Harnoth Spelling Variations

Harnoth has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Spelling variants included: Harnett, Harnott, Arnold, Ernold, Arnot, Arnott, Aernold and many more.

Migration of the Harnoth family

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 Harnoths to arrive on North American shores: Edward Harnet, who arrived in America in 1637; Bartholomew Harnett, a bonded passenger, who arrived in Virginia in 1734; John Harnett, who arrived in Virginia in 1643.
