Where did the English Tree family come from? What is the English Tree family crest and coat of arms? When did the Tree family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Tree family history? Tree is a name of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from the family once having lived near some prominent tree or in one of the settlements in Devon called Tree, Trew, True, or Trow. The surname is derived from the Old English words treow, trew, or trow, which are in turn derived from the Old English word treow, which means tree. However, the surname Tree is occasionally derived from residence at Trow Farm or Trow Down in Wiltshire. The derivation in this case is from the Old English word trog, which means trough.Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Tree family name include True, Truue, Trew, Trewe, Truwe, Trow, Trowe and others. First found in Warwickshire, where Rannulfus Truue was recorded in 1180. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Tree research.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Tree surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Tree Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
