Ruald was a companion of William the Conqueror. Lovecote, or loveCottage as it
was called was given to Ruald (who held the Manor of Lovecote at thetime of the
Domesday Book in 1066) and held by the Lippincotts in the line ofsuccession. the
earliest notice of Lovecote is to be found in 1080 in the domesdayBook (Census)
made by order of William the Conqueror of lands held b y King Edwardthe
Confessor 1041/1066. Following is a translation of the entry on page115 of Vol I of
this first census of England: "Ruald himself held Lovecote. Lofe heldit in the time of
Edward the Confessor, paying geld (tax) on a half vergate of land, nowreturned, s
two ox-gangs or plow-lands. There remain two villani or serf, formerly(time of
Edward) valued at thirty, but now fifty, denarii " A government reportincluded
"Terra Rualdi Adobati in Devensesara" of "lands held by RualdusAdobatus in
Devonshire".
The family of Lippincott derived its name from "Lovecote" seat of thefamily for 350
plus yers. Luffincote, a corruption of the ancient name, is a Parishsome twenty miles
west of Lovecote on the western border of Devon. This Saxon nameimplies that a
Proprietor named Love (Lofe) held the house, cote and lands: hencecalled
Lovecote, which name was probably already ancient. Surnames were notsettled
until about the time of William the conqueror, so Lovecote,Loughsyngcote,
Lyvenscott, Luffincott variations became fixed in Lippincott duringthe past two
centuries. The college of Heralds at London has granted eightdifferenct Coats of
Arms to this family.
The Lovecote estate is located in Devonshire at Highampton, about 30mi southwest
of Webworthy (Wibbery), between Hatherleigh and Holsworthy, in thewest of
Devonshire; in the southwest part of England.
Ruald held thirty manors in Devonshire, as per authority of theDomesday Book and

LIPPINCOTT FAMILY
********************
The family of Lippincott, it is said, took its name from Luffencott, amanor and parish at the western extremity of the county of Devonshire,on the borders of Cornwall, England; which remained their property andthe place of their residence from the time of King Henry III until thesecond year of King Henry V, A. D., 1414, or from 1243, or earlier to1414. One of the family, John Lippincott, between 1430 and 1450,married Jane, daughter and co-heir of John Wyberry, which brought theestate of Wyberrys into the family, and continued their property untilabout 1775, when Henry Lippincott, the last of the branch, sold it toCharles Cartcliff. There is a strong reason to believe that the firstancestor of the numerors family of Lippincotts in America was RichardLippincott, born in Plymouth, Devonshire, England. He emigrated toDorchester, New England, between 1636 and 1640. In 1644 he returned toPlymouth, England, his native land, and about the year 1650 he joinedthe new religious sect, the
Society of Friends, and suffered much therefor. On the 20th ofJanuary, 1660, at Plymouth, he was committed to prison by OliverCreely, mayor, and with others was taken from a meeting house. Howlong he remained in prison we have no account. In 1663 he and hisfamily left England and located themselves in Rhode Island. In 1669 heremoved from Rhode Island and settled in New Jersey, at Shrewsbury, inwhich place he became a large landed proprietor. He died at Shrewsbury25th of 9th month, 1683, and his widow, Abigail Lippincott, died 2d of6th month, 1697.

on the south side of Cohansey river, in Shrewsbury Neck. Previous tothe death of Abigail Lippincott,
the widow of Richard, she liberated all her slaves, which act issufficient to perpetuate her name to
the latest posterity.

The Lippincott family is one of the most numerous in the State of NewJersey.
I will not attempt to follow the different branches further. James S.Lippincott, of Haddonfield,
I have been informed, intends writing a full history of the large andinteresting Lippincott family.

