This is a small excerpt from our full listing of settlers for the name Dawkins. Our PDF Extended History provide the complete listing from our dbase of over 500,000 settlers!
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Dawkins arrived in North America very early:
Dawkins Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
- Joseph Dawkins, who landed in Maryland in 1656
Dawkins Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
- Thomas Dawkins, aged 36, arrived in Missouri in 1846
- James Dawkins, aged 38, arrived in Missouri in 1847
- Ivor Dawkins, who landed in Allegany (Allegheny) County, Pennsylvania in 1876
