 Butterwick migration to the United States | + |
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Butterwicks to arrive on North American shores:
Butterwick Settlers in United States in the 18th Century- Hans Butterwick, aged 17, who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1741 2

Butterwick Settlers in United States in the 20th Century- Clara Butterwick, aged 29, who landed in America, in 1902

Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include: Butterwick Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century- Miss Margaret Butterwick, (b. 1841), aged 22, British domestic servant travelling from Gravesend aboard the ship "Lancashire Witch" arriving in Lyttelton, Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand on 13th October 1863 3
