Notes

"The name Strother is believed to be of Scandinavian origin and the family to have gone into Great Britain with the Vikings. Those who bore it began to be mentioned in the annals of the country about this time. It is found in Denmark and Sweden in the present day, and it is to be seen on tombstones older than the Norman Conquest in a grave yard on the Isle of Thanet. On these old tombstones may be seem the Coat of Arms which was borne by the Strother family in England and America during all the years since that date and these "Arms" are identical with those upon old silver and jewelry owned by the Strothers of Virginia. The earliest form of the name seems to have been "Straather" but on the tombstones mentioned it is found not only in this form but it is found also in the form used to the present day. It is frequently seen both in the annals of romance and history. Chaucer mentions those who bore it, and in the records of Northumberland County, England, it is seen many times in the list of "Landed Gentry". It is also found in the marriage records where are chronicled the union between those who bore it and members of the most powerful and influential families of northern England."

"In his account of the Strother family, David Hunter Strother (Porte Crayon) who was the historian of the Strother family, stated that the name is from the Gaelic word "stroth", meaning a broad valley with a river running through it; hence, "Stroth-Clyde", "Stroth-Allen", `Stroth-Moore", "Stroth-Erne", in which stood Fonteroit, the capital city of the Picts. Of this last, by chopping off the last two letters, we have "Strother". Here give the broad sound to "A", as commonly pronounced in England, and we have "Strowther' or "Strother". As the name may have been applied to one living on a "Strath", as one would say "John the Carpenter", they would say "John the Strother".
