Where did the English Manigault family come from? What is the English Manigault family crest and coat of arms? When did the Manigault family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Manigault family history? One relatively recent invention that did much to standardize English spelling was the printing press. However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Manigault has appeared include Manningham, Maningham, Manyngham, Maningum, Maningam, Manigham, Manigford, Maningford and many more. First found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Manningham in the West Riding. 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 year 1285 when Roger de Manningham held estates in that shire. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Manigault research. Another 306 words(22 lines of text) covering the years 1353, 1427, 1455, 1487, 1510, 1600, and 1722 are included under the topic Early Manigault History in all our PDF Extended History products.

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 Manigault arrived in North America very early: Manigault Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
