Origins Available: Irish, Scottish Where did the Scottish Dease family come from? What is the Scottish Dease family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dease family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dease family history? The chronicles of the Dease family reach back into Scottish history to an ancient tribe known as the Picts. The ancestors of the Dease family lived in Angus (in the modern region of Tayside), and claim descent from Gaelic MacDhai, son of David. When the first dictionaries were invented in the last few hundred years, spelling gradually became standardized. Before that time, scribes spelled according to sound. Names were often recorded under different spelling variations every time they were written. Dease has been written Deas, Dease, Deasey, Deasy, Dais, Daes, Deasson, Deason, Dasone and many more. First found in Angus, where they were descended from the Gaelic MacDhai, son of David. From the 13th century onward the name was anglicized MacDavid, Davidson, Deasson and Deas. The branches using Deas and Deasson settled in Angus and in Banffshire at the end of the fifteenth century. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Dease research.

The crossing to North America did not seem so great in comparison with the hardships many Scots endured at home. It was long, expensive, and cramped, but also rewarding. North America offered land and the chance for settlers to prove themselves in a new place. And many did prove themselves as they fought to forge a new nation in the American War of Independence. The ancestors of those Scots can now experience much of their once-lost heritage through the Clan societies and highland games that have sprung up across North America in the last century. A search of immigration and passenger lists revealed many important, early immigrants to North America bearing the name of Dease: Dease Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
