Early Origins of the Easterley familyThe surname Easterley was first found in Lincolnshire 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 1494 where the surname held a family seat at East Newton.

 Easterley migration to the United States | + |
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Easterleys to arrive on North American shores:
Easterley Settlers in United States in the 18th Century- William Easterley, who landed in Virginia in 1705 1
Easterley Settlers in United States in the 19th Century- R Easterley, who arrived in San Francisco, California in 1850 1
