What Are The Exact Roots Of Our Surname?
by Christopher BlodgettThe Blodgett (de Blogate) name is of Norman origin and although ancestors did not come
to England with William the Conqueror, they probably followed during the 100-150 year
period thereafter. The name is analogous with Colgate, Westgate, Highgate, etc. The "gate"
suffix means a pass through the mountains, the "blo" is less certain, and could mean (1)
blowy or Windy, (2) a contraction for belleau, the French word for beautiful. Hence, for
Blogate, one can derive (1) a blowy or windy pass through the mountains, or (2) a beautiful
pass through the mountain. Perhaps both. Names originally designated a person living in the
locale described.The Blodgett name is not entitled to a coat of arms. None is registered in the College of
Heraldry, London, England. Blodgetts' of this day were of the artisan-merchant class. The
last four generations prior to immigration to America were glove makers, innkeepers, and
farmers. (I) Argent three bugle horns sable, or stringed. This is as close as there is to an
ancient Blodgett coat of arms; apparently having been used when occasionally a daughter
married into the nobility. (II) Per pale ermine and erminois an elephant rampant gules. In
chief three fleurs de Lys azure. Crest: A coronet, Motto: Semper Paratus. (See Bolton,
American Armory p-17, taken from a watercolor given to the New England Historic
Genealogical Society by Mrs. William Blodgett, Chestnut Hill, Mass.) Origin of this before
the watercolor is unknown. Indications are it is of comparative recent origin but has been
used by at least one branch of the American family. Several other coats of arms are
designated and sold as Blodgett coat of arms by commercial firms.At least one source (Holms) lists Robert Bloet as the original occurence of the name
Blodgett in England. Robert Bloet was Chancellor of England circa 1088-1094 under King
William II Rufus, and later second Bishop of Lincoln. He died 10th of Jan. 1123 suddenly,
while riding with the king in a deer-fold near Woodstock.An unknown de Blogate, born about 1170, died about 1210, left a widow, Rose, who about
1248, sold land in Athelington to her son Hugh de Blogate. Hugh sold it to a brother
Richard. This property became the subject of a lawsuit claiming that Rose only had dower
rights and could not dispose of the property. This litigation lasted three generations and in
1272 involved Matilda and Philip, children of Hugh, and in 1323, Richard, son of Philip.Hugh de Blogate 1272-1330 Suffolk, England probably had as a wife, Hawys de Blogate.
Their son Richard married a daughter of Robert de Thorpe, Lord of Westthorpe in Norfolk,
& Beatrix de Hengrave. These are the first definite instances of the family. Richard's eldest
son Geoffrey de Blogate, left extensive estates to his only daughter Joan, who married Sir
Ralph de Hemenhale. The de Blogate estates eventually reverted to John de Blogate, a
great grandson of Richard de Blogate, and a grand nephew of Geoffrey, above. In 1428 John
de Blogate became Lord of Westthorpe in Norfolk, inheriting several of the ancient de
Blogate lands in Suffolk. Another John de Blogate of Yaxley, Suffolk, quartered the Blodgett
coat of arms (I) mentioned above at the marriage of his daughter Jane to John Herbert of
Yaxley. This John's descendants rose to prominence in Suffolk by the time of Elizabeth I and
married into the peerage. An Edmond de Blogate, gentleman of Stowlangtoft, Suffolk died
circa 1523, but it is recorded his daughter Elizabeth married James Noon of Norfolk.The de Blogate, Blowgate, Blogget, Blodgett ancestors of Thomas, the immigrant, lived in
the western part of County Suffolk, at Stowmarket and Haughley, villages about two miles
apart and 10-12 miles northwest of Lpswich. Thomas, the immigrant, was the great grandson
of Thomas Blogate (Blodgett) of Haughley born about 1490, died in 1560. This Thomas
Blogate could be a son, grandson or nephew of the foregoing, but the relationship, is not
established. His will provides he be buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's in Hawley and
makes his son, Robert, executor of his will. Robert died in 1602 leaving a will and his son,
Robert II, father of Thomas, the immigrant, moved from Naughley to Stowmarket 17 May
1597. Robert II died in 1625 at Stowmarket.
