Took (family)

Took Clan
The Took Clan were powerful, and rich Hobbits of the Shire. After the Oldbucks (later Brandybucks) removed to Buckland, the head of the family (Old Took) became the Thain of the Shire. Even after the Hobbits had mostly discarded the family lands, most Tooks could still be found in the Southfarthing, especially the Tookland.

A part of the Took clan removed to Long Cleeve, where they were known as the Tooks of Long Cleeve.