I have recently received information from Gideon Delaphine Scull, nowa resident of England, in regard to the ancestors of his family inEngland. After much investigation he has ascertained that there was aclergyman in London by the name of JohnScull in the reign of CharlesI, and in the year 1630 was repelled from his living by ArchbishopLaud, because he would not conform to the new church rituals. Soonafter that event he left England and went to Holland; he likewisewrites that he recently found a will of Alice Skull, a widow, ofBrinkworth, county of Wiltshire, written in 1649, in which she saysthat it is reported to her that her son, John Scull, has gone intoanother country, and she does not know if he will ever return to claimwhat she leaves him. According to that information,
John Scull must have emigrated from Holland about 1660, and locatedhimself on Long Island, in America. By the records, his son John Sculllocated on a large tract of land at Great Egg Harbor as early as 1690;the said lands lay adjoining John Somers'. John Scull's wife was SarahSomers, and it is probable she was the sister of John Somers. John andSarah Scull had several children. Their son, Gideon, married Judith,the daughter of James and Margery Belange; they had several children.At the first settlement of the province of Pennsylvania there was oneNicholas Scull, an eminent surveyor, who resided in Philadelphia, andwho left a family of children; it does not appear that they are nearconnections of the family that lived at Long Island, and afterwards atEgg Harbor; although they might have originated from the same parentsin England. Respecting the descendants of Nicholas Scull my knowledgeis limited.
There is a record of a family that was buried in Friends' graveyard inPhiladelphia, which says that James Scull, son of Edward and Sarah,was buried 29th of 4th month, 1717. Sarah, the wife of Nicholas Scull;was buried 8th month, 1717. Elizabeth Scull, daughter of James, wasburied 29th of 6th month, 1740. Sarah, the daughter of Joseph Scull,buried 5th month, 1748. Abigail Scull, daughter of the same parents,buried 9th month, 1749. William Scull, son of William, buried 3d of10th month, 1768. Comfort Scull, wife of William, buried 14th of 9thmonth, 1775. Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Scull, was buried 17th of 4thmonth, 1792.

General Notes: Born in 1143, William the Lion was the younger brother of Malcolm IV.A year after his accession, he went to Normandy with Henry II andlater spent Easter 1170 at Windsor. In 1174, however, he joined HenryII's son in his rebellion against his father, and invaded England. Hewas captured at Alnwick, Northumberland and brought to Henry II with'his feet shackled beneath the belly of his horse.' He was then heldprisoner first in Yorkshire, later at Northampton and finally inFrance. He was released by the terms of the Treaty of Falaise of 8December 1174, having been forced to agree to do homage to Henry II'for Scotland and for all his other lands', and surrender key Scottishcastles such as Edinburgh and Stirling.
As William's feudal lord, Henry now had the right to arrange hismarriage, and he gave him Ermengarde de Beaumont, whose father was theson of an illegitimate daughter of Henry I. William eventuallyrecovered Scotland from the English king's feudal overlordship,however, when Henry II was succeeded by Richard I. Richard, determinedto raise money for his third Crusade, surrendered his feudalsuperiority over Scotland for 10,000 merks by the Quitclaim ofCanterbury on 5 December 1189 and Scotland was an independent countryonce more. In 1196-7, William established his sovereignty inCaithness.

Under William, the development of feudal institutions continued; inpart, the Scottish monarchy's government closely resembled England's.William established royal burghs in eastern Scotland up to morayFirth, and extended the use of sheriffs in the same area. Perth andStirling became major centres of royal administration.

William I was a vigorous royal patron of the Scottish Church - hefounded Arbroath Abbey, Angus in or before 1178. In 1182 Pope LuciusIII sent him the Golden Rose and in 1188 Pope Clement III took theScottish Church under his special protection. In 1192, the Popegranted a Bull to William that recognised the separate identity of theScottish Church (previously the Church in Scotland had been broughtunder the authority of the Archbishop of York), and its independenceof all ecclesiastical authorities apart from Rome. Gervase ofCanterbury described William as 'a man of outstanding sanctity ...much preferring to have peace than the sword and to provide for hispeople by wisdom rather than iron'. William died at Stirling on 4December 1214, aged 71, and was buried at Arbroath

General Notes: The parentage of this Harding (living c. 1125) has been long and hotlydisputed. He has been termed "son of the King of Denmark " (as in thepetition of 1661), " Mayor of Bristol, " and so forth. The view nowgenerally accepted is that he was the soil of Eadnoth (killed 1068),"Staller" to King Harold and to
Edward the Confessor. E.A. Freeman pronounces this descent "in thehighest degree probable. " Eyton (in his Shropshire) devoted muchattention to the subject. Reference may also be made to the valuableresearches of A. S. Ellis, and to Greenfield's most valuable Pedigreeof Meriet, tracing the descent of that family from Nicholas de Meriet,elder br. to Robert fitz Harding.

