Families covered: Stodart in Lanarkshire, Stodart in/of Walston
| BLG1847 ('Stodart of Kailzie and Ormiston'), which reports on a branch of this family which we do not report as we have not found a connection to it, starts its article with the following: "Concerning the origin of the name of Stodart there is the following tradition:- The first of the family came over with William the Conqueror, as standard-bearer to the Vicomte de l'ulesdon, a noble Norman, who bore for arms, three silver stars on a sable ground. The name is derived from the office of standard-bearer, and was anciently written De La Standarde. This office conferred a high rank on its occupant, and was generally given to a near relation, in whose family it frequently became hereditary. When the family emigrated to Scotland is not known, but they have possessed estates in Selkirkshire and elsewhere for above three hundred years." BLG1952 starts its article on the following family with the following: "The earliest mention of this name in Scotland occures in the Registrum Honoris de Morton of 1376". | |||||||||||||||
