One Cadman line can be traced back to William the First of England the Conqueror. The family line come down through the Earl of Derwentwater who was created in the Peerage of England in 1688. It was forfeit in 1716 due to the treason of the 3rd Earl, who was beheaded due to his role in the Jacobite Rising of 1715. The Earls bore the subsidiary titles of Viscount Radclyffe and Langley (1688) and Baron Tyndale (1688), both of which became forfeit along with the earldom.
