 England
The ancestors of the Saddingtolm family brought their name to England in the wave of migration after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived in Leicestershire, at Sadington, from whence they took their name. Early Origins of the Saddingtolm familyThe surname Saddingtolm was first found in Leicestershire where they held a family seat as Lords of the manor of Sadington, a village and parish in that shire. At the time of the taking of the Domesday Book, 1 a census initiated by Duke William of Normandy in 1086 after his conquest of England at Hastings in 1066, in the survey Sadington was shown to be King's land, and consisted of a mill, and a hamlet. The village was anciently called Setintone in pre-conquest days. 2 One of the first records of the family was Sir Robert de Sadington (fl. 1340), English Chancellor, "was no doubt a native of Sadington in Leicestershire, and perhaps a son of John de Sadington, a valet of Isabella, wife of Edward II." 3 He may be the Robert de Sadington who was named by Joan de Multon to seek and receive her dower in chancery in January 1317. On 20 March 1334 he was appointed Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and appears to have been the first chief Baron who was summoned to parliament by that title.

For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames.

Early Notables of the Saddingtolm familyOutstanding amongst the family at this time was John Saddington (c.1634-1679), a Muggletonian writer and London sugar merchant, originally from Arnesby, Leicestershire.

Migration of the Saddingtolm familyThe unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Saddingtolm arrived in North America very early: Jonas Saddington who settled in Virginia in 1637; Thomas Saddington settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1880.
