![Show Contents]() Ashborne History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The name Ashborne first arose amongst the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is derived from their having lived in Ashbourne, Derbyshire; in Ashburnham, Sussex; or in Ashburton, Devon. 1 Early Origins of the Ashborne familyThe surname Ashborne was first found in Derbyshire, at Ashbourne, a market town in the Derbyshire Dales now famous for its historic annual Shrovetide football match. The first record was found in the Domesday Book where it was listed as Esseburne, having derived from the Old English aesc + burna, meaning "stream where the ash-trees grow." 2 The name dates back to pre-Domesday Book times, when it was known as Aescburnan in 1008. 3 "There can be little no doubt, however, that the Ashburnhams have been seated at Ashburnham from the reign of Henry II, and probably from a much earlier period, and are descended from Bertram, Constable of Dover in the reign or William the Conqueror. " 4 "The manor [of Ashburnham in Sussex], with the exception only of a few years, has been from a time anterior to the Conquest in the continued possession of the noble family of Ashburnham, whose mansion-house here is beautifully situated, and surrounded by a fine park. The church, situated behind Ashburnham House, is a neat cruciform edifice in the decorated English style, with a tower; the south transept contains a gallery for the family, and in the north are handsome monuments to William and John Ashburnham, and their wives." 5 Sifting through early rolls, we found Robert de Assheboume in Devon in 1311 and years later, John de Ascheburn in Yorkshire in 1349. 3 Early History of the Ashborne familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Ashborne research.

 Ashborne migration to the United States | + |
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Ashborne arrived in North America very early:
Ashborne Settlers in United States in the 17th Century- Elizabeth Ashborne, who arrived in Maryland in 1650 6
- James Ashborne, who landed in Maryland in 1650 6
- Peter Ashborne, who arrived in Maryland in 1656 6
