Excerpt from A Genealogical Record of One Branch of the Heath, Clark and Cone Families: March 1, 1905 Heath comes under the classification of local surnames. By local surnames we mean surnames which tell us something of places or directions: where a person lives, some feature of the landscape about his home. Or the place or direction from whence he came. These names, we are told, were the first to become hereditary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
