Edgecumbe Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Edgecombe,' an estate in the parish of Milton Abbot, Devon The earldom springs from the same property.
William de Egghacombe, Devon, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
The earl of Mount-Edgecumbe's family were in possession of Eggcombe or Edgcumbe, an estate in the parish of Milton-Abbot, co. Devon, as early as the XIII. century. C. S. Gilbert's Cornwall, i. 444, note.
Local. From the manor of Edgecumbe, in Devonshire, England. The name signifies, "the edge of the valley."
In 1086 Milton with Lideton, Devon, belonged to Tavistock Abbey. Goisfrid then held them, from whom descended Reginald de Lideton, who 1165 held two fees from Tavistock (Liber Niger). Eggecumbe, a dependency of Lideton, was probably held by a younger branch of the De Lidetons or Liftons, as the arms are of the same origin. It appears that the Lidetons and Chanceaux, who were lords of Lideton, were the same. John de Eggecumbe (the first probably who bore the name) lived t. Henry III. Chanceaux was in Touraine; and of the English branch are mentioned Geoffry, Giles, and John de Cancellis, or Chanceaux, of whom the last named surrendered Lifton to Edward I. (Pole, Devon).
Edgecombe: The Edgecombes, of Cotele in Calstock, and of Mount Edgecumbe in Maker, have a very distinguished history, and were sixteen times sheriff of Cornwall and Devon from 1487 to 1640 (G.) In the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, the Edgecombes were Tavistock merchants (Worth's "Tavistock Records").
