Historical References
"STANHOPE. A surname most probably assumed from Stanhope in Tweeddale, but it does not appear that those lands ever were possessed by persons of the name (Stodart). Thomas of Stanhope was a resident near there in 1471, and a family of Stanhope possessed Stanhope's Mylne near Edinburgh at the beginning of the seventeenth century. John of Stanhope appears in that quarter in 1479-88 893. Henry Stanehops is recorded in Edinburgh in 1627 (Edinb. Man-.). Stanehop, Stanehope 1806, Stenhop 1607, Stanhopes 1627. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
