Migration of the Chareman family

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Chareman or a variant listed above: John Charman, who came to Maryland in 1648; Henry Charman, who settled in Charles Town [Charleston], South Carolina in 1767; Richard Charman, who arrived in Ontario in 1832.
