            The term used in the US was for the following reason's as I have
found.

1) Any kind of service that involed state or federal Government such as
Justice of the Peace, Lawyer, Sheriff, or any other job.
2) Being rich or of Nobility linage

              There might be a few others but mostly I find it was because
of number 1 above.
