It was the name that Samuel Jordan called the place where he lived-- he rec'd a large land grand of 450 acres which was called Jordan's Journey and the house where he lived he called "Begger's Bush. I don't know why-- just figured that in 1620 there were a lot of trees and bushes around it and he thought "Begger's Bush" was a good name, then there may have been a special bush called begger's bush. Just my opinion--- I don't know that much about it, but that is what I assumed.
