<br />
of such rank that tts blood could be netther ennobled or dtluted by any match Royal bastards were<br />
never at a dtscount because they were bastards The fortuna of the dynasty, though not the rnrs~n<br />

the mvocatton of the Merovmgtan royal name and the vtrttts restdmg m tt He evtdently beheved<br />

A<br />
ccordmg to a book by John Sletgh (1862) It, the name <strong>Plant</strong> 1s.qqued to be corr~cptedfiona<br />
P[nnmgenet This indtcates, at least, that there wds behef m the 19th centuty that <strong>Plant</strong>agenet<br />
had mlluenced the sense of the <strong>Plant</strong> name Before that, one might speculate as to whether the name<br />
<strong>Plant</strong> formed m 13th century ttmes amongst auxtltaty duttes to the “<strong>Plant</strong>agenets” or whether, hke<br />
the <strong>Plant</strong>agenets, the <strong>Plant</strong>s came to east Cheshtre from France An earher Chapter (Chapter 19)<br />
descrtbed proxtmtttes between the frst known English <strong>Plant</strong>-hke names and the Warrens (<strong>Plant</strong>agenets)<br />
though tt should be added that extant medteval evtdence IS scant for medteval usage of the<br />
<strong>Plant</strong>agenet name<br />
There IS considerable mterest m possible descent from the “<strong>Plant</strong>agenets”‘* wtth many relatmg<br />
themselves to mtxed male and female hnes descendmg through the relattvely well documented<br />
peerage The Complete Peerage’3 (CP) ts a much esteemed secondaryi source for thts purpose<br />
and, though tts mam focus IS not the <strong>Plant</strong>agenet name, it ts worth nottng some pertment extracts<br />
from It<br />
The Corn&m Peerage (Volume XI Appendtces) states on page 141, m an appendtx relating m<br />
part to Geoffrey, count of A~JOU (1113-1151) -<br />
This tamous ntckname occurs as <strong>Plant</strong>egenest, m John of Marmoutler’s Preface to the<br />

I” Wace. Ronlan de Rou (ed Andrew), vol II, p 437, II 10300.02, 10305 The most bkely<br />
explanation of Its ongm seems to be the tradmonal one. that Geoffrey was accus;omed to wear<br />
a spng of broom (planta genuta) m his cap or helmet (Norgate, l&land wzder the Angevrn<br />
Kmgs, vol I, p 261) It IS curious that, although this 1s the reason gwen by Green, Htsr Englrsh<br />
People, vol 1, p 151, Mrs Green says that Geoffrey was so called “from his love of huntmg over<br />
heath and broom” (Henry II, p 6) This may be deduced from Wace (Lot CII )<br />

Roman columns of the 6th century AD show the Green Man as a fobate head, which seems to have been the<br />

churches. The mmge of a Green Man spewmg fobage has been constdered to be represent the uttermg of the<br />
logos or creattve Word, posstbly lllustratmg the cycle of death and regeneration This can be compared wth<br />
Grosseteste’s 12th-13th century model of the soul, whtch mcluded the vegetatwe operations of the nutntwe,<br />
the augmentatwo, and the generatrve - these can be readily related to the mouth not only eatmg but also<br />
uttermg the (planted) Word of growth and regenetwon. There are also carved heads of cats spewmg fohage<br />
and, for Grosset&o and others, antmal souls also contamed vegetatwe operatmns<br />

of York stattng ‘He appears to have awmed thrs name about 1448’ Indeed, Volume I (wntten<br />

Rtchard Plartragenet, Duke of York’ Thts use of the word ‘never’ contrasts wtth the usual adage<br />
that ‘absence of extant evtdence 1s not evtdence of absence’ -I” other words, we mtght comment<br />
that no-one can know that the <strong>Plant</strong>agenet name was newer used albett that the statement of ‘never’<br />
fulfils argumenfum ad rgnorantum whereby we ,tre Ignorant that it was ever used We may note that<br />
the extant evtdence at least begs the questto” of how It was that a tradttto” for the <strong>Plant</strong>agenet “ame<br />

that thts surname dted out wtth the last such <strong>Plant</strong>agetlet, Rtchard’s grand-daughter, Margaret Poole<br />

