Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Apparently a corruption of Margerison, the son of Margaret; but the Margessons of Offington, co. Sussex, are otherwise deduced, namely from Argenson, a French family. John D'Argenson, living in 1449, had two sons, one of whom fought at the battle of Pavia, in 1524, and the other, Peter D'Argenson, was founder of the English branch. So says B.L.G.; and it is added, that the Margetsons of Yorkshire sprang from that personage, which may well admit of question, for certainly D'Argenson and Margetson are not much alike.
