Where did the English Cheasman family come from? What is the English coat of arms/family crest? When did the Cheasman family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

Cheasman is an old Anglo-Saxon name that was given to a person who was a maker of the village cheese. The surname Cheasman can be traced to the Old English cesewyrhta which means "a cheese-maker." This profession was very important in the medieval period; in the days before refrigeration, milk could be kept for a day or two at most, and the only way to ensure a long term supply of dairy products was to make it into cheese. The suffix -wright was usually adopted by a someone who provided a service with either wood or machinery.

The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Cheasman has been recorded under many different variations, including Cheesewright, Cheeswright, Cheeseright, Chesewright, Cheswright, Chiswright, Chesewricte, Cheeseman, Cheesman and many more.

First found in Lincolnshire, where they held a family seat from early times.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Cheasman or a variant listed above: Paul Cheeswright who sailed to Georgia in 1732.
