Pride ~ Honor (It's A Family Name)

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: 2020 Week 42 (PROUD)

First I will take a moment to feel the pride I have in myself that I have written about a member of this Bramble Bush weekly since January 2019. Prior to the 52 Ancestors in 52 weeks Challenge I had an uncommitted relationship with my blog. Since signing up for the 2019 challenge I have written every week.
I am very proud of myself. 

I then started to think about using the prompt, PROUD, to write this week's blog.

Merriam-Webster lists the following:
"Synonyms for proud 

disdainful, haughty, highfalutin (also hifalutin), lofty, lordly, prideful, superior." 1

I haven't yet found any Lords in our tree. 

Still searching I found Merriam-Webster came to the rescue with PRIDE:
"Synonyms for pride 
boast, credit, crown jewel, glory, honor, jewel, treasure, trophy" 2

 In looking at the synonyms for Pride the word honor leapt out at me. 
HONOR is a family name that appears 5 times in our Bramble Bush.

The name first appears with my X3 great grandmother:

********

My great grandparents
Ernest Elmer & Rose Honor (nee Dendy) Bayes 
& their two children (my grandmother and her brother).

Back to the name Honor - clearly there was a family bond to the name passed down over the generations. Since I haven't done a lot of research above Honor on the Gunnell/Dendy line of this Bramble Bush I can not say where the name originated. 

Following the names passed down the family line!







This is why I search - 



Cause ... 





You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
