BUTTERICK - A market-place or a marsh pasture (English). Same as BUTTERWICK. BUTTERICK - The old Teutonic personal name BOTRIC found in Domesday as BOTERIC-us, meaning literally Messenger or Herald-Ruler. The Lincolnshire and North-Riding Butterwicks both occur as BUTRVIC in Domesday Book, while the East-Riding Butterwick is BUTRVID, evidently BUTTERWITH. Couldn't find Bigelow or Brigham. Shocking!

These are cousin lines, but the names are intersting.
