Draper

The Draper Family of North Carolina is represented here by Lord Timothy, Barony of Wolfscrape and Seneschal of Draper. The family name Draper is one of the oldest Anglo-Saxon names of Britain. It was originally a name for a person who worked as a maker or seller of woolen cloth. The surname Draper is derived from the Old French word drapier and the Anglo-French word draper, which both have this meaning. The word was recorded in Old English as early as 1376.
