Individual Details

The name of LIPPINCOTT was derived from Lovecote, which is described in the Domesday Book, or census made by order of William the Conqueror in 1086 of lands held by Edward the Confessor in 1041-66. This SAXON name implies that a proprietor named Love held the house, cote and lands; hence, called Lovecote, which name was probably already ancient. Surnames were not settled until about his date, and hence Lovecote, Loughwyngcote, Lyvenscott, Luffingcott, Luppingcott, through which variations it has descended to become fixed in LIPPINCOTT during the last two centuries [17th and 18th], and is undoubtedly of great antiquity.

The College of Heralds at London has granted eight different coats of arms to this family. The arms accompanying this account* was in possession of Philip Luppingcott, Esq., of Devonshire, England in 1620, when visited by the heralds, and was at that time already ancient.
