- Origins Available:
 England Early Origins of the Brushett familyThe surname Brushett was first found in Suffolk, where the Subsidy Rolls of 1327 include an entry for Alice Brusch. Later the same rolls but in 1524, include entries for John Brosche and Robert Brusshe. 1 Many early surnames were representative of the profession to which the first bearer belonged. The word "brush" was the same in Middle English as it is today, and the name was probably first given to a man who made brushes. 2 3 In Normandy, the Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae lists Robert Bros in 1180 and Richard Broche in 1198 as holding lands there at that time. 4 Early History of the Brushett familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Brushett research.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fuimus
Motto Translation: God and my country.