"the King's Chamberlain" in 1112 and was created Lord GreatChamberlain of
England in 1133. As such he attended King Stephen at Westminster andat
Winchester in 1136. All subsequent holders of this great office ofstate were
his descendants. His daughter Rohesia married Geoffrey de Mandeville,1st Earl
of Essex, and it is thought that this connection (Essex was extremelyunpopular
in London) may have contributed to Aubrey's death in a riot in Londonin 1141.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Henry I was Duke of Normandy from 1106-1135 and King of England from1100-1135. William I left Normandy to his oldest son Robert IICurthose and England to his next oldest son, William II Rufus. Henrywas left great wealth and eventually outmanuvered his brothers tobecome King of England in 1100 and ruled 35 years. Henry is rememberedfor expanding and strengthening royal justice, integrating the Normanand Anglo-Saxon legal systems, and laying the foundation for morecentralized royal rule. "The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages" NormanF. Cantor, General Editor

Reigned 1100-1135. Duke of Normandy 1106-1135. His reign is notablefor important legal and administrative reforms, and for the finalresolution of the investitiure controversy. Abroad, he waged severalcampaigns in order to consolidate and expand his continentalpossessions. Was so hated by his brothers that they vowed todisinherit him. In 1106 he captured Robert and held him til he died.He proved to be a hard but just ruler. He aparently died from overeating Lampreys!

PETER of BLOIS, 1070-1117 AD
on Henry I
From Ingulf's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland with the Continuationof Peter of Blois

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
William was succeeded on the throne by his brother Henry, a young manof extreme beauty, and, from his acquaintance with literature, muchmore astute than his two brothers, and better fitted, for reigning:his brother Robert being at this time in the Holy Land most valiantlyfighting in the army of the Christians against the Turks and Saracens.He was crowned by Thomas, the archbishop of York, because, at thisperiod, Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury was in exile Receiving royalhomage and the oaths of fealty from. all, he immediately gave libertyto the Church, and forbade depraved customs and injurious exactions toprevail; besides which, he threw the said Ranulph, who was the authorof them, into prison, and, dispatching a messenger, recalled thearchbishop Anselm from exile.

Led astray and seduced by the bad counsels of the said most wickedRanulph, king William, on the day of his death, held in his own handsthe archbishopric of Canterbury, besides four other bishoprics, andeleven abbeys, all of which he let out to farm. He was the first ofall the kings who placed the receipts on account of rent of all thevacant churches in his treasury y; whereas his father invariably, andwith the greatest piety, in the same manner as all the other kings ofEngland, his predecessors, had been in the habit of repaying all rentsand profits of that nature, in the case of vacant churches, to theprelates who were the first to succeed, and had to the very lastfarthing accounted, through faithful servants, for the whole thereof.But as for him, after keeping all these dignities for a long time inhis own hands for no good reason whatever, and frequently makinggrants of them to farmers and usurious Jews, under color of employinglong deliberation in the choice of a proper pastor, he repeatedly putthem up to auction among the most ambitious and most wealthy of theclergy; and at last, on finding a well-filled purse as the result,asserting that all sanctity lay in that, he openly declared that thatwas the only deserving prelate. In this state of things, it was amatter greatly to be commended that, being confined to his bed andalmost despairing of his life, on the decease of Lanfranc, thevenerable archbishop Canterbury, a man of most holy life, as well asskilled in all branches of literature, he appointed the venerableAnselm, abbot of Bec, in Normandy, to the archbishopric of Canterbury,in a devout manner, and without any imputation of simony.

The before-named Ranulph, however, made his escape by certaininiquitous means from prison, and repaired to Normandy, and in everyway encouraged the duke thereof, Robert, the king's brother, who onhearing of the death of his brother William had immediately returnedfrom Palestine, to invade England. Accordingly, after the duke hadlevied a large army, and had come to the sea-shore, while the king, onthe other hand, had strengthened the southern coasts of his kingdomwith troops innumerable (being determined, once for all, to conquerand reign, or else to lose the kingdom and perish), archbishop Anselmand other men of character, who were promoters of peace, acting asmediators between them, brought about an arrangement upon thefollowing terms; that the king should pay each year a compensation ofthree thousand pounds of silver, and that lasting peace shouldthenceforth be established between them. However, in after years, theduke, ill-advisedly, forgave this annual payment; and besides, heacted unwisely towards the natives [of Normandy], and those subject tohim; upon which the king repaired to Normandy, and taking his brotherprisoner in a pitched battle, kept him in prison to the day of hisdeath, and united the whole of Normandy to his own kingdom.