It needs to be added, however, that the Complete Peerage does not mentton a further notable<br />
ptece of evidence The <strong>Plant</strong>agenet name appears many tunes in the mdex to the Close Rolls and,<br />
though the entnes themselves do not generally mentton the name exphcttly, there IS a rare exceptton<br />

tegenet to the so-called “Royal House of <strong>Plant</strong>agenet”. or indeed the prectse nature of a connectton<br />
of Plauntegenct to the <strong>Plant</strong> name, ts not clear from tht\ prtmary evtdence however<br />
25.2.5 Reaching back to medieval sense before the Renaissance<br />
mname meanmgs should be mundane, Mundane, that IS, to a medteval mtnd For <strong>Plant</strong>-hke<br />
S names, we need to ‘unlearn’ many cenhmes of post-Renatssance sctence, lookmg for clues m<br />
scholasttc wrtttngs, to try to reconstruct the behefs of such a person as the medteval herbarms or<br />
of one famthar wtth uttenng Green Man heads Despttc the mtellectual challenge of thts task, the<br />
atm ts to return to tdeas that were commonplace at the ttme. desptte perhaps the behefs taktng on a<br />
somewhat mcomprehenstble atr to us. Certamly there was nothmg new about beltef m the sptntual<br />
powers of herbs and such Ideas remanted Intact through the Mtddle Ages The De Natuns Renm<br />
of Alexander Nequam (1157-1217), for example, was a collectton of sptrttual mterpretattons of<br />
natural phenomena and, from such evtdence, tt seems that anagogtcal or sptrttual meanmgs were<br />
commonplace tn natural htstory. Heraldry also featured m the prevatlmg culture though, wtthout<br />
some further explanatton, we mtght questton why there was any Interest, per se, tn tdenttfymg a<br />
parttcular emblem (one of the many emblems of the ‘<strong>Plant</strong>agenets’) as the spectes planta genrsta It<br />
may have been b&f m the beahng powers of the sprtg of broom that gave a particular stgntficapce<br />
to the name of thts royal dynasty. Bemg healed ts one of the baste destderata of hfe, m any age, and<br />
though the emphasts has smce changed from the ‘sptntual’ to the ‘btochemtcal’, the noble heahng<br />
powers of the broom may explant an “early ptosatc” stgmficance to the <strong>Plant</strong>agenet name Stmtlarly,<br />
the most stgntficant sense of the name <strong>Plant</strong>erose may have been an ‘Implam of spirttual love<br />
and healmg powers’ desprte the fact that ‘gardenmg’, whtch spt mgs to our modem tntnds, has smce<br />
become the most popular hobby m England.<br />
From the Mtddle Ages onwards, a dtsttnctron was made between dtvme or natural magtc (somettmes<br />
called whtte magrc) and, on the other hand, petty sorcery, necromancy, and commanon A<br />
sptntual sense to <strong>Plant</strong>-ltke names falls mto the former category and tt can be regarded as acceptable<br />
m medreval Christtan ttmes Wtth the 15th century spread of Hermetic Wtsdom followmg<br />
the Renaissance, Johanan Alemanna wrote that the anctent Israehtes ‘were taught to be&e w the<br />
possrbdtty of cartsmg certain sprntual forces and emanatrons to descendfiom above by means of<br />
preparatm made by mm for thatp<strong>wp</strong>ose, such as talwuans. garments, and certacn oblects whose<br />
purpose is to cawe the descent of certam spintunl power . ’ In other words, along with the<br />
passtve ‘planted Word’ of the Lord, it became more the norm to belteve that men themselves could<br />
acttvely mduce ‘planted sptrtts’ Ptco della Mtrandola (1463-94) of the Florentme Academy wrote<br />
‘whatever seed each man cultwates will grow to matunty and bear m hm them own frutt’ addmg ‘so<br />
does the magus wed earth to heaven, that IS, he weds lower thrngs to the endowments and powers of<br />
htgher rhlngs’. The medteval sotcerer had been largely dn outcast from the Church’s near monopoly<br />
on leammg ‘* but, accordmg to Frances Yatest9, tt was Ptco who ‘jirst boldly formulated a new posttlon<br />
for European man ro conrrol hrs destmy by rcrence’ Paracelsus (1493.1541) drew on an<br />
old parallel between botany and alchemy when he wrote ‘As the physictan @uses herbal wtrtes<br />
Into the srck man, and so heals hu drsease, so the magm ufkes wtto mm the heavenly vrrtrrrs~ust<br />
as he has extracted them Thts seemmgly reflects a tradttton, apphcable to the name <strong>Plant</strong>erose<br />
for example, of companng tmplanted heahng powers of plants, such as the rose, wtth an tmplanted<br />
spmt of heavenly love Wtth the Renatssance, tt seems to have become more the provmce of any<br />
magus to mvoke any sort of heavenly sptrtt, rather than Just the Cathohc pnest’s place to pentton<br />
the Lord for Hts planted Word By then, <strong>Plant</strong>-lake names were already well estabhshed - tt seems<br />
that thetr tmttal sense IS to be regarded mamly as ‘rmplants of the Lord’s creattve Word’, perhaps tn<br />

