Our Parkhurst Ancestors can easily be traced from Ipswich, England to New England from 1600-1700‘s. On their arrival in New England about 1635, they first settled in Watertown, Mass and then by 1645 settled in Boston, Mass.

There are many sites on the Internet with good Parkhurst data. We don't want to go through the process of adding our interpretation of that research when it has already been done and it is documented. We will provide links to it, however.

Our Parkhurst research involves England, New England and Herkimer County, New York. So, if you are researching your Parkhurst's in any of these areas we would love to share and exhchange information with you!

We do research all Parkhurst descendants so please do not feel that you shouldn't participate if your Parkhursts are located out West or in Canada...they are all related, so we would love to hear from you! Please join us!

Parkhurst Family Crest and History

Parkhurst Family Crest and History: The name Parkhurst is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived in the region of Parkhurst or wood in the park. Parkhurst is a topographic surname, which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree. Habitation names form the other broad category of surnames that were derived from place-names. They were derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
