General Notes

Hugh Gobion, first of the name on record in England. On Pipe Roll,
1130/31 as a Northamptonshire landowner. "The origin of the Gobion or Gubion
family must be sought upon the Breton-Norman border."In or about 1070 Wido (Guy)
Gobio witnessed a charter and William Gobio occurs in another. The name does not
occur in Domesday, and it seems probable the ancestor of this family was a
Norman-Breton who arrived in England in the reign of Henry Beauclerc
