AMERICA HERALDICA A COMPILATION OF OF PROMINENT AMERICAN FAMILIES SETTLED IN THIS COUNTRY BEEORE 1800 EDITED BY E. DE V. VERMONT ILLUSTRATED BY HENRY RYKERS IRew BRENTANO BROTHERS i PREFACE reader does not expect the author, or, rather, compiler of this work to expatiate, in solemn periods, upon the anti-democratic features of heraldic devices, such a dis¬ cussion having become, indeed, too commonplace to deserve the least notice from intelligent and thoughtful people. No, it is not in any way true that the preservation in the archives of a few American families, and the outward use they may desire to make of the coats of arms belonging to them legitimately, could, at any time, become a peril to our republican institutions. Nor is it truer that the popular form of our national and state constitutions necessitates the suppression of such heirlooms; nor could our lawgivers, by thus acting, succeed in installing on a forced footing of social equality the descendant of ten generations of personages distinguished for their courage, their learning, their high moral and intellectual standing, and the self-made and irewly-enriched citizen, born, as it were, of yesterday, to all the refinements of life and of thought, and boasting of his being “his own proud ancestor.” Before the civil law, in the midst of the duties as well as of the privileges of public life, absolute and undoubted equality. But in History, in the Past, nearly always in social intercourscj imperious, logical, needed classification, which no protest can either evade or destroy.* Far be from us the thought of enunciating here any personal opinion—of developing a theory. We simply wish to state a fact,—^ clear, self-evident fact, — however unpalatable it may seem to many of our fellow-citizens. But such a fact ' made itself apparent, in all its possible consequences, from the earliest days of our young republic, and still we find that the Washingtons, the Adamses, the Franklins, the Jays, the Livingstons, and many others among the founders of our liberties, used daily their own armorial bearings, and did not conceal their satisfaction in thus connecting the Present with an honored Past. Why should we then—we, their descendants, enjoying now the work of their well-spent lives— assume the right of interpreting differently the result of their thoughtful deliberations ? They did not erase the Past, but linked it by firm ties to the Future. Gentle blood they did not proscribe, as did the French Convention, but they placed it, as it were, at the pinnacle, well in view—not as a * “ Free to every one to have esteem or contempt for gentle blood. Euripides preferred to it riches; Me¬ nander, virtue; Plato, glory; Aristotle, talent; Socrates, wisdom; St. Jerome, holiness. In^ a word, every one may place gentle descent on a different point of the scale of comparison. But, that will leave it a fact. It does exist with its political history in the past, and its decided social influence in the present.”— Granier DE CassagnaC: Hzs- toirc des Classes Nobles. PREFACE master, but as an honored guest. And nowhere more than amongst the descendants of the Virginia Cavaliers, of the gentlemen of the “Mayflower” and of Winthrop’s expedition, and of New Yorks aristocratic Knickerbockers, was found that true spirit of liberty the practical working of which made us all what we are.* Let us therefore follow, with meekness of heart, such worthy and decisive examples. And, even should we not belong to the favored few, let us concede ungrudgingly to every family of old and gentle descent among us the right to preserve and use freely these relics of the past—not as the toys of a sickly vanity, but as an inheritance of unblemished honor, as the visible tokens of an unforgotten, never-to-be-sullied family record, saying with old Homer: “Our ancestors we must gladden, never sadden, by our lives.” II S, therefore, all men of a sedate mind and of good common sense recognize that a crusade against armorial bearings, in this country, is not to be countenanced or even thought of, let us turn our attention to the real danger in the matter, refusing to discuss any longer the advisability of proscriptive measures. It is a well-known fact that, besides the few heraldic emblems brought over from the old countries by some of the first emigrants,f there are to be found in America thousands of armorial devices used without a twinge of conscience by families with absolutely no right to bear any coat of arms, and knowing the fact to be such. Far back in the XVIII. century we find the counterfeiters’ work begun, and, in Boston itself, —in cultured, high-toned Boston—a number of fifth-rate artists, struggling for a bare pittance, and bent on finding it at any risk, began 'to circulate, to suit the fancy of their wealthy patrons, coats of arms, invented as well as painted or engraved by themselves, the origin of which is to be found either in * It is not out of place to remark here that each State of the Union, as soon as it obtains its admission into the national body politic, has at once a coat of arms designed—mostly, we regret to say, on an unheraldic and some what too picturesque a style—for use as a state emblem on its banners and seals. Even in modern times, official notice has often been taken of family coats of arms, as in the case of the New Capitol at Albany, where we find sculptured above the six dormer windows opening on the large middle court the armorial devices of the families of Stuyvesant, Schuyler, Livingston, Jay, Clinton, and Tompkins, every one of these families having furnished to the Empire State several distinguished public servants. t It should be remembered that those men of pluck and decision, who sought in a foreign land that religious or political liberty which was denied them at home,—the Cavaliers of Virginia, the Puritans of New Eng¬ land, the Huguenots exiled from cruel France — were, most of them, men of good family; for, in those days, a large sum of money was required to equip a vessel, or even just to pay for passage on such a long voyage, and to provide means of subsistence when arrived at one’s destination. Let us quote here, in reference to the social status of the New England emigrants, a very conclusive argu¬ ment inserted by W. H. Whitmore, the father of American heraldry, in his review of Shirley’s Noble and Gentle Men of England. It will show to the reader how many of the emigrants of the XVII. century, although styled merchants or yeomen, may have belonged, and, in fact, probably did belong, to families of gentle blood, entitled to coat-armor. “ P'ew points seem less investigated,” writes Mr. Whitmore, “than the origin and position of the farmers and merchants of England after the cessation of the Wars of the Roses. We find repeated instances of gentlemen by PREFACE VII some heraldic cyclopaedia, consulted at random, or, more frequently, in the ever-fertile imagination of the inventor. Of course, our own century, especially in its second half, during this astounding period of material prosperity enjoyed since the late war, has opened, and still opens, a wide door to such unpun¬ ishable forgeries. Vanity had to be satisfied; the nouveaux riches had to be smuggled, some way or other, into the charmed circle; and so the jewelers, the stationers, the carriagemakers, insisted on granting, of their own accord, to their vainglorious clients, some of the far-famed heraldic devices of the European grandees.* Thus, it came to pass, that all through Great Britain, Ireland, France, and the Netherlands, new and unexpected branches began to spring out of ancient genealogical trees, this miraculous connection being usually established under the weak pretense of similitude in the patro¬ nymic surnames. Since then, all the Derbys, the Buckinghams, the Spencers, the Hamiltons, the Churchills, the Grays, and tutti quanti, enjoying on American soil such high-sounding appellations, believe themselves, or try to have themselves believed, to be the true and undoubted possessors of the coats of arms borne by the mighty Dukes and Earls of Old England.f Better still, or, rather worse, hundreds of families amongst us, having kept, with the care of true-blue Protestants attached to the Bible of their fathers, a clear record of their descent, both paternal and maternal, attempt, nowadays, to graft them¬ selves, boldly and bodily, upon some aristocratic tree, trying thus to forget, and to have others forget, the humble, perhaps even menial origin of their forefather, the emigrant. birth engaging in the commerce and the manufacture of the larger cities. We find, also, many examples of the division of lands, whereby the younger sons of good families became freeholders, and thus dropped socially, a grade, to the rank of yeomen. We are still without data, however, to show whether this was the rule or the exception. “To us the question is an important one. The great emigration hither [New England] was that led by Win- throp; and, as we have tried to prove, it contained a considerable proportion of gentry, recognized as such prior to their removal. The remainder of the colonists were undoubtedly yeomen, tradesmen, and mechanics, but most evi¬ dently not of the lowest class. “ In fact, if we were to accept Macaulay’s picture of the country gentleman of the day we should consider them as of the superior class. A large majority of them, as witnessed by our early county records, could read and write: they were capable of self-government, and were prompt to devise satisfactory solutions for the problems pre¬ sented by their new life. We doubt if as much could be said of five thousand colonists now to be taken from the lower classes of England. “ Hence our abiding faith that the result of all investigation in England will result to the credit of our ancestors, will establish the value of their heraldic evidences, and free them from the suspicion of that weakest form of vanity, the assumption of a false social position.” * Mr. Cussans, in his Hand Book of Heraldry, p. 307, writes: “There are probably more assumptive [heraldic for bogus'\ arms borne in America than anywhere else. Nor are the bearers of such arms to be so much blamed as the unscrupulous, self-styled heralds, who supply them. The advertising London tradesmen, who profess to find arms, are, for the most part, less anxious to give themselves the trouble of examining the requisite documents—even if they possess the necessary ability to do so, which many cer¬ tainly do not — than they are of securing the fee. If, therefore, they cannot readily find in the printed pages of Burke, they do not hesitate to draw from the depth of their ‘inner consciousness,’ as Carlyle expresses it. Many American gentlemen, consequently, engrave their plate and adorn the panels of their carriages with heraldic insignia to which they have no right whatever; and this, too, though they may have ati hereditary claim to arms as ancient and honorable as those of a Talbot or a Hastings. Nor have native professors of the science been behindhand in distributing their worthless favors. The names of Thomas Johnson, John Coles, and Nathaniel Hurd, (Boston heraldic painters of the XVIII. century), are notorious in New England as those of manufacturers of fictitious arms and pedigrees.” t As far back as 1807, the notorious Rev. Samuel Peters, in his Life of Hugh Peters, asserted, without taking the trouble of furnishing any proofs nor authentic data, that, in the time of Cromwell, many scions of the noblest houses of Old England came over here to escape the rule of the Protector, and that their descendants still graced vm PREFACE III HERE lies evidently the danger, if systematically falsifying family traditions and gene¬ alogical connections may be termed a danger. Here it is that honest men ought to come to the front, helping thus to rescue poor, naked, unguarded Truth, obstinately pushed back into her native well. Some countries, conservative but not blindly retrograde in most of their insti¬ tutions, never ceased to protect, by force of law, heraldic property on the same basis and for the same reasons that they defend any other form or kind of private propeity. And if, in our land, public opinion, as yet but imperfectly enlightened on the subject, may not be ready to accept the creation of a Herald's or a Jtidge-at-Arms’ office, whose interference should prevent or punish 'any wrongful assumption of coat-armor, it seems to us all the more impoitant that impartial, studious, and high-minded experts,—as thoroughly versed in the intricacies of genealogical problems as in the arduous work of deciphering heraldic enigmas,—should volunteer to pass judgment on these matters, presenting, in due time, for public discussion, the results of their minute inquiries concerning the exact status of American families making use of coats of arms and crests. Thus would be collected, under the glaring and unrelenting light of public opinion, and with the help of every fair-minded and competent citizen, a complete and final list of American families, emigrated before 1800, and having proved peremptorily their ancestral right to coat-armor. Such a task has been attempted in these pages. Their author does not follow in the footsteps of any similar