In the brand name 'Pepperidge Farm' what is a pepperidge?

Kainantu

"Pepperidge Farm", is a baking business started by a Margaret Rudkin. It became a subsidiary of the Campbell Soup Company in 1960, "Pepperidge Farm" is named after her family's farm in Fairfield, Connecticut. http://www.pepperidgefarm.com/history.asp My best guess is that pepperidge refers to the Pepperell (Pepperrell} family of Fairfield, whose home might have been on a ridge. http://www.fairfieldct.org/information.htm Margaret Rudkin was a Fogarty, so there might be another family link to the Pepperidge family line or they just happened to have bought and lived in a Pepperell home. http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlcar2/people.htm May 17 04, 6:13 AM
