 Anmerkung |
The surname of Drum was of local origin, from Drum in the parish of Drumoak, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The earliest of the name on record appears to be John de Drum who was the prebendary of Butirgill in the year 1327, and another John de Drum was prebendary of Buthirgill in 1449. A horse was seized from Edward Drum in Aberdeen in the year 1539, and George Drum was the trade burgess of Aberdeen in 1600. Isobal Drum appears in the parish of Strichen in 1685, and William Drum of Lonhead, Pitmillen, was recorded in 1748. The first people of Scotland to acquire fixed surnames were the nobles and great landowners, who called themselves, or were called by others, after the lands they possessed. Surnames originating this way are known as territorial. Formerly lords of baronies and regalities and farmers were inclined to magnify their importance and to sign letters and documents with the name of their baronies and farms instead of their Christian names and surnames. The abuse of this style of free speech and writing was carried so far that an Act was passed in the Scots parliament in 1672 forbidding the practice and declaring that it was allowed only to noblemen and bishops to subscribe by their titles. This surname was also an occupational name meaning ' 'one who played the drum' '. It was an ancient musical instrument, in which a pitched or unpitched sound is produced by striking a tight skin stretched over a frame. At the end of the last century this name was found in Ireland, mainly County Fermanagh. It was the name of an eranagh family whose home was on the Cavan-Fermanagh border in the barony of Knockninny, County Fermanagh and Tullyshaw, County Cavan, in the territory called Kinawley. Many Highland families migrated from Scotland to Ireland during the 17th & 18th Centuries, and were granted lands of the native Irish Catholic. People heard of the attractions of the New World, and many left Ireland to seek a better life sailing aboard the fleet of ships known as the ' 'White Sails' ', but much illness took its toll with the overcrowding of the ships which were pestilence ridden. From the port of entry many settlers made their way west, joining the wagons to the prairies, and many loyalists went to Canada about the year 1790, and became known as the United Empire Loyalists.