The king, having gained this victory, and being instructed by therepeated exhortations of the archbishop Anselm, remitted for ever hisright of investiture of churches by ring and pastoral staff, aquestion which had for a long time harassed the Church; while heretained in his own hand and excepted solely his royal privileges.

The following is taken from the Monarchs of England UK site.

Henry I
William's younger brother Henry (reigned 1100-35) succeeded to thethrone. He was crowned three days after his brother's death, againstthe possibility that his eldest brother Robert might claim the Englishthrone. After the decisive battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 in France,Henry completed his conquest of Normandy from Robert, who then(unusually even for that time) spent the last 28 years of his life ashis brother's prisoner. An energetic, decisive and occasionally cruelruler, Henry centralized the administration of England and Normandy inthe royal court, using 'viceroys' in Normandy and a group of advisersin England to act on his behalf when he was absent across the Channel.Henry successfully sought to increase royal revenues, as shown by theofficial records of his exchequer (the Pipe Roll of 1130, the firstexchequer account to survive). He established peaceful relations withScotland, through his marriage to Mathilda of Scotland.

Henry's name 'Beauclerc' denoted his good education (as the youngestson, his parents possibly expected that he would become a bishop);Henry was probably the first Norman king to be fluent in English. In1120, his legitimate sons William and Richard drowned in the WhiteShip which sank in the English Channel. This posed a successionproblem, as Henry never allowed any of his illegitimate children toexpect succession to either England or Normandy. Henry had alegitimate daughter Matilda (widow of Emperor Henry V, subsequentlymarried to the Count of Anjou). However, it was his nephew Stephen(reigned 1135-54), son of William the Conqueror's daughter Adela, whosucceeded Henry after his death allegedly caused by eating too manylampreys (fish) in 1135, as the barons mostly opposed the idea of afemale ruler.
1068-1135, king of England (1100-1135), youngest son of William I. Hewas called Henry Beauclerc because he could write. He quarreled withhis elder brothers, William II of England and Robert II, duke ofNormandy, and attempted with little success to
establish a territorial base for himself on the Continent. WhenWilliam II was killed, Henry seized the treasury and had himselfelected and crowned king while Robert was away on crusade. Henryissued a charter promising to right injustices inflicted
by William and to refrain from unjust demands on the church and thebarons. He also recalled Anselm from exile. His marriage (1100) toEdith (thereafter known as Matilda), daughter of Malcolm III ofScotland and niece of Edgar Atheling, gained him some
popularity with his English (as opposed to Norman) subjects. Robertinvaded England in 1101, but the brothers reached an agreement bywhich Robert renounced his claim to the English throne in return forthe promise of a pension and the surrender of
Henry's possessions in Normandy. In the succeeding years Henrydefeated and banished Robert's leading supporters in England. He theninvaded (1105) Normandy, defeated (1106) Robert at Tinchebrai, andbecame duke of Normandy. In the meantime Henry had
become involved in a quarrel with Anselm over the lay investiture ofbishops and abbots. In a compromise settlement (1107) the king gave upinvestiture but retained the right to receive homage from theprelates. Henry's reign continued to be troubled
by uprisings in Normandy centering about Robert's son and encouragedby Louis VI of France, who was almost constantly at war with Henry.Henry's only legitimate son, William Atheling, was drowned (1120), andHenry I's second marriage was childless. The
latter years of his reign were marked therefore by his attempts tosecure the succession for his daughter Matilda. Henry's reign inEngland was one of order and progress. Royal justice was strengthenedand expanded; the Norman legal system gradually
fused with the old Anglo-Saxon. The first of the extant pipe rolls andthe first appearance of the court of Exchequer date from this reign.

Henry I was born in the year 1068---a factor he himself regarded ashighly significant, for he was the only son of the Conqueror bornafter the conquest of England, and to Henry this meant he was heir tothe throne. He was not an attractive proposition: he was dissolute toa degree, producing at least a score of bastards; but far worse he wasprone to sadistic cruelty---on one occasion, for example, personallypunishing a rebellious burgher by throwing him from the walls of histown.

At the death of William the Conqueror, Henry was left no lands, merely5,000 pounds of silver. With these he bought lands from his elderbrother Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, only to see them taken backagain a few years later by Robert, in unholy alliance with his brotherWilliam Rufus.