publication—none such having ever, to his knowledge, been systematically compiled in this country. A few indefatigable workers, busy in other fields of literary labor, collected, it is true, since 1851, many of the doeuments we have wrought here into a whole, and, to the survivors of this small company of investigators,—one of them a thorough scholar in matters heraldic—we address now our hearty and well-deserved thanks. Their names will be found often inscribed in the bibliographical part of each separate notice, and reference to their valuable works thus indicated. And now it would seem that, these few preliminary remarks having established fully our aim and purpose, we should leave this book to its fate, habent sua fata liielli, did we not feel it our clearly-set duty to notice and to contradict, in a few short paragraphs, a most curious error, found this land with their presence. Thus, the Rev. Historian (?) mentions the following personages as having taken refuge in New England; 1. A certain Thomas Seymour (of the Ducal house of Somerset); 2. Three brothers of Lord Stanley, Earl of Derby; 3. A certain William Russell (of the Ducal house of Bedford); 4. A Pierrepont, legal heir to the (now extinct) Duchy of Kingston; 5. A Montague, a younger scion of the Earls of Sandwich; 6. A Grahatn (of the Ducal house of Montrose); 7. A Clinton, of the Earls of Lincoln; etc., etc. We shall have occasion to discuss several of these descents still persisted in, in this century, and made more conspicuous by the fact of some Americans of that name having reached prominent situations among us. At the end of this work will be found a list of over fifty American families having assumed the coats of arms of Peers of the British Empire. PREFACE IX upon the lips of the great majority of our fellow-citizens, and having thus obtained —in spite of its utter absurdity,—the force and popularity of an axiom. IV E hear it constantly repeated in America, that every family surname, and, especially, every surname of a Britannic or of an Irish origin, is entitled to certain armorial devices ; and that such a coat of arms does exist somewhere, at the disposal of the patient searcher. In other words, that, if, at some remote or more recent period, a Jones, a Brown, a Smith, having distinguished himself in the service of the state, or in the favor of the sovereign, was granted, by royal letters patent, some sort of armorial devices, from that day and hour, every living, or yet-to-be-born, Jones, Brown, or Smith, can lay his hand, at his good pleasure, upon the said coat of arms, and adopt it as his family emblem. We can hardly be expected to discuss with any amount of seriousness a fiction so radically opposed to truth and common sense. We shall, therefore, settle the question in a very few words, borrowed from the vocabulary of European heraldic science. A coat of arms is and remains the exclusive property of that person who either established his prescriptive right to it—being a gentleman of old race , — or received it in more recent times by royal deed of concession. Only his lineal descendants,* not his collateral relatives, can pretend to it; and his own brother [we speak here, of course, of the co7iceded, not of the prescriptive right to coat- armor] is no more entitled to it than any other confessed pretender. If the branch thus distinguished becomes extinct, the collateral relatives may inherit the family estates, if such an entail has been provided for, or if, in the absence of any will, they come first in the line of succession ab intestato. But, in no case does that coat of arms come over to these col¬ lateral relatives, except through a clear and especial manifestation of the royal good pleasure expressed in a new and distinct concession. Be it, therefore, well understood by all the Browns or Brownes of the United States, that the fact of our inserting in this compilation the coats of arms having descended, in a regular line, to the Brownes or Browns of Salem, of Watertown, of Rye, would not justify them in taking forcible pos¬ session of said coats of arms if they count not amongst the direct issue of the original Brown of Salem, Watertown, or Rye. And, if the Smiths of Scarsdale, if the Andrews of Farmington, if one of the many Anderson families of New York, have been made prominent in the same manner by regular grants of armorial bearings, let us protest against all the Smiths, the Andrews, and the Andersons, whose names crowd Maternal descent from a gentlewoman can not give a right to coat-armor to the descendant of a man not having inherited nor being himself the grantee of armorial bearings. Cussans so expresses this absolute rule, fre¬ quently violated in this country: “If an ignobilis, that is, one without armorial bearings, were to marry an heiress, he could not make use of her arms; for, having no escutcheon of his own, it is evident that he could not charge her shield of pretence, neither would their issue — being unable to quarter—be permitted to bear their maternal coat.” — CusSANS : Hand Book of Heraldry, p. 157. X PREFACE the directories of our large cities, adopting for their note paper, their plate, their carriages, these old heirlooms of royal creation, having descended to people of the self-same surname. Let them remember, instead, and keep wisely in a privileged corner of their memoiy, this absolute principle: That “ Only a direct ancestor, having borne by right a coat of arms, can give his descend¬ ants a similar privilege, and obtain for them an honest footing amongst the Americans entitled to coat- armor.” No half rule on the matter; it is all or nothing. To violate this absolute law, governing despotically every heraldic assumption, would be only to add ridicule to untruth; and, with the pro¬ gressive enlightenment of their fellow-citizens on the subject, such psc^tdchg&vdXVdj would soon be found out and treated as it deserves to be—with perfect and justified contempt. In settling this question in such a decisive, and, perhaps, somewhat uneharitable manner, the author of America Heraldica gives one more positive proof of his strong will not to add unduly one cubit to the stature of any American citizen; but only to recognize in every one what is his by birthright— c^iique sutim ,—completing and rendering manifest to the public mind a classification already established by facts and data. V OMING to the end of this long introduction, we wish to point out, in this last division: 1ST. What class of candidates to armorial honors our researches include. 2D. What period of time these researches comprehend. 3D. What systematic procedure has been applied to the present classification. First. Desirous to insert in this volume no documents but those of a general interest, we have concentrated our attention upon the families whose origins are comprised in the following enu¬ meration : A. Families descending from titled noblemen. B. Families descending from European landed gentry. C. Families descending from personages having occupied high offices in their native country, or in the Colonies of the New World. D. Families descending from the Lords of the Manors of New York. B. Families descending from the leading Huguenot exiles. B. Families descending from the gentlemen mentioned in the Boston Go?'e Roll of Arms, as using already armorial bearings in 1700-1720. *The Gore Roll of Arms is a collection of ninety-nine coats of arms, painted by hand, and having been once the property of a Boston carriagemaker, by the name of GORE, who lived in the early part of the last century, and consigned in a book the armorial bearings of his most prominent customers. A complete description of this valuable document is found in the Boston Heraldic Joiir?ial, of August, 1865. It has always been admitted that the coats of arms included in this compilation were, to a large extent, bona fide, and deserved to be treated as such. PREFACE XI These five headings include Knickerbockers, Cavaliers, Puritans, Quakers, Huguenots — the main springs from which flowed, all over this wide continent, the fertilizing waters of emigration and civi¬ lization. Second. All families whose coats of arms are found in America Heraldica were settled in North America before A.D. 1800. Third. Our researches were governed by the following rules; Being given a family making use of armorial bearings, we enquired, first of all, after the name of the first emigrant, direct ancestor of that family. Having obtained also the date of his emi¬ gration, we set to work to find out: A. What had been his European origin, and whether he belonged, by well-established lineal descent, to a family entitled to coat-armor. B. Such a family being found to have existed, at the stated time, in the Old World, we had to trace the origin of its coat of arms, whether it came in its possession by prescriptive right, — as to gentlemen of old lineage, — or had been granted, in later times, by the sovereign. In Great Britain and Ireland, the records of the London College of Heralds (for England), of the Edinburgh Lyon Herald (for Scotland), of the Dublin Ulster King-at-Arms (for Ireland), easily settle almost all doubtful questions, with the help of the old Visitations,^ especially important in the matter of prescriptive right to coat-armor. In France, since the Edict of 1696, an official compilation has been made by d’Hozier, Judge at-Arms under King Louis XIV., and by his heirs and successors in office. The National Library, in Paris, contains, in a perfect state of preservation and classification, these highly valuable manu¬ scripts, always open to the student’s examination. In Holland, in Belgium, in Switzerland, [a republic with an old, highly-esteemed aristocracy], there exist several private compilations of great worth, as, for example, those of Colonel Van der Duzen, of F. W. Goethals, of J. B. Riedstap, the latest edition of whose book, just issued, contains one hundred thousand names. In Germany, where everything is marvellously tied up with red tape and ruled by militarism, the three Gotha Almanacs and Sieben macher’s Neu W^appenbuch furnish all needed information. Of course, we only mention here the leading and most recent works, not forgetting Burke’s, Berry’s, De Brett’s, and other English cydopcedias and armories. Each continental country possesses, besides, some official source of information, open to the interested parties if not to the student. C. We must acknowledge that we sometimes have deviated from the mathematical course laid down in the two preceding paragraphs,. but only in the case of those families whose • emigrant ancestor *The Heralds' Visitations were made for the purpose of examining the right by which the persons within the respective heraldic provinces bore arms or were styled Esquires or Gentlemen. The results of these official inquiries were carefully collected, and subsequently recorded in the College of Heralds. The earliest visitation which we possess took place in 1528-29, by order of a commission granted and executed by Thomas Benoilt, Clarencietix • although informal visitations were made in the reigns of Henry the FOURTH, Edward the FOURTH, and Henry the Seventh, of which only fragments remain. Until 1687, when the last visitation was made, they were regularly conducted every twenty or thirty years. XII PREFACE occupied, in the young colonies, a position of such importance that he could hardly have imperiled his influence and prestige for the meagre satisfaction of assuming fraudulent marks of gentility. We recognize, therefore, as conclusive proofs of a right to coat-armor, such family relics as. Seals, impressions of seals, plates, old engravings, tombstones, — all these being well authenticated as contem¬ poraneous with the first emigrant, or, may be, the generation that succeeded immediately him. But, whenever such proof is admitted, instead of a clear, direct, complete pedigree, connecting the American stock with an European family in possession of coat-armor, we state the fact in detail, and leave the reader to be the final judge in the case. And now, as a last and parting word of preface, let us open this record —a work of patience, care, and strict impartiality—by stating, that the coats of arms herein inserted have all been chosen without any regard to the fact of the bearers of any of them being subscribers or not; also, that no compensation of any kind has been accepted for insertion of notices or coats of arms. E. DE V. VERMONT. AMERICA HERALDICA TLivlngston Sir Bernard Burke, in his Ge7i. History of Extinct Peerages, etc., gives a special notice to the American Livingstons, whose pedigree goes clearly back to the Scotch Livingstones, Earls of Linlithgow and Earls of Calendar. The direct ancestor of the New York Livingstons was the Rev. foh7i Livingstone, born in Scotland in 1603, exiled to Holland on account of his religious convictions. His descendant, Robert Livingstone, born in 1654, came over to America about 1676, and was granted by Governor Thomas Dongan, in 1683, the manorial estate of the family. After the death of the third Lord, these immense estates were divided in four shares. The Livingstons quarter; i and 4, Linlithgow; 2, Hepburn; 3, Calendar. They use the Linlith¬ gow crest and motto.

