Early Origins of the Coultmand family

The surname Coultmand was first found in Cumberland where Anote Coltman was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of 1332. Later, John le Coltman was listed in Cheshire in 1365. This latter entry underscores the occupational origin of the name as this entry literally translates as "John the Coltman."

The Writs of Parliament lists Geoffrey Coltman, 1313 and checking Yorkshire records we found Richard Coltman listed there in the Corpus Christi Guild (Surtees Society) in 1494. 1

Migration of the Coultmand family

To 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 Coultmand family emigrate to North America: John Coltman of Wethersfield who came from Sutton Coldfield in Warwickshire, he settled in Springfield Mass in 1644; Ann Coltman settled in Virginia in 1623.
