 England Early Origins of the Barnicoat familyThe surname Barnicoat was first found in Devonshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1279 when Thomas de Bernecot from Deven branched to Oxfordshire and held estates.

In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships.

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 Barnicoat family emigrate to North America:
