In Betty Johnson's book, "Come Climb My Tree - The Trammell Family", she has several notes relating to possible origins of the Trammell name. I have seen more than a few researchers show the English names of Trammell ancestors as Tremill or Tremaille. There are also explanations that frequently the name of a tool or craft of one's livelihood was taken as a surname with their given name and I have seen references of a trammel being a tool such as a pot hanger or type of hammer in England.
