The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it.

Migration of the Harnut family

Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. 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 Harnuts to arrive in North America: 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.