Another tradition connects the American Bulk- leys with Thomas Bulkley, from Ware, county Salop, England. The charges are those of the Irish Viscounts Bulkley —colors different.

His own seal gave the exact imprint of the coat of arms we reproduce. jfranhlin Benjamin Franklin used this coat of arms as his seal. So did his brother John. We have seen an identical bookplate, having belonged to the latter. William Franklin, the Governor of New Jersey, used a similar seal. It is believed that the Frank¬ lin brothers obtained the grant of these arras on account of the high offices they held under the royal governors.

That coat of arms was granted this family by King Henry VIII. Boston, to the memory of the brave Captain La- THROP, killed by the Indians in 1675. The emigrant was the Reverend John Lathrop, or rather Lowthroppe, of Cherry Burton, county York, England, who, having joined the dissenters, was harshly persecuted, and finally took refuge in America in 1630. He was in Barnstable, Mass., in 1639. This pedigree is clear and complete. Crest : A fighting cock: proper. Thomas Lord emigrated from London to New England in 1635.

They settled afterwards—at least, the direct ancestors of the American Jays did—in La Ro¬ chelle, and from there fled to England on account of religious persecution. Later, a descendant of the refugee, Augtisttis Jay, came over to America, and settled in West¬ chester Co., N. Y. (1745).

In 1349, Sir Laurence de Ludlowe founded the Monastery of St. Mary White-Friars, in that town. The emigrant, Gabrieli Ludlow, who came over to New York in 1694, was issued from a branch of the family settled, since the XIV. century, at Hill Deverill, in Wiltshire. To the same family belonged Lieutenant Gen¬ eral Sir Edimind Ludlow of Maiden Bradley, who died in exile (1693) for having voted the death of Charles I. The Earldom of Ludlow (extinct, 1842) was in the family. A complete pedigree to date exists in the archives of the New York Ludlow family.

In America, the same state of things seems to have existed, as we find the identical coat of arms (the one we give in this work) borne, with slight modifications, by some branches of the Gardiner and Gardner stock. The tomb of Chief Justice John Gardner of Rhode Island (1767), shows the coat of arms we insert, except the crest, none being visible. This eminent citizen was son of the emigrant, Joseph Gardner (1669-1726). Lio 7 i Gardiner reached Boston in 1635. In 1639 he took possession of his principalty of “ Gardiner’s Island," and made it a real little kingdom. On his seal (1636) we find the crest as sole device. On the tomb of his descendant, David Gar¬ diner, the fourth Lord—1691-1751—is found the coat of arms we give here. We notice in Bztrke the same arms as belong¬ ing to the Reverend Richard Gardiner, D.D., Canon of Christ Church, Oxford (died 1670). 28 AMERICA HERALDICA Crest [On a seal of Lion Gar¬ diner] ; A pelican, sable, vulning it¬ self, gules. Motto (In English authorities): Deo non for- tuna. [Trusting in God, not in chance.] It is contested, with some authority, that Lion Gardiner, of Gardiner’s Island, was entitled to the above coat of arms, and the best known family of Gardiner, and that presenting, at the same time, the clearest English pedigree, is that descending from Joseph Gardiner, of Rhode Island. This gentleman came over by way of Holland, in 1650-51. His father, Sir Thomas Gardiner, Knight, had fought for Charles I.

The coat of arms we give has never, to our knowledge, been proved to have been regularly granted, or endorsed by the Heralds' Visitations, but it has been in the family since the emi¬ gration. The English Coffins place the crosses of the shield saltirezaise instead of crosswise. These arms are found on the tomb of Oliver Arnold (died, 1770), in the Old North Church¬ yard, at Providence, R.

He subsequently removed to Hartford and Middletown, in the same col¬ ony, and ' died in 1681 {eslet. 68). The coat of arms which we give has been used by the descendants of Thomas Whitmore for over a century and a half. In 1726 already, the Revcretid J. Wetmore, of Rye, N.

He is still represented in the female line, but his male representatives are to be found in England.

Visitation of Cornwall, i62o\. The founder of the American branch of that very ancient family was David Fitzpen, great- greatgrandson of that He7try. He settled at Hingham, Mass., in 1635, and removed later to Boston, where he died in 1650. Chrdtien Du Bois, a Huguenot gentilkonime of French Flanders, lived at Wicres, near Lille, the largest city in Northern France. The leading family of the name in that vicinity, and that to which he evidently belonged, was that of the Du Bois, Seigjieurs de Beaufermez, and de Bourse, two old family estates. Two sons of Chrdtien decided successively to come over to the New Netherlands, after having escaped religious persecution, the first, Louis, at Mannheim, on the Rhine, the second, facques, at Leyden, in the Protestant Netherlands. Louis embarked in 1660, with his wife and two sons, for New Amsterdam, and settled first at Wiltwyck, in the iEsopus country (now Kingston). He lived thirty-six years in his adopted land, and left seven sons to keep up the name. facques came over in 1675 only, died a year later, leaving only three sons. He had settled at Fishkill. 99 AMERICA HERALDICA Crest : Between two tree stumps, vert, the lion of the shield. Mottoes : A. Exaltat humiles. [He upholds the humble.] » B. Honor et Jides.

He brought with him a consid¬ erable fortune, and was able in 1680 to pur¬ chase six thousand four hundred acres of land, in one tract, where stands now Princeton, N. J., and its famous college. In 1682-83 the first settlement upon this vast estate was consummated. In 1705, Richard Stockton died, leaving several children, from whom descended Richard Stockton, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, Commodore Stockton, etc., etc. The American Stocktons are recognized by Burke, in his edition of 1884.