252.6 Associable meanings for <strong>Plant</strong>-like names<br />
A<br />
medteval <strong>Plant</strong>-hke traditton can be dated back at least to the 9th century Aqunaman ttmes of<br />
Bernard <strong>Plant</strong>a-Prlus A traditton of <strong>Plant</strong>-like names seemmgly lmgered on mto modern trmes<br />
m England wnh the <strong>Plant</strong> name m Prestbury pansh, m proxumty m east Cheshtre to the Warrens<br />
(who belonged to the so-called “<strong>Plant</strong>agenet” famrly)<br />
The <strong>Plant</strong>-hke name <strong>Plant</strong>ard has been assoctated wtth 7th century France, albeit on the basrs<br />
of rather contenuous evtdence. More certainly, m a modem French Telephone Dtrectory20, there<br />
are occurrences of <strong>Plant</strong>ard (425 entrtes), <strong>Plant</strong>ade (334 entrees), and <strong>Plant</strong>adts (58 entries) In medteval<br />
Latm, <strong>Plant</strong>ada ts a vartant of <strong>Plant</strong>ata whtch means ‘a place planted (such as wtth vmes)’<br />
while <strong>Plant</strong>atto means a ‘foundatton, erectton, or constructton (such as of a chutch)‘2’ In modem<br />
French, plantard means a squared trunk of a tree, whtch could be associated wtth early constructron<br />
If we cast the net more widely, we may note that Ardo was the last Vtstgothtc tuler (713-720) of<br />
Septemama (around SW France) - tt 1s said that Ardo IS an abbrevtatton of Ardablast, a Vtstgothc<br />
prince who returned from Armenia, and that Arta is common m Persian names meanmg ‘lustme,<br />
daughter of the Wtse Lord’. Accordmg to an old-Perstan Drcttonaty arta means nghteousness22 23<br />
We can hence construct a meamng an ‘implanter of rtghteousness’ for <strong>Plant</strong>-Ard which rather resembles<br />
the evident meaning an ‘nnplantet of contrttton of sm’ for the 13th century Mtddle Engltsh<br />
name <strong>Plant</strong>efolte More patttculady, the name <strong>Plant</strong>ard ts found mostly m Brittany In Bretot?, nrd<br />
means ‘art’ or ‘craft’ and meamngs of the verb plnntaii mclude ‘to Implant and so, m a medteval<br />
context, we can translate <strong>Plant</strong>-Ard as an ‘unplant(et) of dtvme skull’<br />
Some other modern French names are listed m Figure 25 2 They Include <strong>Plant</strong>e (817 entnes<br />
m a modem French Telephone Directory), <strong>Plant</strong>y (105), <strong>Plant</strong>te (102), <strong>Plant</strong>tveau (49) <strong>Plant</strong>avnt<br />
(17). <strong>Plant</strong>evtgne (16) --. they relate as much to plenty as to vegetable growth and, for example, as<br />
much to a God-ltke sptnt of wine as to the planted vme Many of these names, mcludmg the 13th<br />
century Bngltsh spellmgs <strong>Plant</strong>e and Plente, cau accordingly be associated wnh ‘a planted spirit<br />
of nutrittve generosrty, abundant growth, and ferttle generauon” - this ts m keeping with Pseudo-<br />
Dronystan tradttton and wtth medteval models of the vegetattve soul (Chapter 24) Another modem<br />
surname ts <strong>Plant</strong>a (60 entnes m France and 80 m Italy) In medteval Latin, planta can mean a newly<br />
planted vme, sole of foot, or the foundattons of a btuldmg The etymology of the Gaeltc word clann,<br />
meamng ‘descendants’ or ‘tribe’, can be associated wtth an ‘offshoot’ meanmg of the Latm word<br />
planta (cf newly planted ‘vme or ‘progeny’)26<br />
The French surname <strong>Plant</strong>erose (52 entries) ts found also m 13th century England In Agnus<br />
Castus the rose IS ascribed many healing powers and <strong>Plant</strong>erose can have sense as an ‘rmplanter<br />
of rose sptnts or, for example, an ‘assuager of fever’ It can be added that the Merovmgtan kmg<br />
Guntramn transmitted sovereignty to his nephew by the symbol of the spear, a symbol sometunes assoctated<br />
with Woden27 -with such a tradition, the Enghsh bye-name <strong>Plant</strong>efene might be thought<br />
to take on unphcattons of heredttary trausmtsston m tts senses of an ‘unplanter of happy spurts or a<br />
‘spear tmplanter and thts may be related to sense of plant as ‘chtld’ or ‘heir’ Others have assocrated<br />

