Took clan

In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, the Took clan (/ˈtuːk/, not /ˈtʊk/) was one of the most famous Hobbit families.

Pippin of the Fellowship of the Ring was a member of this family. Other famous Hobbits including Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins and Meriadoc Brandybuck were also related.

The first recorded Took (Tûk of unknown meaning in Hobbitish Westron) was an Isumbras Took, who became the 13th Thain of the Shire in T.A. 2340 after Gorhendad Oldbuck crossed into Buckland, becoming Master there.

After Isumbras, the office of Thain became hereditary in the Took family, and at the beginning of the Fourth Age his descendant Peregrin "Pippin" Took became the 19th Thain of the Took line, the 32nd in the Shire.

The Tooks mostly lived in the Great Smials of Tuckborough, ruling the Tookland in the Westfarthing of the Shire. A smaller clan called the North-Tooks lived far up in the Northfarthing; these were descendants of the legendary hero Bullroarer Took.