These arms are clearly attributed, by Ed7nond- son, to “the Greenwoods of Yorkshire and of Norwich, 1594.” That date marks, more prob¬ ably, a confirmation than a grant, as this very ancient family is traced back to 1154, by Tho- resby, in his Ducatus Leodiensis.

Calvert The founders of Maryland were two brothers, Cecil Calvert, Second Baron Baltimore, of Bal¬ timore, Ireland, and Leonard Calvert, employed by his brother to be first Proprietary Governor of the young colony. Their father, having gained the full confidence of King Charles I., rose from an humble origin to the rank of Irish Peer and Privy Councillor, an office in which he maintained even after his transfering his religious allegiance to the Roman Church. The promised grant of concession was signed in 1632, and the province named in honor of Queen Henrietta Maria, daughter of the good French King, Henry IV. The fifth baron returned to the Established Church, and the seventh Lord Baltimore, dying at Naples in 1771, without issue, the title be¬ came extinct.

Curious to say, we do not find the arms we give under the name of Brattle in any Eng¬ lish work on heraldiy. However, the family of Batten, or Battyn, of Exeter, bears the same devices. Is there any common origin? We do not pretend to answer this question. As for the arms given by Mr. S. G.

Breese Sidney Breese, born at or near Shrewsbury, county Salop, England, belonged to the English Navy as a Purser, and is known to have settled in New York as early as 1733-34. His father was a merchant of Shropshire, and his grand¬ father a rector in Wales. That brings the fam¬ ily back to the middle of the XVII. century, and to that very portion of Great Britain from whence sprung the well-known family of Ap- Rice, or Ap-Rhys, from which the Breese fam¬ ily may have branched off, as the arms it bears —since the first colonist’s time—are the arms at¬ tributed by Burke to the Ap— Rice family of Wales. A seal, in possession of the above Sidney Breese, reproduced the crest we give. The Breeze, or Brees, arms in Burke are totally different.

Later (1649), owing to political troubles, the emigrant reached Connecticut, where he settled at Hartford, and owned large estates. He was a lawyer by pro¬ fession, and a man of education and energy. The ancient family of Burnam of Hatfield Court, in Herefordshire county, England, now extinct, in the old country, in the direct male line, was represented in 1570 by another Thomas Burnam, without much doubt a lineal ancestor of the emigrant. It is admitted in England, at the present day, that the Burnams of Hatfield Court are now represented by the United States Burnhams.

(Borbon Xinbsaip The forefather of the well-known family of Lindsay of Virginia, was the Rev. Daniel Lindsay, who settled in Northumberland county, Virginia, in 1645. He was the elder son of Sir Hierome Lindsay of the Mount., Lord-Lion- King-at-Arms to James VI. of Scotland,—the said Sir Hierome being the fourth Lindsay who had held that high office. He was the elder son of the celebrated David Lindsay, Minister of Leith and Bishop of Ross, the King’s Chaplain, and his Ambassador on several important occasions. His grandfather was Alexander Lindsay of Edzell, and a cousin to the Lindsays, Earls of Crawford and Balcarres. As such, his descendants bear as second and third quarters the Abernethy arms, found in the Crawford shield. We have seen a clear pedigree, down to the present generation, recognized, moreover, in the ''Lives of the Lindsays," a book of immense erudition, published in Scotland. f Crest : A cubit arm in armor, in pale, holding in the hand a sword erect, argent.

[Virtue (or ■courage) ennobles everything.] There were three distinct settlements of Elys in this country in the XVII. century. Nathaniel (1635), near the present city of Springfield Mass. ; Richard (1660), on the banks of the Connecticut River; Joslma (1685), Trenton, N. J. There is an unsubstantiated tradition that these three, or, at least, the two first named were brothers. One fact, however, is constant, that is, that all three brought over very similar coats of arms, the number of fleurs-de-lis only differing. Richard Ely brought over a ring given him by the King of France, and engraved with his arms. And old tankard of Nathaniel Ely bears the same arms; but only three fleurs-de-lis. We find in English heraldic authorities that the only coat of arms registered to a family of Elly, or Ely, is the one we give here, with the crest, taken from Burke. Arms : Argent, a fess, en¬ grailed, between six fleurs-de- lis, gules. Crest : An arm, erect, couped below the elbow, hab¬ ited, argent, grasping in the hand, proper, a fleur-de-lis, sable. no AMERICA HERALDICA The Ely Reunion, Held at Lyme, Ct., i8jg.

It was long an admitted fact AMERICA HERALDICA 115 amongst the members of this family that their American ancestor was the grandson of John Rogers, the compiler of the first authorized edi¬ tion of the English Bible, the pioneer of the English Reformation, and its first martyr, he being burned at the stake under Queen Mary’s reign, in 1555. But, in 1861, the researches of Col. Chester destroyed the foundations of that family tradition. The father of the Nathaniel above mentioned was the Rev. John Rogers, of Dedham.

IDurr^ The founder of the American family of Hurry, Samuel Hurry, reached the United States in 1795, at the age of seventeen, and his descendants have counted among the prominent New York citizens. This Samuel Hurry was the third son of Joh 7 i Hurry, of Liverpool, a wealthy and in¬ fluential shipowner, himself descending from the Hurrys of Great Yarmo^ltJ^, Co. Norfolk, in which county, as well as that of Suffolk, they owned estates. They were the commercial leaders in that active community, and distinguished them¬ selves in its municipal and political affairs. The courage, energy, and perseverance displayed by the Hurrys of Great Yarmozitk to obtain the repeal of the iniquitous Corporation and Test Acts are matters of history. Samuel, who had arrived in one of his father's own ships, obtained rapidly, in Philadelphia, a marked position in the business world, and acted as agent between the United States and the English shipowners in the adjustment of claims resulting from the War of 1812. During a visit to Liverpool, England, he died, and was buried there. The Hurrys are connected by blood with the Cliftons, Ives, Bracey, Watts, and other Nor¬ folk families. The arms we give were borne by the Hurrys of Great Yarmouth, and are recognized by Burke as belonging to the family. The distinguished Charles fohn Palmer, F.S.A., known on the other side as the “Sage of the Eastern Counties," thinks that the Norfolk tIuRRYS are descended from the ancient Scottish family of Urrey. The name of Urri occurs in old Norfolk County Records as far back as 1267. Crest : A harpy. Mottoes : A. Sans tache, [Unspotted.] B. Nec arrogo, nec dubito.

TRorton Bruen Obadiah Bruen, son of John Bruen, Esquire of Stapleford, Cheshire, England, was a freeman of Plymouth Colony in 1640. He removed to New London, and later, the family, or at least, the main branch of it, is found settled in West¬ chester County, New York. The pedigree is clear and complete, and the arms we give are those attributed by Burke to the Bruens of Stapleford. Two brothers, John and William Norton, the first a clergyman, came over in 1635, from Co. Bedford, where the family estate, Sharpenhoe, was situated, to Ipswich, Mass. There is an old MS. pedigree of the Norton family, prepared in 1632 by John Philepott, Som¬ erset Herald, which gives, in a rather romantic fashion, a so-called history of the Nortons, of Bedfordshire, tracing them back to Normile, a Norman, allied to the Valois, whose son. Sir John Norton, came over with the Conqueror. The family is mentioned in the official Visita¬ tions of 1634 for counties Hertford and Bedford. Brenton The devices we give here are given by Burke as the arms of the Brentons of Hertfordshire, England. They are still borne, with augmentation, by English naval commanders of the same name, all descended from William Brenton, of Boston, emigrated to New England in 1634. and who was later Governor of Rhode Island. Benoist Bard, Ecuyer, of the Isle of Rhd, France, took refuge in England, in 1685, at the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. One of his sons, Pierre Bard, came over to New York in 1706. He was known as Colonel Bard, as he commanded a Regiment of Her Majesty’s Foot in the Province of New Jersey. He occupied other high offices in the colony. Other descendants of Benoist Bard, the Hu¬ guenot refugee, started families in England. The Bards in America intermarried with the Marmion (of Delaware), de Normandie, Cru- GER, Belcher, Sands, etc., families.

On his tombstone was engraved the inescutcheon we give, which was granted by the Young Pretender to the Macleods of Rasay, in recognition of the free and courageous hospitality offered him by the famous Malcolm, a cousin of the Clan Chief, and an intimate and devoted companion of the unfortunate Prince Charles Edward Stuart. It will be remarked that the coat of arms given by Btirke, as that of the Rasays, is quite different from the one we reproduce—the ines¬ cutcheon even put aside. In fact, the Burke shield was granted in 1772 to some Macleod, who probably gave particular cause for satis¬ faction to the Hanoverian Dynasty, whilst the devices we give—and which were found on the colonist’s seal—are acknowledged in Papwortlis Ordinary of Arms as the ancient shield of this distinguished Scottish family.

The Hickses of New England and New York show thus a clear common origin with the Baronets Hicks-Beach of Beverston, Co.

