The history of the last name Joines

The surname JOINES is of English origin, originating in the counties of Somerset and Gloucestershire in the southwest of England. It is believed to have derived from the old English personal name "Joen" or "John", with the addition of the patronymic suffix "-es", denoting "son of".

Records from the 13th century suggest that the name was initially spelled as "Jones" or "Jones". Over time, different spelling variations emerged, such as "Joins", "Joynes", and eventually "JOINES". These variations were likely due to local dialects and inconsistencies in written records.

One of the earliest known references to the JOINES surname can be found in the Subsidy Rolls of Gloucestershire from 1327, where a "John Jonys" is mentioned. Additionally, the Inquisitiones Post Mortem records from Somerset in 1428 list a "William Jonys".

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the name appears to have spread to other parts of England, with notable individuals bearing the JOINES surname appearing in various historical records. For instance, Richard Joines (c. 1570 - 1645) was an English clergyman and author who served as the Rector of Beachamwell in Norfolk.

Another prominent figure was John Joines (1597 - 1675), a wealthy merchant and landowner from Shropshire, who served as the High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1661. His estate, Joines Court, was located in the village of Aston Munslow.

In the 18th century, William Joines (1736 - 1797) was a noted British naval officer who served during the American Revolutionary War. He participated in several notable battles, including the Battle of the Chesapeake in 1781.

During the 19th century, the name JOINES was associated with several places in England, such as Joines Farm in Somerset and Joines Hill in Gloucestershire, further reinforcing the surname's connection to these regions.

One noteworthy individual from this period was Edward Joines (1823 - 1891), a British architect who designed several notable buildings in London, including the Grosvenor Hotel and the Savoy Theatre.

As the centuries progressed, the JOINES surname spread to other parts of the world, with descendants immigrating to countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia. However, the name's roots and earliest recorded instances can be traced back to the English counties of Somerset and Gloucestershire.
