This is a small excerpt from our full listing of settlers for the name Dewhurst. Our PDF Extended History provide the complete listing from our dbase of over 500,000 settlers!
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:
Dewhurst Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
- Henry Dewhurst who settled in Boston in 1645
- Arthur Dewhurst settled in New England in 1699

- John Dewhurst, who arrived in America in 1801
- George Dewhurst, aged 32, landed in Kentucky in 1812

Learn all about the different symbols of your Coat of Arms with our deluxe symbolism. This product will explain the full meaning of you Coat of Arms including motto translations.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Spes mea in Deo
Motto Translation: My hope is in God.
