Hi All,
I just found this one yesterday ( 13 Jan 2003 ) in "Surnames as a science" by "Robert Ferguson" "2nd Edition".
Page 104.
The book states the following;
"Men's names in Place names"

Anglo-Saxton Man's Name: Grim
Place Name: Grimaston
Present Name: Grimstone, Norfolk

This could mean that the GRIMASON surname is also a derivative of the original place name.
Just drop the "T" and you see what I mean.

Food for thought.
