Fabens History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Fabens family
The surname Fabens was first found in
Hampshire where they held a
family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1184 when Fabianus of Cam held estates in that shire.

Spelling variants included: Fabian, Fabyan, Fabien, Fabyn, Fabyen and others.

Migration of the Fabens family to the New World and Oceana
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in
England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Fabenss to arrive on North American shores:
