LIGHTFOOT/WHITFORD FAMILY LINE

It's pretty easy to see the evolution of this name in just two generations: Lightfoot (and its variations) became Whitefoot became Whitfoot (and itÕs variations) and finally became Whitford. Blancpied (French for "Whitefoot"), interestingly enough, was a later variation. I find it interesting that 19th & early 20th century genealogists omitted references to the more native-sounding "Lightfoot" in favor of the decidedly English-sounding "Whitford" when discussing this family. It made research difficult until the advent of vital records on CD-ROM. Be sure to check under both names when researching these first few generations of this family. Name variations include: Blancpied, Lightfoot, Lightfoote, Littfoot, Whitford, Whitefoot, Whitfoot, Witfoot, Witford. A Danvers line later shortened this surname to White.
