![Show Contents]() Nuttle History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The origins of the Nuttle name lie with England's ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It comes from when the family lived in the settlement of Nuthall in Nottinghamshire, or in the place named Nuttall in the county of Lancashire. The surname Nuttle belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. Early Origins of the Nuttle familyThe surname Nuttle was first found in Nottinghamshire at Nuthall, parish, in the union of Basford, S. division of the wapentake of Broxtow. Nuthall Temple, occupying a commanding site near the village, is a handsome mansion, built in imitation of the Villa Capra, at Vicenza, in Italy, and surrounded by an extensive park embellished with plantations and an artificial lake. 1 The place dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was first listed as Nutehale. 2 Literally the place name means "nook of land where nut trees grow" from the Old English words "hnutu" + "halh." 3 Early History of the Nuttle familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Nuttle research.

Migration of the Nuttle family to Ireland

More information about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Migration of the Nuttle 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 Nuttle family emigrate to North America: Richard Nuttall and Thomas Nuttall, who came to Virginia in 1662; Robert Nuttall settled in Virginia in 1635; Edward, John, Joshua, Newton, Robert, Thomas and William Nuttall all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860..