DNA Testing Report - by Dr John S <strong>Plant</strong>, December 2002<br />
Our <strong>Plant</strong> study ts now summanzed qmte prommentiy on the Oxford Ancestors’ web stte. There ts<br />
sttll a role for further Y-lme testmg<br />
A summary of our Study on the web<br />
In August 2002, I was asked by the CEO of the Oxford Ancestors DNA Testmg Laboratory for a<br />
contrtbtmon about ‘The<strong>Plant</strong> Story’. Imttally, the only study that appeared m the ‘Real LIfeStones<br />
sectton of then web stte www. oxfordancestors. corn related to the Clough surname, though<br />
the Bdlman surname has smce been added My account was the second ‘Real Ltfe Story’ to appear<br />
there and It is reproduced below<br />
The ‘<strong>Plant</strong>’ surname study<br />
Smce the mtd 20th century, It has been generally supposed that <strong>Plant</strong> ts a”multt-ortgm” occupa-<br />
ttonal name meanrng a “gatdener” [e.g PH Reaney (1976) A Dtcttonary of Bntish Surnames]<br />
We may hence have expected to find few, tf any, Y-hne matches amongst our mmal buccal<br />
swab samples. However, the Oxford Ancestors DNA results so far, for hvmg male <strong>Plant</strong>s from<br />
various regions, suggest that the name descends mostly from a smgle family Results for 6<br />
samples have been found to match (4 exactly and 2 wtthm a smgle mutatton), these are for 5<br />
dtfferent <strong>Plant</strong> branches that were known fmii documentary evidence to be unrelated for the<br />
pa\t 200 or 300 years and to be from dtfferent parts of England and the USA A 7th result was<br />
unrelated<br />
Thus the Y-lme results, so far, support the tdea of a largely single Plot famtly. A mam medieval<br />
homeland wds near Wales Thts favours a “soul-tmplant” meanmg to the <strong>Plant</strong> name which can<br />
be related to the “child” meaning of the Welsh word plant and the “famtly” meanmg of the old<br />
Gaehc word eland Other posslbihttes, however, should not be mled out<br />
Further afield there were other slmtlar names As already mdtcated, the documentary evidence<br />
suggests that the m&n 14th century homeland for <strong>Plant</strong> was east Cheshtre, near Wales, but<br />
one needs to add that there were also the 13th century name spellmgs Plente and <strong>Plant</strong>e m SE<br />
England The spellmg <strong>Plant</strong>e clusters m SW France neat where thete ts also <strong>Plant</strong>te, <strong>Plant</strong>y,<br />
<strong>Plant</strong>a, <strong>Plant</strong>ard, <strong>Plant</strong>ade, <strong>Plant</strong>adls, for example A controversial 1996 book clatms famlhal<br />
connecttons amongst <strong>Plant</strong>-ltke names m medteval France, such as between <strong>Plant</strong>ard, <strong>Plant</strong>d,<br />
and <strong>Plant</strong>agenet [M.Batgent, R.Lelgh, and H Lmcoln (1996) The Holy Blood and the Holy<br />
Grad, pp’ 261, 276, 2801<br />
We may look to the new DNA evtdence Our 6 matchmg Y-lme results mclude one for a<br />
<strong>Plant</strong> who IS satd to have descended from the name spelhng <strong>Plant</strong>t, whmh ts found m early<br />
records m England and more recently elsewhere (e g USA) If an abbrevlatlon with Its final<br />
“t” superscnpted, <strong>Plant</strong>t recalls the clatm of an 1862 book whtch states that the name <strong>Plant</strong><br />
“IS supposed to be corrupted from <strong>Plant</strong>agenet” [John Sletgh (1862) A htstory of the Ancient<br />
Partsh of Leek, p 1491<br />
Though such an anecdote need not be taken too sertousiy, tt ts relevant that there remams a<br />
wide variety of <strong>Plant</strong>-hke names to be DNA tested The posstbthty of findmg, or dlsprovmg,<br />
Y-hne connecttons between some offers a prospect of dlummating the ortgms and meanmgs of<br />
such names as <strong>Plant</strong><br />
Science in genealogy -the current state of the art of DNA testing<br />
In Genealogy, we take care with our reasonmg as we try to bmld a wall of truth “1” wtth htstoncal<br />
