Where did the Scottish Mantooth family come from? What is the Scottish Mantooth family crest and coat of arms? When did the Mantooth family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Mantooth family history? The annals of Scottish history reveal that Mantooth was first used as a name by descendants of the Pictish tribe of ancient Scotland. The Mantooth family lived in Monteith in the southwest of the county of Perth. During the Middle Ages, there was no basic set of rules and scribes wrote according to sound. The correct spelling of Scottish names were further compromised after many haphazard translations from Gaelic to English and back. Spelling variations of the name Mantooth include Monteath, Monteith, Menteath, Menteth, Menteith and others. First found in Perthshire, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Scotland to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Mantooth research. Another 161 words(12 lines of text) covering the years 1300, 1322, and 1396 are included under the topic Early Mantooth History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Mantooth Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Scots left their country by the thousands to travel to Australia and North America. Desperate for freedom and an opportunity to fend for themselves, many paid huge fees and suffered under terrible conditions on long voyages. Still, for those who made the trip, freedom and opportunity awaited. In North America, many fought their old English oppressors in the American War of Independence. In recent years, Scottish heritage has been an increasingly important topic, as Clan societies and other organizations have renewed people's interest in their history. An examination of passenger and immigration lists shows many early settlers bearing the name of Mantooth: Robert Monteith, who settled in Canada in 1679; Alexander Monteith, who arrived in New York in 1684; James Monteath, who settled in Jamaica in 1798; Thomas Monteath, who came to Jamaica in 1795.