Kent, England, it appears proven that a branch, of that ancient family [which traces back to Sir Richard Tylden (tempo. Henry 11 .)] went from Tenderden, Co. Kent, to Co. Sussex in the early part of the XVII. century; also, that another branch emigrated to America—the colonist, Natha^tiei Tilden, being a cousin of Sir Richard Tylden, who died in 1639, Eng¬ land. Elder Nathaniel Tilden [the American branch spells the name uniformly with an i instead of jv] arrived to and settled at Scituate, Mass., be¬ fore 1628. He had seven children, all born in England. Chosen Ruling Elder of the first church in Scituate. in 1634, he died in 1641. All the American Tildens descend from the above-named Nathaniel^ undoubtedly a scion of the Kentish house of Tylden.

This use of a coat of arms, being an- AMERICA HERALDICA terior to the first known attempt of manufactur¬ ing arms in this country, gives a prima facie right to the descendants of the above Richard Betts [or, rather, Thomas, as the elder branch is extinct in the male line] to use the said arms, which are those of the Betts of Wor¬ tham, Co.

His son, William, also a distinguished merchant, was a member of the Council for thirty-two years, and, for his success in capturing Cape Breton, in 1745. was created a Baronet. He died in 1759.

His grandson by his only daughter Elizabeth, William Sparhawk, assumed the name and arms of Pepperell, and was created a Baronet (1774). The second baronetcy expired in 1816, at the, death of that Sir William, whose only son, William Royal Pepperell, had died in 1798.

That family was seated at Hennett in St. fzdiott as early as the reign of Edward IV. {circa 1460). The arms we give are still affixed to the ancient manor house at Hennett, Cornwall. The colonist, Francis Rawle, was a “First Purchaser,” under William Penn, of two thousand five hundred acres of land in Pennsylvania, by deeds dated March, i68i.

ITilgbman The Tilghman family of the Hermitage, Kent Co., Eastern Shore of Maryland and of Phila¬ delphia, is descended from Richard Tilghman, or Tylgham, who owned 'Holloway Court," in the Parish of Snodland, Co. Kent, England, [tempo Henry IV.], and in whose family that estate had been as early as the reign of Edward III. [1326-1371]. A descendant in the sixth generation of the said Richard Tilghman, also named Richard, emigrated in 1661 to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, having bought the Manor of Canter¬ bury, which he called “The Hermitage.” It is still in the possession of the family. His grand¬ son, Edward Tilghman, the distinguished lawyer, removed to Philadelphia and founded the branch of the family still residing there. The colonist came over, it is stated, in conse¬ quence of political troubles, he having sustained openly the cause of the exiled Charles II.

Sus¬ sex, England, originally surnamed Villiard, and originating from Caen, in Normandy, was seated in Co. Sussex since tempo Edward III. A younger branch settled later in the southwesterly part of Kent, within a few miles of the borders of Sussex, and held an estate in the Hundred of Branchley and Horsmo^iden. There lived and died (in 1617) Richard Willard, father of ^<2/- tain Simon Willard, the colonist, who came over from Horsmonden to Boston, in 1634, with wife and children. He settled at Cambridge, Mass., and is known to have been possessed of ample means. • He was, later, one of the founders of Con¬ cord, and was for thirty-five years a Member of the General Court of the Colony. He made use of the arms we give. Arms : Argent, a chevron, ermines, between three jars or flasks [or fish-wheels] : proper. Crest 1 A griffin’s head, erased, or. Mottoes : A. Gaudet patientia duris.

The arms we give were those borne by the Venerable and Right Reverend Samuel Provoost, First Protestant Episcopal Bishop of New York. He descended in the fifth degree from the original colonist, David Provoost, a Huguenot, who came over in 1638 to New Amsterdam by way of Holland, where his family had settled at first. The Provoosts, or, rather, Prevosts, or Provosts (as they must have been called in their native land), came, originally, from Normandy, where the name is still largely represented. Our example is copied from a bookplate of the Bishop, engraved by Maverick, in 1769, and, undoubtedly, copied from old and trustworthy family documents. The Bishop married, in 1766, Miss Maria Bousfield ; but the impalement found on his shield does not represent the arms given by Burke to the Irish family of Bous¬ field. We are, therefore, induced to think that we have here a clear example of French her¬ aldry, showing, not a marriage, but the juxta¬ position of two shields, having belonged succes¬ sively, to the Provoost name in Europe. Of course, the Bishop used a miter as his crest. The crest we give is furnished us from another source. Arms : Party, per pale. First: Argent, three arrows, points upward, each one enfiled through a pierced mullet, sable. Second: Az¬ ure, a bar, between two chevrons, or. Crest: An arm embowed in armor, the hand, proper, grasping an arrow fessways. Motto: Pro libertate. [For liberty’s sake.] AMERICA HERALDICA 149 New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, VL.

Seymour The colonist, Richard Seymour, who settled at Hartford, Ct., in 1639, was undoubtedly de¬ scended in the third generation from Sir Ed¬ ward Seymour, the brother of Lady Jane Sey¬ mour the third wife of Henry VHI. His father was Lord Edward Seymour of Berry Pomeroy, Co. Devon, and his brother was Sir Edward Seymour, Knight-Baronet. On the seal of the emigrant were reproduced the arms we give, which are the original arms of the Seymours, not yet quartered with the royal devices. Arms ; Gules, two wings conjoined in lure, or.

The arms we give were constantly borne by the members of this numerous family, and are attri¬ buted by the English heraldic authorities to the Ottys, Otes, or Ottetes family of Skipdon.

REMARKS The reader will kindly notice: First —That no heraldic description is repeated in the Appendix that has already been printed in the book proper, except in case of error, or when another coat of arms is attributed to the same family. Second —That the engravings of coats of arms and crests found in the text [both in the book proper and in the Appendix] are simply tricked, i. e., the charges, etc., are drawn according to description, but without systematic attempt to show the tinctures by regular shadings. Therefore: For the design, trust to the engraving; for the tinctures, trust to the blazoning only. Third —That in stating Same Arms as . . . the editor simply means that such and such Nobleman or Baronet, of an extant or extinct family,—or such and such leading County family still extant—bear or have borne the same arms he gives, with due differences, marks of cadence, quarterings, etc., with this remark, that, if qtiartered, the arms are to be found in the first quarter, or, en surtout.

We have obtained the following complete details con¬ cerning the ancestry of Gover7ior George CLINTON [the second]: It appears that a letter of General James Clinton, among the George CLINTON papers, in the State Library at Albany, not only mentions the friend¬ ship that existed between Charles CLINTON [his father, and the first who came to this country] and Adr/ziral George CLINTON, Royal Governor of New York—who was the second son of the Earl of Lincoln, —but it states that the Admiral allowed that they were of one family, as one branch of the family was lost at the time of the civil wars. All other members of the house of Clinton are accounted for but a certain William, grand¬ son of the Second Earl of Lincoln. It is said that he fied to the continent after the battle of Naseby, in 1645. Five years later, he went to Scotland, in the service of Charles II., took refuge in Ireland, after the defeat of Worcester in 1651, and died shortly afterwards. His only son, James, died also in Ireland, and his {James') only surviving son, Charles CLINTON, came to America in 1728. He brought the arms we give, engraved on his seal, and in his last will recommended his arms to be engraved on his tomb. Same Arms as the Clintons, Earls of Hmtingdon (Ext. 1354).

POSTSCRIPT we close this comprehensive—but not, in any way, exhaustive—^work, we think that it is but fit to add a few remarks, and a few heartfelt expressions of sympathy and gratitude. And, first of all, let us put the reader on guard against the thought that we discriminated in the least when we chose a certain number of coats of arms to be inserted in the colored plates, leaving the others to be engraved in black and inserted in the text. There has never been, in this respect, any preconcerted plan of arbitrary classification; but the colored plates, requiring many months in which to be painted by hand, engraved in twelve colors, and printed, comprised our first and original effort. To this was added, subsequently, and, as the new documents accumulated on our hands, a nearly equal number of arms, crests, and notices, in every respect as worthy of public attention. In the Appendix itself are found none but legitimately used armorial bearings, with somewhat shorter notices, it is true, but without any discourteous intention, on our part, to throw the slightest discredit on their possessors as such. As for the selection of arms, etc., it has strictly followed the original intentions of the Editor. No arms have been admitted that could not be shown to have been transmitted through regular descent, or to have been used before 1720; i. e., before the invasion of the pseudo-heraldists, distri¬ butors of assumptive arms. As stated, also, from the first, no pecuniary considerations, not even the promise of one or more subscriptions, induced the Editor to open these pages to unwarranted pre¬ tensions. Working independently of the families themselves, receiving gratefully, but never soliciting, information, the Editor seemed thus to be gratuitously adding to the difficulties of his task. But his judgment was correct in so far that it prevented any suspicion of interested motives to come, as a damaging shadow, between the public and the compiler. Left to his own resources, he husbanded them to the best of his abilities, and he now gives to the American student of Heraldry and Gene¬ alogy a theme upon which to criticise, to improve, and, even perhaps, to manifest his qualified ap¬ probation. Indeed, many have done so already ; and the list of our correspondents includes nearly all the names prominent in the study of ancient family history. We refrain from publishing these, as we feel keenly on what delicate ground we are treading here ; and wish, above all, to call forth more precious help of the kind, in the future, by our discreet use of names. But our deep feeling of gratitude—as now expressed—will reach them, all the same, be they in Massachusetts or in New York, in New Jersey or in Pennsylvania;—wherever a kind voice has arisen to encourage the com¬ piler, not sparing him words of warning or well-deserved criticisms—all duly made the most of and methodically classified. s HERALDICA As to our co-laborers in bringing out this book—certainly a worthy specimen of American handicraft,—-to our friendly and talented illustrator, to the lithographers, who spared no trouble to give a proper dress to the expression of his artistic thought, to our kind and never-weary typo¬ graphers,—to the many helpers who have bestowed on us more than their time or their usual at¬ tention to business, we address here the deeply felt assurance of our grateful regard. And with these few last words, we lay down our pen, after a long period of minute work, hoping to have erected herein a durable—if modest—monument, not to the trivial vanity of a few, but to the sterling virtues and to the noble deeds of that colonial period which has made us what we are.

