Hatmore History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsEarly Origins of the Hatmore familyThe surname Hatmore was first found in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 where John atte Mor, Norfolk; Adam atte More, Oxfordshire; Fulco de la More, Huntingdonshire; and Pontius de la More, Yorkshire were listed. Later the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 listed Alicia del More; and Johannes atte More. 1 Eadmer or Edmer (d. 1124?), was an early English "historian and monk of Canterbury at the end of the eleventh and the beginning of the twelfth century, distinguished among his contemporaries for high character and literary powers. His works, the principal part of which have survived to our day, fully justify his reputation. There are few better pieces of contemporary history than his 'Historia Novorum;' and his biographies, especially that of Anselm, are of a higher order than most similar compositions. Nothing apparently is known of Eadmer before he emerges into notice as the close companion and friend of Archbishop Anselm." 2 In Devon, Andrew Attemore was Warden of St Mary's College, Ottery St Mary in 1350.

Migration of the Hatmore familyFamilies began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Hatmore, or a variant listed above: Alfred L. Atmore, aged 35, who arrived at Ellis Island from Phila. Pa., in 1915; Annie H. Atmore, aged 29, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1893; Annie Milton Atmore, aged 50, who arrived at Ellis Island from Hattiesburg, Miss. U.S.A., in 1913.
