Where did the English Manthy family come from? What is the English Manthy family crest and coat of arms? When did the Manthy family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Manthy 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 Manthy has appeared include Mantaby, Mant, Mantabey, Mantebey and others. First found in Yorkshire 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 Manthy research. Another 140 words(10 lines of text) covering the years 1455 and 1487 are included under the topic Early Manthy History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Manthy Notables 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 Manthy arrived in North America very early: 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..
