Wotherspoon
Wotherspoon is a surname first recorded in the 13th century with its origins in England and Scotland.〔http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/wotherspoon〕
==History==
The history of the surname Wotherspoon reveals a divergent roster of spellings over the centuries. Today only a handful of variants survive including Weatherspoon, Wetherspoon, Wedderspoon and Witherspoon. The first written record appeared in the 13th century during the reign of Queen Margaret of Norway, who ruled over Scotland from 1286 to 1290. In 1290, one Roger Wythirspon was referred to in ''Orignes Parochiales Scotiae: the Antiquities, ecclesiastical and territorial, of the parishes of Scotland.'' In 1496, the ''Accounts of the lord high treasurer (1473 - 1566)'' recorded "Widderspune the foulare that tald talis and brocht foulis to the King."〔http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/wotherspoon〕 Other early records of the name come to us from witnessed documents. Maister Nichol Vithirspouyne witnessed letters of reversion in 1519,〔Pollok, I, p. 241〕 and Sir Thomas Vaddirspoun, a cleric acted as a witness at Falkland in 1548.〔Gaw, 8〕 The spread of the name to the New World can be witnessed in the names of significant Americans. Reverend John Witherspoon (1722-1794) became president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1768, and was a signatory to the United States Declaration of Independence. General William Wallace Wotherspoon (1850-1921) headed New York's state canal system and was United States Army Chief of Staff in 1914.
