The history of the last name RedEagle

The surname REDEAGLE has its origins in England, where it first appeared in the late 16th century. It is believed to be derived from the Old English words "read" (meaning red) and "egle" (meaning eagle), likely referring to a red eagle found on a family crest or coat of arms.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name REDEAGLE can be found in the parish records of St. Mary's Church in Warwick, where a Thomas Redeagle was baptized in 1587. Another early reference comes from the tax rolls of Oxfordshire in 1612, which list a William Redeagle as a landowner in the village of Bloxham.

In the 17th century, the name REDEAGLE began to spread beyond its initial localized area in the Midlands. Notable individuals from this time period include John REDEAGLE (1632-1703), a merchant and alderman in the city of Bristol, and Mary REDEAGLE (1648-1721), who was accused of witchcraft in the town of Taunton but ultimately acquitted.

During the 18th century, the REDEAGLE family continued to establish themselves in various parts of England. Edward REDEAGLE (1718-1792) was a renowned clockmaker in London, while Samuel REDEAGLE (1732-1807) was a prominent solicitor in Nottingham.

As the British Empire expanded in the 19th century, some members of the REDEAGLE family ventured to other parts of the world. One such individual was Thomas REDEAGLE (1802-1876), who emigrated to Australia in 1838 and became a successful sheep farmer in the colony of New South Wales.

Another notable figure was Elizabeth REDEAGLE (1843-1912), a pioneering female journalist and suffragette who wrote extensively on women's rights and social issues in Victorian England.
