The Farish Family

Faireis, Kerse of Kendill

 

    Name: FAIREIS 
    Surname: Faireis 
    Sex: M 
    Note: The name Fara originally meant a traveller, and the termination "is" 
    or "ish", was a designative suffix meaning "of the nature of", or "Belonging 
    to". The whole name, etymologically, meant "The Traveller who belonged to, 
    or lived hard by, the water." The word, "Traveller" in ancient days when 
    surnames where adopted, meant soething differnt from our present ideas 
    associated with that word. Travel then was hard to undertake and rarely 
    undertaken except by the knigts and Retainers who went to war, and by the 
    Pilgrims who made journeys to the holy Land. The term "travelleer" was, 
    therfore, eally a title of honor, as means of transportation were few and 
    the danger of travelling great. The grant of Coats-of-armour to the family 
    is registeed under the name of "Fariseau", in Flanders, and was issued 13 
    August 1698. The family was ennobled and raides to the rank of Chevaliers 23 
    August 1699. On the translation of the family to England, which took place 
    just prior to 1700, the final "h" for the sake of euphony in English 
    pronunciation. Thus the pesent spelling Farish. Almost every British surname 
    has undergone similar evolution. Such changes in spelling and pronunciation, 
    made by different branches of the family where not identenical, hence the 
    forms of Faris, Farris, Farish, and similar spellings. 
    Birth: in Kerse of Kendill, Dumfries, Scotland 
    Note: The holdings of this family was in Dumfries in what is commonly called 
    the Kerse of Kendill (Kerse later called Carse) and is located in the 
    southern portion of Scotland on the border with England. The name was 
    spelled in many different ways: Fayrish, Fairis, Fareis, Faris, Fairess, and 
    others. The family were cattle and sheep raisers and from many accounts, the 
    word "Raider" might have been more appropriate than raiser.

My father Lawrence Buckner Farish Jr. told me lot's of old stories about his life growing up as 
a boy down in Alabama. One of them about his "pet bear". It seems as though "LB" and his
dad were out fishing in the Alabama river and a black bear cub was hanging on a tree limb over 
the river. When the boat got underneath the cub, it fell in the boat. They kept the bear and 
"LB" became attached to the bear and his dad chained the bear up on the side of the house!
 Dad said the school kids would come by his house after school to see the bear, but soon
 began picking at him and throwing rocks at him, and he got too mean and worried his dad
 that it might get one of the kids so they sold the bear to the circus.
