Tows Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
“Ricardo de Tous” witnesses the charter of the Lady Aaliza (Count Gilbert’s mother) to Thorney Abbey. (Mon. Angli.) The name, as Tose, or Le Tous, is several times found in the Norman Exchequer Rolls of 1180-95. They were probably seated in the Midland Counties, as Richard de Tus (was this the same Richard?) was High Sheriff of Oxon and Berks 7 and 10 John. Either this, or a very similar name, is found in Essex. “The manor of Tewes,” says Morant, “is named from an owner. For Thomas de Tewes hath his name and arms in the east window of the north isle of the Church. The Arms are Azure, a fesse charged with three plates, between two chevronels, Argent. And, under them, this old French inscription, 'Ore p’ le Almes Thomas de Tewes et Elizabeth lour femme.’”He held of the Honour of Clare; as did another of the family, Roger Tewe, probably his descendant, who died in 1483. He was Lord of Tendring in the same county: and “Joane wife of John Rokker, daughter of his son William Tewe, was his next heir.” - Ibid.
Several of the name are entered in the Rotuli Hundredorum, temp. Ed. I.; where we find Robert and John Thus, of Wiltshire; Walter Tuse of Suffolk; and Thomas and Laurence Tuse of Lincolnshire.
