LIPPINCOTT
The Lippincott surname originates from Ruald Adolphus Lovecote circa 1066, A.D.
Ruald was given Lovecote, or Love Cottage by his friend and companion William The Conquerer. At that time in history surnames were just originating and Ruald Adolphus of Love Cottage became Ruald Adolphus Lovecote.
Found in the Domesday Book Census made by order of William the Conqueror of lands held by King Edward the Confessor 1041/1066.
Following is a translation of the entry on page 115 Volume l of the first census of England:
"Ruald himself held Lovecote.
Lofe (Ruald's father) held it in the time of
Edward the Confessor, paying geld (tax) on a half vergate of land, now returned,
two ox-gangs or plow-lands. There remain two villani or serf, formerly valued
at thirty, but now fifty, denarii"
A government report included:
"Terra Rualdi Adobati in Devensesara" of "lands held by Rualdus Adobatus
in Devonshire."
Ruald Adolphus Lovecote is my Maternal 26th Great Grandfather
The lands and thirty manors in Devonshire at Luffincote Parish were held by descendants of Ruald Adolphus Lovecoat for 350 years and are located in present day Devonshire at Highhampton.
Lovecote became "Luffincote" and then to its present "Lippincott."
Over eight Coat of Arms have been given to the Lippincott surname by the heraldry registry.
