 England
The name Hemborowe is of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from the Old French personal names Amauri and Emaurri. These are derived from the Old German personal name Amalric, which literally means work-rule. Early Origins of the Hemborowe familyThe surname Hemborowe was first found in Devon at Broadhembury which is also known as Hembury, a parish and former market-town in the union of Honiton. 1 Hembury is also the name of a Neolithic causewayed enclosure and Iron Age hill fort near Honiton in Devon and is thought to date back from the late fifth and early fourth century BC. Hembury Castle is an Iron Age Hill fort near Tythecott, south of Buckland Brewer. Some researchers believe that the name is related to the name Embury, but this is not the case as this name is a distinct Devon name whereas Embury hails from Somerset. 2 3 Early History of the Hemborowe familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Hemborowe research.

Early Notables of the Hemborowe familyMore information is included under the topic Early Hemborowe Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Migration of the Hemborowe familyA great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: Thomas Hembrow, who sailed to Barbados in 1659; Thomas Hembrow to America 1665; Joseph Hembray to Philadelphia, Pa. in 1684; John Hembrough, who settled in Illinois in 1835.
