The history of the last name Littlepage

The surname Littlepage has its origins in England, dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to be a locational name, derived from a small village or hamlet called "Little Page" or "Little Paget." The name is thought to have originated in the counties of Warwickshire or Staffordshire, where such place names were common.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Littlepage surname can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Staffordshire, dating back to 1194. These rolls were legal records that documented financial transactions, including land ownership and taxation. The name appears as "de Parva Pagett," which translates to "of Little Paget."

In the 13th century, the surname is documented in the Hundred Rolls of Oxfordshire, with the spelling "Litelpage." These rolls were administrative records that recorded the names of landowners and tenants, as well as details about their holdings.

By the 14th century, the surname had evolved to its more recognizable form of "Littlepage." One notable bearer of this name was John Littlepage, who was born in Worcestershire around 1320. He was a member of the local gentry and held land in the village of Ombersley.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Littlepage family spread across England, with branches established in counties such as Gloucestershire, Berkshire, and Surrey. One prominent member of the family was Sir Richard Littlepage, born in 1585 in Gloucestershire. He was a successful merchant and served as the Sheriff of London in 1625.

In the late 17th century, the Littlepage surname made its way to the American colonies. One of the earliest recorded instances was John Littlepage, who arrived in Virginia from England in 1670. He went on to become a successful planter and landowner in the colony.

Another notable figure was Edmund Littlepage, born in 1737 in Virginia. He was a prominent lawyer and politician, serving as a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and later as a delegate to the Virginia Convention of 1788, where he voted in favor of ratifying the United States Constitution.

Throughout history, the Littlepage surname has been associated with various place names and older spellings.
