Early Origins of the Stuckey family

The surname Stuckey was first found in Huntingdonshire at Stukeley, where Nicholas de Stiuecle was recorded in 1198. 1 The place name dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was recorded as Stivede. 2 Occasionally, the name originates in Stewkley in Buckinghamshire. 1

The Feet of Fines for Oxfordshire lists Geoffrey de Stiuecleg in 1224 and later the Subsidy Rolls for Sussex has an entry for Thomas Stukele in 1296. 1

"Two parishes in Devon, and a township in the parish of Brancepeth, in County Durham, bear the name Stockley." 3 4

The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 has two early entries for the family: Ralph de Stockleye, Suffolk; and Pagan de Stockleye, Oxfordshire. 3

By the 16th century, strongholds of the family were found in Devon and Somerset. The latter lists a coat of arms simply "Stewekley of Somerset, 1595," while the former was home to Sir Hugh Stucley (1496-1559), Lord of Affeton, Devon, Sheriff of Devon in 1545. Hugh was the eldest son of Thomas Stuckley (1473-1542), of Affeton, Sheriff of Devon in 1521.

Will Stutely or Will Stutly appears in two ballads in "The English and Scottish Popular Ballads," popularly known as the Child Ballads as a prominent member of Robin Hood's Merry Men.

Stuckey migration to West Indies +

The British first settled the British West Indies around 1604. They made many attempts but failed in some to establish settlements on the Islands including Saint Lucia and Grenada. By 1627 they had managed to establish settlements on St. Kitts (St. Christopher) and Barbados, but by 1641 the Spanish had moved in and destroyed some of these including those at Providence Island. The British continued to expand the settlements including setting the First Federation in the British West Indies by 1674; some of the islands include Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Island, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and Belize then known as British Honduras. By the 1960's many of the islands became independent after the West Indies Federation which existed from 1958 to 1962 failed due to internal political conflicts. After this a number of Eastern Caribbean islands formed a free association. 11
