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

The origins of the Daintry name come from when the Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled over Britain. The name Daintry was originally derived from a family having lived in Daventry, a town in Northants (now Northampton). The place-name was rendered as Daventrei in the Domesday Book, [1] a census and survey taken by William the Conqueror in 1086. The place-name Daventry is derived from the Old English personal name Dafa, and means "tree of a man called Dafa, Dafa's tree." It is interesting to note that the pronunciation of the placename Daventree is not as it would appear. Locals pronounce Daventry as Daintree, giving rise to the many variations of this name that are found.

Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, French and other languages became incorporated into English through the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Daintry include Daventry, Daintry, Dainty, Dantry, Dantye and others.

First found in Northampton where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

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:
