The title was published by Playford in his Musick's Recreation (1669), however, the melody earlier appeared in Playford's Musick's Hand-Maid (1663) as the generically-title "A Scotish [sic] March." William Stenhouse, in his Illustrations to the Scots Musical Museum (p. 197), opined "the second strain contains a redundant bar which spoils the measure". It is the ancestral melody for a widespread and varied tune family found throughout Britain and Ireland, and was also imported to North America^[1]. One of its more famous derivatives is "Rock and a Wee Pickle Tow (A)," which appeared in Joseph Mitchell's opera Highland Fair; or, A Union of the Clans (1731), later printed in London publisher James Oswald's Curious Collection of Scots Tunes (1739). See also the distanced derivative "Old Woman Tossed Up in a Blanket (4)."

-The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes (called "The Northern Minstrel's Budget") which he published c. 1800. See "[[Joy be wi' my love]]" from the Scottish '''McFarlan manuscript''' (c. 1740) for a possible precursor. Felton is a village in Northumberland midway between Morpeth and Alnwick, while ''lonnen'' is a dialect word in the north of England for a land or road. Whelan's  '''History, Topography, and Directory of Northumberland''' (1855) states that in the mid-19th century "Felton comprises an area of 12,830 acres. Population in 1851, 1,574 souls. The soil of this parish is various but chiefly incumbent upon strong clay, and is well suited for grain crops. There are some coal seams here, but they are not much worked." The village is approximately 9 miles south of Alnwick on the River Coquet, over which a stone bridge was built, followed by a second bridge in modern times to accommodate increased traffic. It was in Felton that English barons met in 1215 to plan the transfer of their allegiance from King John to King Alexander of Scotland, a decision that greatly annoyed the former, with the result that he had the village burned down as punishment. Stokoe and Bruce remark: "There is a jingling rhyme fitted to this tune to be found in Sir Cuthbert Sharp's '''Bishoprick Garland''', but it is there entitled 'Pelton Lonnin'. Pelton is a village in County Durham located about two miles to the northwest of Chester-le-Street.
