The history of the last name Carradine

The surname Carradine is of English origin, derived from the place name Cradyn or Craddyn in Herefordshire, England. This place name itself is thought to come from the Old English words "crae" meaning "crow" and "dun" meaning "hill" or "down."

The earliest recorded mention of the name Carradine can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Cradyn." This suggests that the name has been in use since at least the 11th century in England.

In the 13th century, the name was spelled various ways, such as Carradyn, Carradyne, and Carradine. During this time, the surname was primarily concentrated in the counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname Carradine was William Carradine, who was born around 1275 in Herefordshire and served as a knight during the reign of King Edward I.

Another notable bearer of the name was Sir John Carradine, who lived in the late 15th century and was a member of the gentry in Shropshire. He was recorded as owning substantial landholdings in the area.

In the 16th century, the Carradine family established themselves as prominent landowners and gentry in Shropshire. One member, Thomas Carradine (1520-1588), was a successful lawyer and served as a Member of Parliament for Shrewsbury.

During the English Civil War in the 17th century, the Carradines were largely Royalists, supporting King Charles I. One notable figure was Captain Richard Carradine (1610-1673), who fought for the Royalist forces and was later knighted for his service.
