REF BlakeG. The original Welsh spelling of Blake was Aplake,
meaning "the family on or by the lake." Other Gaelic Welsh
spellings were Mcplake, MacPlake, and A'Plake. The Celtic
spelling was O'Plake. Eventually, the spelling of A'Plake
changed to Blaake, and finally to Blake. The prefixes Ap and O'
means "from son of.." The Blake's of Galway, Ireland, were one
of the fourteen Tribes of Galway.
Richard Cadel, a feudatory of the Earl of Ulster and Lord of
Connaught, Richard De Burgh, migrated to Galway from Wales
before the year 1277. In 1277, the sixth year of his reign,
King Edward I knighted Cadel "Sir Richard Blake". Cadel assumed
the surname of Blake and was the ancestor of all the familes of
Blake in Connaught. However, for many generations they used the
name of Caddell as an alias.
In 1278, the castle and lands of Kiltorroge, castle and land of
Sallim'croe (now Carmore) located in Dunkellin County, Galway
were granted to Cadel by De Burgh. By 1315 he had received the
lands and manor of Kiltullagh. Eveline, his wife, was the
mother of four sons, Walter, John, Nicholas, and Valentine.
Records have been documented of this line to 1878 in Ireland.
Thus; Richard Cadel is considered to be the progenitor of all
the Blake descendants.
I went to the genealogy library and made a copy of information on the
surname Caddell. This is from, The Surnames of Scotland, by George
Black.
Cadell, Caddell. This name is a form of Calder, q.v. Innes says (p. 45)
the northern Cawdors were disguised as Cadells and de Cadella even in
old Scots chroniclers, and they have kept that variety permanently in
the South. Johne Cawdale, sone and apperand air to James Cawdale of
Aslovne, who had a remission in 1536 (Trials, I, p.248) is most likely
John Calder of Aslowne, 1558, referred to in the same year as John
Caddell (ER., XIX, p. 78, 426). Issobell Cattall in Edinburgh, 1530
(MCM., II, p.105), And John Caldaile in Aberdeen had to find surety in
the same year (CRA., p. 138). Hectoure Caddell and Robert Caddell and
others made a raid on the lands of Ardwale in Banff, 1600 (RPC., VI, p.
135), and William Cadall was tenant under the marquis of Huntlie in same
year (SCM., IV, p. 262). Several of this name appear in Kilmadock parish
in seventeenth century (Dunblane), and the name was common in Edinburgh
in the sixteenth century (Edinb. Marr.). George Caddell was paid ten
pounds Scots of assythment in 1724 (Urie, p. 124). Cadell of Cockenzie
is principal family of the name.
Calder. Hugh de Kaledouer witnessed a charter by William the Lion at
Munros (Montrose), c. 1178-98 (RAA., I, 76), and the gift of a toft in
Forfar to Willelmus de Haia by the same king (SCM., II, p. 304). In the
same reign he granted forty acres in Buthyrgasc to the Abbey of Scone
(Scon, p. 19), and witnessed a charter by Swan filius Thori (ibid., p.
18). Donald of Calder, lord of that Ilk, acquired half of Dolmaglas
(Dunmaglas) in 1419 (Cawdor, p. 6-8) from William Meignes, being
previously owner of the other half. Farchardus de Caldor was
prebendarius de Crechmont, 1461 (REA., II, p. 91), and John Calder, Bute
Pursuivant in 1589, appears again in 1591 as John Cadder (ER., XXII, p.
16, 175). Calder and Caddell , Caithness surnames, are from Calder or
Cawdor. Calder in Caithness "in its older form of Caldell, is of
considerable antiquity, and in the middle of the seventeenth century few
names in the county are of more frequent occurrence" (Henderson,
Caithness families, p. 209). Johannes Cauder in Murthlac, and George
Caulder in Petglasse appear in 1550 (Illus., II, p. 261). William
Musgrave Calder, U.S. Senator, was grandson of Scots from Aberdeen.
