Etymology of CoreviserWhat does the name Coreviser mean? The founding heritage of the Coreviser family is in the Anglo-Saxon culture that once dominated in Britain. The name Coreviser comes from when one of the family worked as a horsemaster. Further research revealed that the name is derived from the Old French word cosser, for horse keeper, and was an official position within the noble household. 1 Early Origins of the Coreviser familyThe surname Coreviser was first found in Staffordshire, where Anketill le Corser was recorded in the Assize Rolls of 1227. 1 The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 include entries for: Ralph le Coreviser, Oxfordshire; Henry le Coreveser, Huntingdonshire; William le Coreviser, Salop (Shropshire): and Cristina Corveiser, Huntingdonshire as all holding lands at that time. 2 Early History of the Coreviser familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Coreviser research.

Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Corevisers to arrive in North America: William Corser who sailed to Barbados in 1634.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Recto cursu
Motto Translation: In a right course.