Henry could do little to avenge such treatment, but in England hefound numerous barons who were tired of the exactions and ambitions oftheir king. He formed alliances with some of these, notably with theimportant de Clare family. He and some of the de Clares were withWilliam Rufus on his last hunting expedition, and it is thought thatthe king's death was the result of Henry's plotting.

Certainly he moved fast to take advantage of it; leaving Rufus's bodyunattended in the woods, he swooped down on Winchester to take controlof the treasury. Two days later he was in Westminster, being crownedby the Bishop of London. His speed is understandable when one realisesthat his elder brother, Robert [Curthose], was returning from thecrusade, and claimed, with good reason, to be the true heir.

Henry showed great good sense in his first actions as King. Hearrested Ranulph Flambard, William's tax-gatherer, and recalledAnselm, the exiled Archbishop. Furthermore, he issued a Charter ofLiberties which promised speedy redress of grievances, and a return tothe good government of the Conqueror. Putting aside for the moment hismany mistresses, he married the sister of the King of Scots, who wasdescended from the royal line of Wessex; and lest the Norman baronsshould think him too pro-English in this action, he changed her namefrom Edith to Matilda. No one could claim that he did not aim toplease.

In 1101 Robert Curthose invaded, but Henry met him at Alton, andpersuaded him to go away again by promising him an annuity of £2,000.He had no intention of keeping up the payments, but the problem wastemporarily solved.

He now felt strong enough to move against dissident barons who mightgive trouble in the future. Chief amongst these was the vicious Robertof Bellême, Earl of Shrewsbury, whom Henry had known for many years asa dangerous troublemaker. He set up a number of charges against him inthe king's court, making it plain that if he appeared for trial hewould be convicted and imprisoned. Thus Robert and his colleagues wereforced into rebellion at a time not of their own choosing, were easilydefeated and sent scuttling back to Normandy.

In Normandy Robert Curthose began to wreak his wrath on all connectedwith his brother, thus giving Henry an excellent chance to retaliatewith charges of misgovernment and invade. He made two expeditions in1104-5, before the great expedition of 1106 on which Robert wasdefeated at the hour-long battle of Tinchebrai, on the anniversary ofHastings. No one had expected such an easy victory, but Henry tookadvantage of the state of shock resulting from the battle to annexNormandy. Robert was imprisoned (in some comfort, it be said); helived on for 28 more years, ending up in Cardiff castle whiling awaythe long hours learning Welsh. His son William Clito remained a freeagent, to plague Henry for most of the rest of his reign.

In England the struggle with Anselm over the homage of bishops ran itscourse until the settlement of 1107. In matters of secular governmentlife was more simple: Henry had found a brilliant administrator, Rogerof Salisbury, to act as Justiciar for him. Roger had an inventivemind, a keen grasp of affairs, and the ability to single out young menof promise. He quickly built up a highly efficient team ofadministrators, and established new routines and forms of organisationwithin which they could work. To him we owe the Exchequer and itsrecording system of the Pipe Rolls, the circuits of royal justiciarsspreading the king's peace, and the attempts at codification of law.Henry's good relationships with his barons, and with the burgeoningnew towns owed much to skilful administration. Certainly he was ableto gain a larger and more reliable revenue this way than by the crudeextortion his brother had used.

In 1120 came the tragedy of the White Ship. The court was returning toEngland, and the finest ship in the land was filled with its youngmen, including Henry's son and heir William. Riotously drunk, theytried to go faster and faster, when suddenly the ship foundered. Allhands except a butcher of Rouen were lost, and England was without anheir.

Henry's only legitimate child was Matilda, but she was married to theEmperor Henry V of Germany, and so could not succeed. But in 1125 herhusband died, and Henry brought her home and forced the barons toswear fealty to her---though they did not like the prospect of a womanruler. Henry then married her to Geoffrey of Anjou, the Normans'traditional enemy, and the barons were less happy---especially whenthe newly-weds had a terrible row, and Geoffrey ordered her out of hislands. In 1131 Henry, absolutely determined, forced the barons toswear fealty once more, and the fact that they did so is testimoney ofhis controlling power. Matilda and Geoffrey were reunited, and in 1133she produced a son whom she named for his grandfather. If only Henrycould live on until his grandson was old enough to rule, all would bewell.

But in 1135, against doctor's orders, he ate a hearty meal oflampreys, got acute indigestion, which turned into fever, and died. Hewas buried at his abbey in Reading---some said in a silver coffin, forwhich there was an unsuccessful search at the Dissolution.
