YEOMAN
Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1842 · p. 50
(From the Anglo-Saxon gem en;' Germ, gemein, common.) Camden ranks yeomen as the next cla to the gentlemen; and calls them " ingenuos." The name seems to have been generally appropriated in the middle ages to small freeholders. In the king's household, the yeomen of the different departments have a middle place between the sergeant and the groom. Yeoman. A seaman appointed to certain duties, as to attend to the storerooms. [s. 1351]
