His son, Geoffrey FitzPayne, held the estates in Yorkshire. 2 Early feudal rolls provided the king of the time a method of cataloguing holdings for taxation, but today they provide a glimpse into the wide surname spellings in use at that time. William Trussebut was listed in Cheshire in 1154 and Ylaria Trussebut was found in the Pipe Rolls for Northumberland in 1208. Later, Geoffrey Trussebut was found in the Assize Rolls for Yorkshire in 1363. The name is derived from the Old French word trusser, a nickname for a porter or a carrier.
