Where did the English Seabaugh family come from? What is the English Seabaugh family crest and coat of arms? When did the Seabaugh family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Seabaugh family history?

In ancient Anglo-Saxon England, the ancestors of the Seabaugh surname lived in Sebright in the county of Essex which was later known as Great Seabright in Great Beddow in Essex. This surname is also of patronymic origin in that it was originally derived from the baptismal name Seabert, taken from the Old English personal name Saebeorht. Baptismal names began to appear as surnames relatively late in the growth of the naming tradition. This is a little surprising, given the popularity of biblical figures in the Christian countries of Europe. Nevertheless, surnames derived from baptismal names grew in popularity during the Middle Ages, and have become one of the foremost sources for surnames.

It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Seabaugh are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Seabaugh include: Seabright, Sebright, Seabricks, Sebricks and others.

First found in Essex where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the census rolls taken by the ancient Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Seabaugh or a variant listed above: Joseph Seabright who arrived in Maryland in 1774.
