From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

British Family Names: Their Origin and Meaning (1903) by Henry Barber

Pugsley is a very ancient Barnstaple name: John Pugsley was the name of three of the early mayors—namely, in 1355, 1468, and 1474, and the name occurs in the annals of the town for the 17th century (G.). Barnstaple is still the home of the name, although some fifteen generations have passed away since the stirring days of Cressy and Poictiers, when John Pugsley was mayor.
