[Complete Peerage II:123-4, (transcribed by DaveUtzinger)] From ÒMy ClanÓ: ÒThe Barclays were a family which came overfrom France with the Norman Conquest. The first spelling of their namewas Ôde BerchelaiÕ, believed to be the AngloÐSaxon version of ÔbeauÕ,meaning ÔbeautifulÕ, and ÔleeÕ a ÔmeadowÕ or ÔfieldÕ. The early settlersin Gloucestershire bore the Norman forenames of Roger and Ralph. DomesdayBook lists them as owning twenty hamlets between the Rivers Wye and Usk.ÓFrom ÒThe History of the Surname Barclay: ÒRoger de Berchelai came toEngland with William the Conqueror and was granted Berkeley Castle inGloucestershire. This early form of the name was believed to be theAnglo-Saxon version of 'beau' meaning beautiful, and 'lee', a meadow orfield. Roger was mentioned in the Domesday Book as well as his son, John.In 1069 John de Berchelai accompanied Margaret (later St. Margaret) toScotland. In gratitude for his service, King Malcolm (Canmore) grantedhim the lands of Towie, near Turriff, in Aberdeenshire, as well as thetitle, Barclay of that Ilk. 900 years of Barclay history in Scotlanddescend from John's three sons, Walter, Alexander, and Richard.Ó
