The origins of the Beddonessom name come from when the
Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled over Britain. The name Beddonessom was originally derived from a family having lived in the Pas-de-Calais region of
Normandy here the family lived before coming to
England with the
Norman Conquest and settling in the county of
Essex. Other records show the name could have been a baptismal name derived from the expression
the son of Beatrice from the
nickname Bete. Early Origins of the Beddonessom family
The surname Beddonessom was first found in
Shropshire, where "Walter De Betton had a freehold estate at Betton-Strange, near Shrewsbury, in the reign of
Edward I. William Betton, fourth in descent from Walter, was seated at Great Berwick prior to the reign of Henry IV."

Migration of the Beddonessom family to the New World and Oceana
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck
England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in
England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: J. Bettinson who arrived in Ontario in 1879.
