Historical References
"SPINK. This was at one time a not uncommon surname around Arbroath. Alexander Spink appears as shoremaster there in 1624 (Hay, Arbroath, p. 319). The earliest record of the name in Scotland is in 1261 when an inquest was held to determine the right which the wife of Robert Spine claimed to have to the king's garden of Elgin (APS., I, p. 99). "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
