Where did the English Boswood family come from? What is the English Boswood family crest and coat of arms? When did the Boswood family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Boswood family history? The roots of the Anglo-Saxon name Boswood come from when the family resided in one of two parishes called Bosworth: Husband's Bosworth; and Market Bosworth, in the county of Leicestershire.The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Boswood has been recorded under many different variations, including Bosworth, Bossworth, Bosworthe, Boseworth and others. First found in Leicestershire, where they had been settled from ancient times, long before the Norman Conquest in 1066. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Boswood research.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Boswood or a variant listed above: Henry Bosworth who settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1765; Zack Bosworth who settled in Boston in 1620; and later moved to Salem in 1630; Captain Bosworth settled in Boston in 1767. 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: Animus valet Motto Translation: Courage availeth.
The Boswood Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Boswood Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 28 September 2012 at 14:32. ©2000-2013 Swyrich Corporation.