Y. 4 TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS HEN, on the 20th of March, 1887, the compiler of America Heraldica^ sent to the press the last pages of his book, he took especial care to mention in his Postscript, the fact that his work, if comprehensive, “ was not in any way exhaustive.” Such an affirmation implied the promise that his earnest and conscientious efforts should be henceforth directed, for several years to come, towards the task of completing, correcting and beautifying, with pen and artist’s brush, his first attempt to record the names and arms of those ancestors of the American democracy who counted, in the Old World, among the well born and the honored ones. Such a promise the Editor redeems to-day, guided and instructed by his growing experience in the field of genealogical researches ; helped by many items of information forwarded him from all parts of the country, from England, from Holland, from France; encouraged by letters, and words of mouth from such distinguished specialists as the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Seton, D.D., Edward Elbridge Salisbury, Esq., LL.D., the Rev. Beverly Robinson Betts, H. Farnham Burke, Esq., “ Somerset Herald,” George B. Chase, Esq.. Edmund Abdy Hurry, Esq., Frank d’Aulte, Esq.,—our esteemed friend whose sudden loss we mourned but a few months ago—J. B. Rietstap, Esq., J. Edward Carpenter, Esq., Mrs. S. C. Savage, A. D. Weld French, Esq., Richard C. Lichtenstein, Esq., R. H. Brock, Esq., and the heads of many of our best and oldest families, both east and south, Knickerbockers and Huguenots, Puritans and Cavaliers, from the sunny Carolinas to snow-visited Massachusetts. With but one ex¬ ception, the press of the United States understood the nature and the scope of this publication and gave it its intelligent and hearty support. The nonsensical accusation of class-building, of anti-republican attempt to create or perpetuate a blooded aristocracy, fell to the ground, as utterly void of meaning and possibility. Instead, there grew in the minds of readers and critics, a decided conviction that books of this kind are the natural born enemies of frauds, false impersonations, society “ humbugs ” and all despicable apes of old European customs and traditions. Nothing kills silly vanity and un¬ justified pretenses as well as clear, limpid truth does. When it is more generally understood that arms and crests have a distinct meaning and a genuine worth only when belonging to their bearer de jure as well as de facto, then the use of such devices, precious in their legitimate owners’ eyes, as the relics of an honored past, will be restricted to these few, these very few, who can rightfully treasure them as they do the faded miniature of a lovely ancestress or the battered sword of a soldier grand¬ father. Our readers will find hereafter inserted certain documents of real value, which are often quoted but little known to others than book-worms and amateur heraldists. They have been published before, but are not always accessible ; we have therefore thought that a compilation like ours would lack one of its most precious elements if it did not present, with such notes and commentaries as the docu- VI TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS ments suggested, the few home sources from which many of our designs and notices have drawn their most valuable details. , . Let us add, finally, that a few coats of arms-a dozen perhaps-inserted in our Volume 1 ., will be found again in our colored plates. Some important reason—altogether in the interest of exact truth—has guided us in this repetition, as will be apparent to our readers, if they take the trouble of comparing the duplicated shields. In a postscript-following a General Index of the whole work-we propose to give our con¬ cluding, unbiased opinion of the work as a whole, hoping for the last portion of it the same cordial welcome granted our Volume I. E. DE V. VERMONT. EARLY DOCUMENTS CONCERNING THE FAMILIES OF GENTLE BLOOD WHO SETTLED IN NORTH AMERICA BEFORE 1800 THE GORE ROLL OF ARMS We propose to place on record in this work a transcript of this very valuable collection of the arms of New England families, made during the last century. The original MS. is at present inaccessible, but the first publishers, the editors of the Heraldic Journal, defunct twenty-three years ago, had the advantage of a very careful copy, painted by Isaac Child, Esq., a gentleman well versed in the rules of Heraldry, and his transcript may be accepted as entirely authentic.* * The earliest coats recorded are dated in 1701 and 1702, the latest in 1724; it seems highly probable that the dates refer to the time when the memoranda were made, because there is no other reason for affixing a special date. Thus the first coat is that of Deane Winthrop, of Pulling Point, 1701. Certainly this was not the first appearance of the Winthrop arms, nor was Deane the head of the family at the time. Again, the arms were probably recorded at the dates affixed, since the earliest name of the Gores entered in the book was that of Samuel Gore, or John Gore, both born after 1750, and at this late date he could hardly have collected the information placed under the shields. These inscriptions are also peculiar, since they give only the rank of the bearer at the time named. For example. Spencer Phips, 1710, is called one of the Council and Justice of the Peace. Would any one in 1778, have omitted the fact that Phips became Lieut. Governor of the State in 1734? It is then desirable to know who was the artist at so early a date. Mr. Child’s copy says, made by John Gore, but it is certain that an English heraldic MS. which was preserved with this book, had inscribed in it the name of Samuel Gore. Mr. Drake has also a bill dated in 1783, from Samuel Gore to Gov. John Hancock, in which these items occur : To painting chariot body and wheels, . . . . ;^I 5 “ painting sett of coach wheels, ..... I.4 “ drawing arms on paper, ..... 3 From this we may argue that SamueP was probably the painter. I presume he was the son of John* and Francis (Pinkney) Gore, who were married in 1743, and that John was the son of Obadiah’ and Sarah (Kilby) Gore, and born 29 Dec., 1718. Savage records that the first of the name here was John' of Roxbury, 1635, who d. 1657. His son Samuel* m. Elizabeth Weld, and died in 1692, leaving sons Samuel’ and Obadiah,’ the latter b. 1688. This Obadiah’ was grandfather of the presumed artist. The successive generations seem to have been carpenters and house- wrights, nor can we learn from the inventories any mention of this book. The only suggestion we can make is, that since the dates under so many of these shields coincide with the death of the bearers, the painter may have been employed to engrave the coffin-plates, or to furnish hatchments or banners, both of which we know were used here at the funerals of noted citizens. We give the arms as they stand in Mr. Child’s copy, though many of them are of families not resident here, as this may show the amount of credit to be given to the artist. Several of the coats were left unfinished, and probably some were not distinguishable. Such as it is, however, the roll constitutes a very valuable addition to our sources of information, and research seems to confirm its correctness.

[Joshua Gee was son of Peter Gee, of Boston, 1667. Savage seems to make some confusion in the marriages, by saying that Joshua m. Elizabeth, dau. of Rev.

Lionel’s son James married an Epes, of Ipswich, and had a son, Thomas, born in 1692, the one here men¬ tioned. The MS., which was then copied for the Register, comes down only to this generation of Thomas Chute.

