Early Origins of the Tottherake family
The surname Tottherake was first found in Selkirk, where they held a
family seat. The history of the family followed the same pattern as many of the Norman families who moved north in 1137 after the Barons revolt against King Stephen in
England. Adam, son of Henry of Totherigg rendered homage to King Edward 1st of
England at Berwick after his brief conquest of
Scotland in 1296. It was the Norman custom for the second son of a landed family to adopt the name of his estates as his surname.
