V. Mascall, &c.
Maskell is probably a contraction of Mascherel, the name of an ancient family that possessed much property in the county in the 11th century: from the Essex Mascherels sprang the noble family of De Hastings (M.). We find the name as Maskerel in the adjoining county of Suffolk in the 13th century (H. R.). It has been suggested that Mascall, a comparatively rare name in Kent and Sussex, was originally Marscal, since, in a family deed of the 16th century, it occurs as Marscal (L.). In the 13th century, Le Marscal was a common name in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire (H. R.), and not improbably Marscal is an intermediate form between the modern Marshall and the mediæval Mareschal, but as to its being the original form of Maskell in Essex, I must express a decided doubt.
