Alrighty then, Withycombe has three names that I have found so far that
were used in late period England. Claudia, Lucretia and Lucia. This
being so, couldn't Cassia have been used?
R&W, s.n. Macwilliam - Edward Makwillyam 1461, 'son of William.'
Black, s.n. Macwilliam - Makwilliam, 1506 & 1500; Makwillzam 1506;
M'William 16th C; M'Willame in 1548.
