Migration of the Lacham 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 Lacham or a variant listed above: William Lakeman, who sailed to New England in 1692; Daniel Lakeman to Virginia in 1774; and Cornelius and Frederick Lakeman to Baltimore in 1847.
