- Origins Available:
 England France The many generations and branches of the Bargerey family can all place the origins of their surname with the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. Their name reveals that an early member worked as a barge-man. Three of the earliest instances of the name were royal bargemen for King Edward III, who reigned from 1327 to 1377. One of these three people's name explicitly indicates the occupational nature of the name Petrus del Barge. A modern transliteration of his name would be Peter of the Barge. 1 Early Origins of the Bargerey familyThe surname Bargerey was first found in county Worcestershire, where Robert de le Bergh was recorded in 1221. 2 Later in Yorkshire, we found Patricius Bargeman listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379. 1 Early History of the Bargerey familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bargerey research.

Migration of the Bargerey familyTo escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Bargerey family emigrate to North America: Balzasar Bargman, who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1754; Giles Barge, who arrived in Maine in 1669; Jacob Barge, who settled in Pennsylvania in 1760; George Barge, who settled in Pennsylvania in 1770.
