Crock Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
CROC: Croc or Krok, a personal name whose form throws no light whatever on its being either ON. or Old English Robert Croc, a retainer or vassal of Walter the first High Steward, probably accompanied him from Shropshire where the name of Croc obtained. He usually occurs along with the High Steward of whom he held his lands afterwards called Crookston, and others in Renfrewshire and Ayrshire. Between 1165—73 he witnessed a grant of lands to the church of Paisley (RMP., p. 6), and a. 1177 witnessed a charter by Eschina, wife of the High Steward (ibid., p. 75). In 1180 he received permission to build a chapel for the use of his own family (ibid., p. 18), and between 1189—99 he witnessed the gift by Helias filius Fulberti of the church of Mernes to the monks of Paisley (ibid., p. 100). He also gave the patronage of the church of Neilston to the same monks for the salvation of his soul, and was one of the perambulators of the boundaries of Moniabroc in Stragrif c. 1202 (ibid., p. 13). His seal appended to a charter of the lands of Hungerig to Simon Lindsay, c. 1200, bears three shepherds' crooks contourne (Macdonald, 573). Walter Croc, son of Robert Croc, is a charter witness c. 1203 (Dryburgh, 160). Alan Croc and Simon Croc are charter witnesses a. 1225 (RMP., p. 209; Levenax, p. 14). Symone Croc witnessed a quitclaim in 1244 (Cambus., 171), and the gift of an annuity of ten marks to Arbroath Abbey by Alexander 11 in 1247 (RAA., I, p. 202). Thomas Crok attested a confirmation by Alexander filius Walteri of his father's gifts to the church of Paisley, 1239 (RMP., p. 225), and as Thomas Croch appears as a charter witness at Forfar, 1251 (RAA., I, p. 162). Robert Cruoc was juror on an inquisition on the lands of Hopkelchoc in 1259 (Bain, I, 2162; APS., I, p. 88), and in 1262 was charged with having molested burgesses of Peebles in leading their peats from the moss of Walthamshope, etc. (APS., I, pref., p. 90, 91, 98). With Sir Thomas Croc the direct line of the Crocs seems to have failed about the close of the thirteenth century.
