Migration of the Harnott 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 Harnott or a variant listed above: Edward Harnet, who arrived in America in 1637; Bartholomew Harnett, a bonded passenger, who arrived in Virginia in 1734; John Harnett, who arrived in Virginia in 1643.
