BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SELF FAMILY IN THE UNITED STATES
Most researchers believe that Olde Robert Selfe was the ancestor of most of the Self family in America. Arriving in Virginia in the 1600s, Robert Selfe appears to have been christened Roboham Selfe, son of Robert Selfe, and grandson of Walter Selfe of Cripplegate, London, England. The name "Self" is thought to be a shortened version of "Seawolf," dating back to the early Viking voyages along the English coast. Many courageous Selfs became pioneers in our country's expansion westward, and the descendants of Robert Selfe were soon residents of the Southeastern United States from Virginia to Texas with several families settling in the midwest. Today, the Self name can be found in all fifty states.
