Where did the English Standage family come from? What is the English Standage family crest and coat of arms? When did the Standage family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Standage family history? The ancestors of the Standage family brought their name to England in the wave of migration after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived at Standish in Gloucestershire.Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Standage were recorded, including Standish, Standishe, Standich, Standidge and others. First found in Gloucestershire where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. Conjecturally they are descended from Earl Hugh of Standish, who was undertenant of the Archbishop of York. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Standage research.

The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Standage arrived in North America very early: Dorothy Standich who settled in Virginia in 1635; Sarah Standidge settled in New England in 1753; James Standish settled in Virginia in 1623; George Standish with his wife Dorothy settled in Virginia in 1643. and Captain Miles Standish sailed on the "Mayflower" in 1620.
