For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Stuckless are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Stuckless include Stockley, Stockleigh, Stokeley, Stuckless, Stuckley and many more.

Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity.
