Where did the English Roxbury family come from? What is the English Roxbury family crest and coat of arms? When did the Roxbury family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Roxbury family history? Spelling variations of this family name include: Roxburgh, Roxborough, Rocksburgh, Rocksborough, Roxborow, Roxborows, Roxboroes, Roxbrow, Roxburg, Rocksburg, Roxburch, Rokesburg, Rokesburgh, Rokesby and many more. First found in Roxburghshire, Scotland where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say, the 11th century. One of the first on record was Adam of Roxburgh in 1153, who must have been close to the royal court in that he witnessed a charter by King David to Cambuskenneth Abbey. Similarly, Richard Roxburgh witnessed grants made by Richard, Bishop of St. Andrews from 1163 onward. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Roxbury research. Another 170 words(12 lines of text) covering the years 1199, 1299, and 1332 are included under the topic Early Roxbury History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Roxbury Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Robert Roxburgh settled in New York in 1775; Alexander Roxbrough arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1846; Frederick Roxbrough arrived Philadelphia in 1870. 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: Tam audax quam fidelis Motto Translation: I am as faithful as I am strong
