Today after reading all of your messages I looked and I have a Needhan Richardson and a Needham Hinnant from my Johnston Couty relatives. I also had looked for a marriage connection. Maybe this is my Needham answer also.

I'm glad to finally learn where it came from. I kept looking for a Needham marriage connection, but could not find one. Now I know why.

Greetings! I've been following this thread with interest as I have a Needham Massengill in my Johnston County family. The following comes from Ancestry.com: NEEDHAM NAME MEANING AND HISTORY English: habitational name from places in Derbyshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, so named from Old English ned need¹, hardship¹ + ham homestead¹, i.e. a place that provided a poor living. Irish (County Mayo): English surname adopted as an equivalent of Irish Ó Niadh (see Nee).
