Where did the English Rawding family come from? What is the English Rawding family crest and coat of arms? When did the Rawding family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Rawding family history? Spelling variations of this family name include: Roddam, Rodden, Roddan, Roddin, Rodan and others. First found in Northumberland where they held a family seat at Roddam Hall since 1296 when William Roddam had the hall built. John of Roddam held land in Little Houghton in 1337. The Roddam family has held the hall until at least 1776 when it was owned by Admiral Robert Roddam (1719-1808). Roddam is derived from the Old English word "rod" which means "clearing" [1]. Alternatively, the name could have been derived from the place name Rodden in Shropshire. There is also a Rodden river in Shropshire. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Rawding research.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Edward, John, Mary Rodden, who all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1870; John Roddan settled in Philadelphia in 1833; Homer Rodan settled in Virginia in 1698.. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Nec deficit alter Motto Translation: Another succeeds.
