The history of the last name TwoBulls

The surname "TWOBULLS" is believed to have originated in England during the medieval period, likely in the 13th or 14th century. It is derived from the Old English words "twa" meaning "two" and "bulloc" meaning "bull," suggesting an ancestor's occupation as a farmer or cattle breeder who owned two bulls or prized bulls.

The earliest known record of the surname "TWOBULLS" can be traced back to the Hundred Rolls of 1273, which were a census-like survey conducted in England during the reign of King Edward I. This document mentions a "William Twobulles" residing in the county of Oxfordshire.

In the 15th century, a variant spelling "TWOBOLLYS" appeared in the Court Rolls of the Manor of Wakefield, Yorkshire, referring to a landowner named "John Twobollys" who held property in the village of Crigglestone.

During the Tudor period, a prominent member of the "TWOBULLS" family was Sir Thomas TWOBULLS (1471-1541), a wealthy merchant and alderman of the City of London. He served as Lord Mayor of London in 1535 and was knighted by King Henry VIII.

Another notable figure was John TWOBULLS (1585-1658), an English clergyman and academic who served as the Master of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, from 1630 until his death. He was also a distinguished scholar and published several works on theology and philosophy.

In the 18th century, a branch of the "TWOBULLS" family settled in the American colonies. One of the earliest recorded instances is that of William TWOBULLS (1712-1778), a farmer and landowner in colonial Virginia, who served as a militia captain during the American Revolutionary War.

The "TWOBULLS" surname also has connections to place names in England, such as the village of Twobuillocks in Gloucestershire, which likely derived its name from the same Old English roots as the surname, referring to the presence of two bulls or the breeding of cattle in the area.
