Submitted by Bill Kittrell Generation No. 1 1. FRANCIS1 ROUNTREE died Abt. 1730. Notes for FRANCIS ROUNTREE: NOTE: MOST RESEARCHERS IN PITT COUNTY ONLY DEAL WITH JESSE ROUNTREE BUT IN MY OPINION THE FAMILY CONNECTS BACK TO FRANCES ROUNTREE AND EVEN FRANCIS ROWNTREE IN ENGLAND. THESE ARE NOTES I HAVE GATHERED ON THIS FAMILY THROUGH THE YEARS. I CANNOT SAY ALL OF IT IS CORRECT BUT THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paday/dobbers/rountree_francis.htm

Southern and Colonial Genealogies. Early Rountree Immigrants There seem to be two distinct sets of early Rountree immigrants to Virginia who produced descendants. Whether they were related in any way is unknown, but it is likely that both had immigrated from either Yorkshire, in the northeastern part of England, or the general area of London. Records suggest perhaps a third immigrant to Virginia and another to South Carolina, though whether either had offspring is uncertain.

Origins in England The earliest occurrence of the name of which I am aware is the appearance of “Robert Rountrie” on the Yorkshire subsidy roll of 1301. Every subsequent citation for Rountree prior to about 1600 occurs in Yorkshire as well. A British genealogy mentions a suit against John Rowntree in 1521, the 1577 will of Lawrence Rowntree, a Henry Rountree of the late 1500s, and several dozen Rountree references in the early 1600s – all in Yorkshire.1 By the mid-1600s, several citations for Rountrees are found in the parish registers of parishes surrounding London as well.

Finally, a comment on the origin and spelling of the name. One authority, writing in 1901, calls it a “well-known North-English surname” spelled variously as Rowntree, Rowantree, Roantree, and Roun(d)tree.3 I think most genealogists would agree that whether the name is spelled Rountree, Roundtree, or Rowntree in early records is immaterial. Essentially all appearances of the name in American colonial records are third-party entries. That is, they represent the decision of a clerk, who chose whatever spelling they felt appropriate. Even recorded deeds and wills are rarely the originals, but rather were copied by clerks and therefore subject both to their own whims and to copying errors. Even signatures spelling the name one way or another have little genealogical value in distinguishing branches of the family. Copyright by Robert W.

• Early Rowntree history

By Fred Rowntree July 19, 2004 at 01:38:14. I hope that the following information will be useful and interesting.

1.Introduction

This is the history, as I see it, of the start of the Rowntree family, up until the end of the seventeenth century.Families with the name Rowntree, or alternative spellings, are found in a number of countries in the world, but mainly England, Ireland (both Northern and the Republic), Canada, United States of America, Australia and New Zealand.In the British Isles the name is recognized as a maker of chocolate and sweets, by a company set up in the nineteenth century, in Yorkshire, England, by Joseph Rowntree; it is now owned by the Swiss company Nestlé.World wide the name is well known through a charity: the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.The charity campaigns very vigorously for the poor and the underprivileged. http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/rowntree/11/
