Mary Redpath, (2x gg)

GEDCOM Note

Redpaths: Northumbrian Anglo Saxons, concentrated in the area ­Berwick-on-Tweed, Norham-on-Tweed and Wooler -and penetrating to Alnwick. The Saxons came in long boats like the craft the fishermen in the North East use today, settled in the vicinity of the estuaries of the Tweed, Aln, Blyth and Tyne.

The name was derived from Redden (Rhieden), 'to cut'; peth (paedth)-pith, 'a way'. Saxons with 'redd', 'rod' or 'rad' in their names were mainly advisers to the King. The name probably meaning a woodcutter and carpenter, is pronounced 'repeth' in Northumberland and 'rippeth' on the Scottish side of the Tweed.

In the l3th-l4th century, the head of the clan was one William Redpath. His home was Redpath Castle at Redpath (still a hamlet with a small number of cottages and farms).
