1) "A Codman usually simply mean a leatherworker. Belter was a man who made belts — direct from the Old English word belt. A Bottler, Bottell or Bottle were those who made leather bottles and earlier variation of the surname — from the Middle English — were Bouch, Buche and Budge. Saddlemakers spawned many surnames. The earliest English recording of a family name deriving from this occupation is Simon le Sadeler in 1288. Another spelling was Sadelare. The Old English word was sadol, which meant saddle. Those who made the saddletree gave us surnames from the Old French fustier. These surnames are Fewster, Foister, Foyster and Fuster."
