Ichabod's father Hope Lothrop's family as well as Ichabod's own family is recorded in the town of Tolland, Connecticut as Lothrop and both Ichabod and his father Hope wrote their handwritten wills under the surname of Lothrop and signed their names by the surname of Lothrop.

The surname Lathrop did not appear until shortly before the Rev. War when a descendant of the extended Samuel Lothrop family of Norwich, Conn. became convinced that the real surname of their immigrant New England ancestor, Rev. John Lothrop last of Barnstable, Mass. was "Lathrop." Samuel Lothrop who settled in Norwich by circa 1680 was of Rev. John Lothrop's family by his first wife. Hope Lothrop, Ichabod's father, was of the large family of Rev. John Lothrop by his second wife. The Lothrop family that remained in Barnstable until after 1720 before migrating to towns in Connecticut other than Norwich never adopted the surname of Lathrop.
