Where did the English Malston family come from? What is the English Malston family crest and coat of arms? When did the Malston family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Malston family history? The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Malston has been recorded under many different variations, including Malston, Malson, Mallesome, Malstone and others. First found in Devon where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held lands. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Malston research. Another 200 words(14 lines of text) covering the years 1315, 1455, and 1487 are included under the topic Early Malston History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Malston Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Malston or a variant listed above: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..
