Where did the Scottish Roam family come from? What is the Scottish Roam family crest and coat of arms? When did the Roam family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Roam family history? Spelling variations of this family name include: Rome, Room, Rooms, Roome, Roomes and others. First found in Dumfriesshire, where they held a family seat some say from about the 12th century. Seated at Gretna, they early became friends and allies of the great Clan Johnston and later as the numbers of the Clan diminished they held under them for protection. Nevertheless, the Roomes were a Clan in their own right and had a chief. They were registered in Scottish Parliament as a clan in 1597 and responsible for the defense of Annandale, against the English. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Roam research. Another 173 words(12 lines of text) covering the years 1603, 1638, 1770, and 1780 are included under the topic Early Roam History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Roam Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: John Roome who arrived in New England in 1753; Thomas Roome and son Thomas arrived in Barbados in 1678; Abraham Roome arrived in Jamaica in 1685; Nicholas Rome arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1750.. 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: Pungit sed placit Motto Translation: It is painful, but pleasing
The Roam Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Roam Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 23 September 2010 at 15:38. ©2000-2013 Swyrich Corporation.