[We presume that this Christopher Kilby and Gilbert Mc¬ Adams were brothers-in-law. At all events, in 1760, Chris¬ topher Kilby, of London, then of New York, and Gilbert McAdams, of New York, joined in a sale of land in Boston. A certain Christopher Kilby married Sarah Clarke, 18 August, 1726, which may account for the quartering of the arms on the above shield. It will also be noted that the Gores and Kilbys intermarried.] PRINCE’S LIST OF ESQUIRES IN 1756* The first volume of Prince’s Chronological History of New England, printed in Boston in 1736, contains a list of 735 subscribers, embracing undoubtedly the most prominent patrons of literature of the day. The titles are given with punctilious care, and, at the end, the author writes “ seeing that * This list has its meaning and purpose admirably illustrated by the following remarks and quotations which we find recorded in the work entitled The Descendants of William and Elizabeth Tuttle, by George Frederic Tuttle : The title Honorable was entirely unknown in our records until 1685, and subsequently for many years was applied only to the Governor and seldom even to him. The next title was that of Esquire, and meant the same as in England, temp, Elizabeth and James I. Mr. Thomas Wells was a magistrate for 17 years, deputy Governor, one year, and was chosen Governor the second time before he was dignified with Esquire. The next title was Getitleman, but seems to have been soon discarded in Connecticut. The prefix Master (Mr.) belonged to all gentlemen including those designated by the higher marks of rank. Master corresponds very nearly to the English word Gentleman. In Connecticut it embraced clergymen and planters of good family and estate, who were members of the General Court, also, those bred at a university and those of sufficient education to manage the general affairs of the colony, civil or ecclesiastical, and who had been sufficiently well born. Comparatively few of the representatives of the townes, even though they might be returned year after year, were honored with the title. To be called Mr., or to have one’s name recorded by the Secretary with that prefix 200 years ago was a more certain proof of rank of the individual as respects birth, education and good moral character than anyone of the high sounding titles with which many men of no merit whatever in our day of swift locomotion are content to cajole others in order that they may be enriched in their turn with the same spurious currency. “ It may be observed by reference to our colonial records that there were scores of men of good family and in honorable stations who still did not possess all the requisite qualities of masters. It was seldom that young men of whatever rank were called masters. Sir was sometimes applied to young gentlemen under-graduates at a college. Goodman was used in speaking of the better sort of yoemen, laborers, tenants and others above the grade of servants, who owned a small estate and bore a good moral character. There are several instances of deputies to the General Court being called Goodman. Goodwife or Goody was the corresponding feminine title. Mrs. was applied to the wives of Masters and also to unmarried females of the higher class. Military titles were considered of a very high order. Previous to 1654 the highest military officer in the colony was Captain.” [Hollister's Hist, of Connecticut?^ Felt, in his History of Ipswich, relates that a man was degraded from the title of Mr. for a misdemeanor. Palfrey, in his History of New England, says: “ There was great punctiliousness in the application of both official and conventional titles. Only a small number of persons of the best condition (always including ministers and their wives) had Mr. or Mrs. prefixed to their names. Goodman and Goodwife were addressed to persons above the condition of servitude and below that of gentility.” \ AMERICA HERALDICA 15 some Gentlemen’s names in the List happen to be printed without their proper additions, and fearing it may be so with others, we crave pardon for such omissions.” We may safely assume then that the title Esquire annexed to 104 names on this list, was intended to designate those who were in the habit of using coats-of-arms ; unless indeed an exception may be made in the" case of those holding high official positions. At all events the list is well worth republishing. It is as follows ; the names being inscribed in alphabetical order; Richard Abbe, of Windham. Samuel Adams. Hon. John Alford. Job Almy, of Tiverton.

Lichtenstein, of Boston, from whose admirable compilation the greatest portion of this list is drawn, the leading American Book-plate engravers of the last century, and of the earlier part of the present century, were : Thomas JOHNSON (1708-1767). Samuel HiLL, who was in the profession in Boston before 1790. Nathaniel HURD, of Boston (1729-1777). Paul Revere, of Boston (1735-1818). Francis GARDNER, of Boston ( 1745 ). Henry DAWKINS. His earliest dated book-plate bears the date, 1754. Joseph Callender, of Boston (1761-1821). Amos Doolittle (1754-1832). Peter Rushton MAVERICK, of New York (1755-1807). Peter MAVERICK, of New York, son of the above (1780-1831). James TURNER, of Philadelphia. John Mason Furnass, a nephew of Nath. Hurd, known to have practiced his profession in 1786. Alexander Anderson, of New York (1775-1870). E. GaLLAUDET, of New York. Other signatures are also found upon several valuable heraldic book-plates of an early date; such are the names of Rollinson, Robson, Smithers, Child, etc. It is a fact worthy of 'remark that most of the Southern Heraldic book-plates are due to the hand and artistic taste of English engravers, as most of the young men of gentle birth from Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, etc., were sent England to finish their education, and secured, at that time, the book-plates which were to adorn their own libraries.

William Trevore, and Ely; two seamen; are com¬ monly, but incorrectly reckoned in the number of the first company of passengers for the Colony; Bradford himself says: “Two other seamen were hired to stay a year, etc., etc., when their- time was out they both returned.” Ac¬ cordingly he says of the Mayflower company; “These being about a hundred souls, came over in the first ship.” Afterwards he adds ; “ Of these one hundred persons who came over in this first ship together, the greatest half died in the general mortality, and most of them in two or three months’ time.” Omitting those two hired sailors who re¬ turned, and counting the person that died and the child that was born while on the passage as one passenger, we have the exact number, one hundred, of the PILGRIM COM¬ PANY, “who came over in the first ship.” And, as JiJty-one died the first season, this enumeration makes good those other words of the historian, that “ the greater half died in the general mortality.” AMERICA HERALDICA lp>bilips This Pennsylvania family of that name is issued from the county Lancaster, England, family of Philips of Heath House, founded by Nathaniel Philips, Esq., of Manchester (b. 1693, d. 1776). John, the youngest son of Nathaniel (b. 1734, d. 1824), purchased, in 1777, the est?Lie oi Ba^ik Hall, in the township of Heaton-Norris, county Lan¬ caster, England, and had from his wife Sarah Leigh [of the Leighs of Oughtrington Hall, county Chester, England], seven sons and three daughters. The second son, Henry Philips, came over to America where he married, in 1696, Sophia, daughter of Benjamin Chew, Judge of the High Court of Errors and Appeals in Philadelphia, Pa. Their daughter and sole heiress, Sarah, married J. C. Montgomery, Esq., of Eglinton, N. Y., and had issue. The third son of John Philips, Nathayiiel-George, died in New York, unmarried. The fifth son, James, died in Philadelphia, unmarried ; the sev¬ enth son, who settled at Philipsburg, Pa., married the daughter of Rev. Edward Lloyd and had issue. The estate of Bank Hall went to the fourth son, Francis, and after him to his son Francis Philips Aspinall.

Wil¬ liam de Sudeley, his second son, having inherited the estates belonging to his mother, Grace Tracy, heiress of Henry de Tracy, of Barnstable, county Devon, took the name of Tracy for himself and his descendants. The Tracys of Toddington, have furnished a long dynasty of High Sheriffs of Gloucestershire, and a branch of the family has been called to the peerage, in 1642, as Viscounts Tracy of Rathcoole. The head of this branch was the great uncle of Thomas Tracy, the American settler. The latter came over, in 1610, from Tewkes¬ bury, where he was born, to Salem, New Eng¬ land. He took an active part in the founding of Wethersfield, later Saybrook, in the colony of Connecticut. Finally he removed to Norwich, Conn., where he became one of the original pro. prietors of the “nine mile grant.” Twenty-seven successive times he was elected to the Legisla- 22 AMERICA HERALDICA ture, and was, in many other ways, entrusted with the management of public affairs.

Stc^chec The old Knickerbocker family of the name [spelt also Stryker, Striker, Stricker], takes its origin, in this country, from two brothers, Jan and Jacobus Van Strycker who, in 1643, obtained from the States General of the Nether¬ lands, a grant of land in the colony of New Amsterdam, upon condition that they took out, with them, to America, and at their own ex¬ pense, twelve other families. The offer was not finally acted upon until eight years thereafter, when the younger brother Jacobus, and his wife and children, left their native village of Ruinen and reached New Amsterdam in 1651. Jacobus Strycker removed later to Long Island, where, in 1673, he was elected to the responsible office of Schout [High Sheriff] of all the Dutch towns on Long Island, He was an artist of no com¬ mon talent and a portrait of himself by himself is still in the possession of his descendants. Jan, the eldest brother, followed Jacobus in this country in 1652, and became very soon one of the trusted citizens of the colony. He appears as a patentee in both the Nichols and Dougan pat¬ ents (1667 and 1685). The arms of the family as given here, were borne for centuries by the ancestors of the Knick¬ erbocker settlers of the name. There is extant a pedigree of the Strycker family down to 1791, giving fourteen descents, and Judge James Stry¬ ker (b. 1792, d. 1864), a man of great eminence in his day as a jurist and a patriot, took the trouble to make researches in Holland concerning these devices.

Bruen John Bruen of Stafleford, county Chester, England, descended in direct and unbroken line from Robert Le Bruen [an evident corruption from the French name Le Brun], already owner of the Stapleford, Cheshire, estates, in 1230. The second son of John Bruen, Obadiak Bruen, and, his sister Mary are known to have been in North America in 1639. Obadiah was entered as freeman of Plymouth Colony in 1640. Later he became one of the patentees of the colony of Connecticut, and finally figured as one of the founders of Newark, New Jersey, in 1667.

IDecbect A descendant of the Herberts of Pembroke, England, settled early in the XVII. century, in the colony of Virginia, where it is said that his widow married Francis Howard, the royal gov¬ ernor of the time. In February, 1665, the son of this Herbert, Francis Harbor or Herbert, settled in East New Jersey, and took the oath of allegiance in Elizabethtown. He became a large landowner in that region, and his direct descendants intermarried with the best blood of that colony and of the New York colony. They continued to prosper as civil engineers, surveyors and landed squires. A book-plate, undoubtedly anterior to 1740, reproduces the arms we give. That book-plate has been in the direct line of descent of the above Francis Herbert, of East New Jersey. Arms : Per pale, azure and gules, three lions, rampant, argent. Crest : A lion of the shield.

