To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Danes were among those contributors:

Danes Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • Suzan Danes, aged 16, landed in America in 1635
  • Samll Danes, who arrived in Virginia in 1664

Danes Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • Paul Danes, who came to New Orleans in 1827
