This is a small excerpt from our full listing of settlers for the name Bentham. Our PDF Extended History provide the complete listing from our dbase of over 500,000 settlers!
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants:
Bentham Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
- Matthew Bentham who settled in Barbados in 1679
Bentham Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
- James Bentham and family settled in South Carolina in 1820
