NOTES AND QUERIES. [12S. X.JAN. 7, 1922. Thomas (the first of the name) was the great cabinet-maker, and whose Christian name ended with the death of his eldest son Thomas, who was baptized at St. Paul's, Covent Garden, April 23, 1749, and died s.p. circa 1820. This will be made, no doubt, clearer to your readers if the editor will kindly allow me to insert the following short and direct pedigree, omitting all col- lateral descendants : John Ghippindale of Farnley, Otley ; bur. at Otley, Aug. 8, 1708. John of Farnley, carpenter ; bap. at Otley, Jan. 30, 1658/9; bur. at Otley, Oct. 11, 1727 (will dated June 17, 1727). John of Otley, joiner: bap. at Otley, Mar, 7, 1690/1 (called "eldest son " in his father's will.) Margaret . . . bur. at Otley, Jan. 26, 1668/9. Rebeeca Shave, mar. at Guiseley, Feb. 2, 1685/6; bur. at Otley, Feb. 1, 1746/7. Mary Drake, dau. of Thomas Drake, of Otley, mason; mar. at Otley, July 3, 1715; bur. at Otley, Feb. 28, 1728/9. THOMAS CHIPPENDALE of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, cabinet-maker ; bap. at Otley, June 5, 17J8; died intestate; administration granted, Dec. 1 6, 1779; bur. at St. Martin's, Nov. 13, 1779. (i.) Catherine Redshaw of St. Martin's-in-the- Fields ; mar. at St. George's Chapel, Hyde Park, May 19, 1748; bur. at St. Martin's, Sept. 7, 1772. (ii.) Elizabeth (late Davis), mar. at Fulham, Axig. 5, 1777 (named as "the relict" in intestacy pro- ceedings.) Thomas of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields ; bap. at St. Paul's, Covent Garden, April 23, 1749 (lived at 69, Haymarket in 1817); died c. 1820 s.p. Ann Whitehead, mar. at St. Martin's, July 16, 1793. From this we learn that there are no longer, as we supposed, three Thomas Chip- pendales to be considered, and that it is the first of- this name, not the second, that was in reality the subject of my previous article, being in all probability named after his maternal grandfather, Thomas Drake, as that Christian name appears nowhere else in this Chippendale pedigree that Colonel Chippindall has compiled. From Colonel Chippindall's and Mr. A. W. Chippindale's later researches we also learn that the name now accepted as Chip- pendale admitted of an immense variety. From a list the latter has kindly lent me I note that over eighty varieties of the spelling occur, mostly from Lancashire, Yorkshire, and neighbouring localities, and ranging down the centuries from Chipindale, 1307 ; Chepyngdale-, 1379 (this occurs again in 1535); Chipindall, 1597; Chipen-
- dell, 1637; Chipindayll, 1703; whilst,
strange to say, one of the most ancient (1258) and the most modern are the same Chippendale. This strange coincidence is repeated again in the place-names, which, though naturally not so numerous, show much the same variety of spelling. Chipinden and Chippenden occur in Domesday Book ( 1085) ; and Chippendale in 1102; Cepndel, 1102; Chepyngdale, 1230 ; Chippendal and Chipin- dale, 1258 ; Chippingdale, 1296 ; Chypyn- dale, 1352 ; Chippyndale and Chippingdon, temp. Elizabeth. The name would seem to have originated in the little valley of Chippingdale, a place- name which is mentioned in the earliest Pipe Roll relating to Lancashire, in the reign of Henry I. In the thirteenth century the name began to be used as a surname, as in a charter, without date but between 1230-1256, Robert signs as "persona de Chippingdale " (see Cheetham Society's N.S., vol. xxvi., pp. 165-6), and in 1246-7
