 England Early Origins of the Quarman familyThe surname Quarman was first found in Cornwall. "Nancor [in the parish of Creed in Cornwall] was for a considerable time a seat belonging to the very ancient family of Quarme; and in early periods it seems to have been a place of their abode; as in the parish church there are some monuments of this family. Until of late, Nancor was the property of John Peters, Esq. of whom it has been purchased of the Rev. George Moore, of Garlinneck, who is the present possessor. The Quarme family is said to have descended from an ancient British tribe, that was never wholly subdued or ruined, either by the Romans, Saxons, Danes, or Normans. About the time of William the Conqueror, the ancestor of this branch lived in wealth and honour at his seat in the South Hams in Devonshire. But prior to this period, many of this tribe about the year 454 departed from Great Britain and took up their abode in Armorica, in which place their descendants still perpetuate the family name. It was probably on account of this family and a few others, having survived the shocks of conquest, and retained their dignity amidst the convulsions of their country, and the revolutions of the world, that the following homely rhyme is indebted for its ancient birth:— 'When William the Conqueror did come, Quarme, Cruis, and Crocker, were at home.'

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 Quarman family emigrate to North America:
