Name Origins
The name Drinkwater seems to have emanated originally from Cheshire, England. Many members of the family distinguished themselves as soldiers, writers and poets; three have received and one has declined the Honour of Knighthood; two appear in the Dictionary of National Biography.
The name occurs in its simplest form as early as 1273 when John Drinkwater of Stottesdon county, Salop, is named as an entry in the Hundred Rolls. The earliest known occurrence in Cheshire is in 1365 when Thomas was a defendant in a suit brought by John Boydedd concerning tenements in Lymm. Thomas possible came from Lakes of Derwent, known as Derwentwater in the North of England.
The surname Drinkwater is thought to have originated as a nickname anciently applied to one of sober habits. Some historians state that it is a corruption of Derwentwater, but this theory is considered by many to be without foundation. It is found in old English and early American records in various spellings of Drynwater, Drynkwatere, Drinckwater and Drinkwater, the last of which is that most commonly used in America today. Families bearing this name were established in England as early dates in Salop, Lancashire, Cheshire, and London. One of the earliest references to the name appears to be that of John Drinkwater, living in Salop in 1273. A Richard Drynckwatere, possibly related to John, lived in the same county in 1309.
Among the earliest records of the name Drinkwater in the New World are Thomas Drinkwater, who settled in Maine before 1700 when he married Elizabeth (Haskell) Drinkwater (1672-aft.1717), a Mayflower descendant; and John Shaud Drinkwater (abt.1740-abt.1784), who emigrated from England and settled in Henrico County, Virginia, in 1637.
A son of Thomas, Joseph Drinkwater (1709-1784), had nine sons—all were masters of vessels. Among their sons, there were seven sea captains.
There are 39 master mariners recorded with the name Drinkwater, and 11 lost at sea. There are

A History of Drinkwater in the New World
Maine has a long-standing tradition of being home to many shipbuilding companies. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Maine was home to many shipyards that produced wooden sailing ships. The main function of these ships was to transport either cargos or passengers overseas. One of these yards was located in Pennellville Historic District in what is now Brunswick, Maine. This yard, owned by the Pennell family, was typical of the many family-owned shipbuilding companies of the time period. Other such examples of shipbuilding families were the Skolfields and the Morses. During the 18th and 19th centuries, wooden shipbuilding of this sort made up a sizable portion of the economy.

Drinkwater Name Changed
- Drinkwater => Bethune
- Drinkwater => Dewalter
DeWaters
Samuel (Drinkwater, the 3rd generation of this surname found in early America and a descendant of Thomas Drinkwater, changed the family name to DeWaters after the Revolutionary War. He, and his wife's family, were Loyalists. Loyalists were punished by the Patriots and some fled to England or Canada. Loyalists were not allowed to own land and some had their lands confiscated, and some were jailed. Loyalists
- Drinkwater => DeWater/s: Amos Drinkwater, father of 12, had three sons who changed LNAB to DeWater/s. This family's name changed from Drinkwater to DeWaters and occurred about five years before Amos moved from New York to Michigan in 1835. A logical reason given is that this branch of the family were Loyalists. He moved to Marcellus between 1800-1810 and bought eight acres of land on Jan 12, 1814, from Mr. Glover of Mentz. Four years later he sold the land to Elijah Cole. In 1830, he moved to Skaneateles and in 1835, moved to Michigan and settled on Section 14, Fawn River Township. Jeremiah Drinkwater and other members of the Drinkwater family began using the name DeWaters in Onondaga County, New York

- Elijah DeWater - 3 sons, 15 grandchildren
- Amos B DeWater/Drinkwater - Amos couldn't make up his mind.

Warren's son, Warren Drinwater is Drinwater on his gravestone, as are his five children and his grandchildren.

I have Drinkwater ancestors. I came across a major 90 page book written by C H Drinkwater in 1920 detailing Drinkwater family history. Unfortunately it does not include any of my line of Drinkwater ancestors, however since you are running the Drinkwater one name study I thought it would be a great resource for you, just in case you have not seen it. You can access it from Ancestry here: https://www.ancestry.com.au/imageviewer/collections/17787/images/dvm_GenMono003583-00001-0