records (e g berths, marrtages) as the brtcks (I e “2”) and theortes as the mortar (I e “3”) Thts<br />
relates to a so-called “3 world” phdosophy - there IS (I) the world out there as It really extsted, (2)<br />
the mformatton we have dbout that world, and (3) the theottes by whtch we attempt to reconsttuct<br />
the truth “1” from theevldence “2”. However. n nnght be that ourseemmgly reason‘tble theottes “3”’<br />
41<br />
l<br />
a
are ml\taken For example, It nnght be that there was really anothel Fred <strong>Plant</strong> for whom records<br />
have been lost (exlsted in truth “1” but mlssmg from the evtdence “2”) and so the supposed “only”<br />
Fred Pldnt of the nght age m the nght place at the nght trme may not really be the correct one<br />
Indeed the true father m a supposed <strong>Plant</strong> tree may not really have been a <strong>Plant</strong> at all With Scrence,<br />
there I< often the posslbrhty of addmg to our known mformatlon “2” with new dlscovenes, such as<br />
new re\ult\ from DNA testmg - new mformatlon “2” allows the theorlec “3” to be developed and<br />
our understandmg of the world as It really was (I e “1”) progresses<br />
Though m&DNA can be obtained from ancient teeth, Y-SIR te5tmg reqmres good quahty nu-<br />
clear DNA’ For Y-hne testmg of the <strong>Plant</strong>agenets for example, we need to seek out their descen-<br />
dants The only lmes that the Y-hne DNA techmque can test are purely male-to-male hnes Male-<br />
to-male descendants of the <strong>Plant</strong>agenets have Included the bastald “ducal” Imes of the Cornwall<br />
famdy and of the Somerset (or Beaufort) family Also, the founder of the Royal House of <strong>Plant</strong>a-<br />
genet. Geoffrey of AnJOu, had a bastard son Hamehn of whom John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey<br />
(died 1347) was a lineal male descendant and he had m turn a bastard son Edward Warenne who<br />
fathered the Warren fannly of Cheshrre. There rs also said to be a Wailer ahas Warren family of the<br />
Buckmgham-Hertfordshire area, dated to around 1500, which 1s srud to be of hneal male descent<br />
from the Warrens (<strong>Plant</strong>agenets)<br />
Though we need to test male-to-male lines, It 1s also mstructrve to consider all hnes of descent.<br />
These are nearly all mlxed male-and-female Imes (m other words, a particular lme might have<br />
had one or two male-to-male generatlons, then a man having a daughter, followed-by a couple of<br />
female-to-female generatlons for example) If there are sufficiently many (mmnly undocumented)<br />
lmes descended from a medreval indrvldual, almost everyone m a particular region may have a hrgh<br />
chance of bemg descended from that mdlvldual, one way or another through the many’ hnes of<br />
descent Thus the overall chance of bemg a descendant through undocumented lines might bejudged<br />
to be higher than the chance that any smgle documented hne 1s correct As well as uncertaumes<br />
about the patemlty events3 in a documented hne 4, there are often other uncertamtles It 1s hence<br />
sometunes chsputed whether pomtmg to a particular lme of descent, even one documented m such<br />
a respectable source as the Complete Peerage, slgmficantly alters the chances of bemg descended<br />
from a medleval character such as a <strong>Plant</strong>agenet If, for example, one’s ancestry IS close to the many<br />
descendmg hnes of the Warrens (<strong>Plant</strong>agenets) anyway<br />
For thefar fewer purely male-to-male hnes, which are to be used fol Y-hne testmg, there 1s not<br />
as yet a parncularly complete or detmled database of DNA Y-STR results with winch to compare<br />
one’s own Y-hne results. One can not simply look up the male-lme famdy or branch one’s own<br />
haplotype matches (or, to be more precise for a female, not one’s own Y-hne haplotype but that<br />
of one’s father or brother) Instead, the current art of DNA testing 1s typlcally to consider weak<br />

