When did the Staines family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Staines family history? The ancient history of the Staines name begins with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the family resided in the parish of Staines in the counties of Middlesex and Surrey. The latter appears in the Domesday Book [1] as "Stanes" derived from the Old English word "stan" and meant "place at the stones". [2] One of the first records of the name was Sir William Staine who married into the Yarboroughs of Heslington Hall about the year 1100. Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Staines include Stain, Staine, Staines, Stane, Stanes, Stayn and others. First found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, and may have given their name to a number of places in Yorkshire including several Staintons, Stainland, Stainforth or Stainburn. Early records also revealed Richard of Staines (or Richard de Stanes) (d. 1277), a English clerical judge who acted as an Itinerant Justice, then was appointed justice of the Court of King's Bench in 1209 and finally Lord Chief Justice in 1269.

Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Staines or a variant listed above: Staines Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