for example, who &d not restnct themselves to a smgle surname<br />
Each of us has Just one purely male-to-male hne back from our father through our ancestors. The<br />
chance of bemg a purely male-hneal descendant of a particular medleval mdlvtdual 1s small Such<br />
an mdtvtdual may have had none or several male-to-male lmes m then mverted tree of descendants,<br />
such as stemmmg simply from two sons of a father or, for example, from the several male-to-male<br />
“ducal” lmes of descent from the “<strong>Plant</strong>agenets”. Computer slmulatlons suggest that once a set<br />
of hneal male descendants has become reasonably well estabhshed (such as m the case of several<br />
descendants wtth the same surname) It can be expected that even those purely male-hne descendants,<br />
not Just the mtxed male-and-female lines, ~11 probably contmue to thnve as the genera1 population<br />
has Increased Purely male-related descendants should have matchmg Y-hne DNA apart from slight<br />

It may become mcreasmgly the norm to regard any Inverted genealogical tree a~ “unconfirmed”<br />

<strong>Plant</strong> FHG web Site Report - by or Johns <strong>Plant</strong>, December 2002<br />
In August 2002, an mtroductory article on “Some Notable <strong>Plant</strong>s” was added to the How to Jam<br />
page of the web site-this was provtded by Keith. Also a hst of “Past Members” was added to the<br />
Members’ Interests page. On the Jotrmal page, a password protected area was added contammg the<br />
full text of some arttcles that have appeared in back Issues of Roots nnd Branches - tt is planned<br />
to add to these m due course<br />
In September 2002, some dlustrations of so-called “Green Man heads” were added to both the<br />
Name Orlgtns and <strong>Plant</strong> Soul pages<br />
As previously mentioned, we have stattstlcs of only the requests commg through to Keele for the<br />
master files of the web pages Many of the requests go to local caches (Just as people go to a local<br />
hbrary for a book and not necessanly direct to the ongmatmg publtsher). On the basis of requests<br />
commg m for the Keele master files however, we can form a ‘Top 5 of requested items” and, for<br />
recent months, this has included Keah’s arhcle on “Notable <strong>Plant</strong>s” for example, as mchcated below<br />

PS DNA TESTING<br />
A smgle result has now been obtained for <strong>Plant</strong>e, spec~tically for the volunteer PEIa This differs from<br />
the results for <strong>Plant</strong>(t) by 9 steps at 6 markers The participant PEla 1s hence almost certamly<br />
unrelated to the earlier volunteers m any tnne-scale of mterest to <strong>Family</strong> Hlstonans However, It IS<br />
stdl premature to conclude that the <strong>Plant</strong>e f&mdy IS a separate famdy from the <strong>Plant</strong> famdy In<br />
particular, we do not yet know whether this smgle result for <strong>Plant</strong>e 1s representatwe of most people m<br />

DESCENDANTS OF EARLY PLANT OF NORTA AMERICA<br />
Journal No 22 and prewous journals mcluded mfolmatlon on descendants of John <strong>Plant</strong> in, (1678-<br />
1752) and Hannah Whedon (1678-1754) and a farmly lrne of <strong>Plant</strong>s of Branford, Connecticut was<br />
estabhshed as shown opposite<br />
A number of <strong>Plant</strong>s shown on the famdy tree were burled m Old Branford cemetery and Lmda <strong>Plant</strong><br />
Wagoner (Member No 182) hds spent a considerable amount of time photoyaphmg the various<br />
headstones<br />
For postenty the photographs have been reproduced below Thanks are due to Lmda m making this<br />
record The numbers shown agamst the headstones refer to the numbew on the famdy chart<br />
The mformatwn contained on these headstones has added to the family chart<br />
It appears that the <strong>Plant</strong>s boned in Old Branford cemetery all descended from Bea~aolla <strong>Plant</strong> (173%<br />
1808) who was a son ofJohn <strong>Plant</strong> Jn , and Hannah Whedon who lived in Branford in the late 171h and<br />
the first half of the 18s’ century The most promment member of the famdy was Henry Bradley <strong>Plant</strong><br />
(1819-1898), a radway pioneer who had <strong>Plant</strong> City, FlorIda named after hnn and, I believe, budt<br />