His name, with the qualification of “husbandman” is found in the Augmentation Office lists, in Rolls Court, Westminster Hall, London. The settler first resided at Ipswich, then at Hampton, in old Norfolk county. When Hamp¬ ton was included in the New Hampshire bound¬ aries, Francis Peabody moved to Topsfield, Essex county, Mass. He was one of the most prominent men of this town and a large landowner. The arms given were first used in the Ameri¬ can family of Peabody, after 1796, i. e., after the head of the family, at that time, had re¬ ceived a certificate to that effect, issued by a private Herald’s office, in London. But a slight value might be attached to this certificate, if we did not find the name included in Burke’s Visita¬ tions and also in J. B. Rietstap’s last edition of his Armorial Gdn^ral. As the fairness and honesty of Mr. Rietstap have never been doubted, we must admit that his colossal archives contain some facts substantiating the claims of the American Pea- bodies to the arms we insert and which they have borne now for almost a century.

Hbercrombie,orHberctomb^ This branch is the so-called Pennsylvania branch of the old Scotch family of Abercrombie. The Pennsylvania Abercrombies descend from John Abercrombie of Glasshaugh, second son of Alex¬ ander Abercrombie of Birkenbog, Scotland, Grand Falconer to Charles I., and of Elizabeth Bethune. The elder son of this Alexander, Alex¬ ander of Birkenbog, was the head of the Aber¬ crombie family, as the Abercrombies of that ilk became extinct in his grandfather’s lifetime. He was created first Baronet of Birkenbog (1636.) The Lords Abercrombie descend from the second son of the said first Baronet. Thus the Aber¬ crombies of Philadelphia belong to the same stock as the Lords of the name. The first settler in America, James Abercrombie, came over from Dundee, Scotland, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, about 1750. He was an officer in the Royal Navy and was drowned in the German Sea, circa 1759. He left one son, the Rev. James Abercrombie, D.D., a distinguished divine of the Protestant Epis¬ copal Church. His father was James Abercrombie, of Dundee (born Jan. 12, 1693); his grandfather was Thomas Abercrombie, of Dundee, who married (Sept. 15, 1684), Agnes Aikman, This Thomas must have been the son of the above-mentioned John Abercrombie of Glasshaugh, whose arms the first settler brought over with him. There is still extant the book-plate used by the first settler, who, having married (Nov. 27, 1753), in Philadelphia, Margaret Bennett, had her arms impaled with his own on his book-plate. Some ancient wine glasses, brought over by the first settler, had the arms engraved in a very old- fashioned manner. A few of these glasses are still in the possession of the family. The representation of the family is now in the keeping of the Rev. James Abercombie, D.D., of Martinez, Ca.; he is the greatgrandson of the first settler, as are also his brother, Charles Steadman Abercrombie, of New York City, and his cousin, Dr. John Baynton Abercrombie, of Pinellas, Florida.

S^ones Since Captain Thomas Jones, emigrated from Strabone, Ireland, to America, in 1692, and after doing his duty to his God and King at the battle of the Boyne, settled upon the valuable estate given him by William III., at Fort Neck, on the south side of Long Island, N. Y., his descendants have occupied an important position in the land of his adoption. The settler died in 1713, and Dawkins engraved, on a book-plate used by his grandson, Samuel Jones, the arms which the Captain brought over with him from the old fatherland. David, the son of the emigrant, was a judge of the Supreme Court of the colony, from 1758 to 1773, and was for thirteen years Speaker of the Provincial Assembly. His son, Judge Thomas Jones, who died unmarried, built the mansion known later as the Floyd-Jones man¬ sion. The brother of David, William by name, was the father of Chief Justice Samuel Jones, whose book-plate we mention above. The Chief Justice was a member of the convention of 1778, which adopted the Constitution of the United States. His eldest son became also Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the City of New York.

We find no crest described. Joseph Lemuel Chester, Esq., LL.D., went into minute researches covering the early ancestors, in the male line, of Colonel White and his illus¬ trious son.

The early settler of the name arrived in America before 1700 and married a Thomas, of the Mary¬ land Thomases. He settled in Fairfax county, Vir¬ ginia, where his son, Joseph Lewis, was born in 1713. From there Joseph Lewis moved to Calvert county, Md., and later to Baltimore county, in the same colony. His son. Captain Joseph Lewis, born in 1747, served with distinction in the Revolution¬ ary War. His son, Elisha Lewis (b. 1792), was a volunteer during the war of 1812, and promoted to officer’s rank on the field of battle. Later he freed all his slaves.

He resided successively in Ipswich, Salisbury (1640-45), and finally in Haverhill, Mass., where he settled and died in 1793- The name Ladd or Lade [both spellings be¬ longing distinctly to the same family] is essen¬ tially a Kentish name. The estate of Bowyck in the Hundred of Loringsborough and the parish of Eleham was, in very ancient times, the residence of the Ladds. They certainly owned this estate before the time of Henry VI., as various wills mentioning the fact executed by members of the family are still to be found in the prerogative office, Canterbury. Thomas Ladd died in posses¬ sion of Bowick manor, in 1515 ; so did his grandson, Vincefit, in 1563. It passed in 1601— through the marriage of Sylvester Ladd, daughter and co-heiress of Vmcent Ladd, into the Nether- sole family. The name is only found in county Kent and county Sussex, England, and all the documents point to the existence of but one family of Ladd, previous to the XVII. century. In 1730, Jolui Ladd, a direct descendant of the above Vmcejit, was created a baronet by George II. In the next generation the baronetcy became extinct.

Burke’s His. of Ext. and Dormant Baron¬ etcies of England, Ireland and Scotland, 1844, Hlinwibbie A book-plate engraved for and owned by Robert Dinwiddie, the Governor of Virginia from 1752 to 1758 [o. i 77 o]> is so characteristic of the AMERICA HERALDICA 27 heraldry of the time, and the name of its owner is so honorably connected with the history of the leading southern colony that we give it a place in this work. Besides, through the descendants of the governor’s brother, Lawrence Dinwiddie, Pro¬ vost of Glassgow, Scotland, the family has still representatives in America. The Dinwiddie is an ancient Scottish family. On the "Ragman’s Roll”—the list of barons and men of note who subscribed submission to Edward I. in 1296—appears the name of Alleyn Din- wiTHiE, the progenitor of the Dinwiddies, long seated on lands called after them, in county Dum¬ fries. Robert Dinwiddie— the governor—was born at Germiston, near Glasgow, Scotland, in 1693. It is evident, that the family arms, as borne by the governor, had been submitted after his successful terms of office, to some changes recalling his period of statesmanship in Virginia. So with the motto, which happened to have been that of many refugees and exiles before it was assumed by Robert Dinwiddie.

Thomas Norris had left England in 1678, with his family on account of the persecutions of the Quakers in England, which sect he had joined some years previously. They all but one perished in the great earthquake which destroyed Port Royal in 28 AMERICA HERALDICA 1692. Isaac, the only survivor, came over to Philadelphia, where he married Governor Thomas Lloyd’s daughter and became the progenitor of a large descendance. He is known to have kept jealously the proofs of his gentle ancestry, as manifested by his having his coat of arms—the one we give—painted upon his carriage. His son, Isaac Norris, was elected, in 1750, speaker of the Provincial House, and took steadily the part of the people against the proprietaries.

In 1634. Arthur Tremayne, of Collacombe, mar¬ ried a daughter of Sir Richard Greville, of Howe, leaving a numerous family, besides Edni^ind Tre¬ mayne, who succeeded him and became the head of the family of Tremayne of Heligan, Cornwall and Sydenham, Devonshire. The early settler in America, John Tremaine, who was born in 1612 and died in 1697, undoubt¬ edly belonged to this particular branch of the family.

Ikeacnip Michael Kearny, the American founder of this distinguished New Jersey and New York family, came over to America in the early part of the XVIII. century. After a short residence in Mon¬ mouth county, in the East Jersey proprietary Province, he settled, in 1716, in Perth Amboy. He had come from Ireland with ample means, and with a wife who died in Philadelphia. Mi¬ chael married later, Sarah, daughter of Governor Lewis Morris. He became successively secretary of the province, surrogate, etc. His son Michael entered the British Navy as an officer, and died s. i. His descendant, Philip Kearney, of Amboy, N. J., was a lawyer of great prominence; the 30 AMERICA HERALDICA grandson of that Philip, also Philip by name, became celebrated as one of the distinguished Revolutionary generals. The arms brought over by Michael and used by him and by his descendants to this day, are those of the Kearnys of Blancheville, of Drom, county Tipperary, Ireland. In the pedigree of that family the Christian name of Philip and Michael are found in every generation for two centuries back.

Sims This well known Pennsylvania and New Jersey family originates in this country with Johji Simm, born 1769, in county Cumberland, England, who emigrated to America in 1793, when he changed the spelling of his name to Sims ; he descended in the 24th generation and in direct male line, from Sym of Yetheram or Witram Power, Rox¬ burghshire, Scotland. The family are not connected with that of Sims or Symes, of Philadelphia, men¬ tioned in our first volume (p. 179), and which derives its origin from the Symes of Coventry, county Northampton, England. John Simms or Sims occupied positions of trust in Philadelphia and elsewhere, and is known to have visited the old country, at least once, for the purpose of collecting the proceeds of some inheritance. The principal representatives of the American family of the name are the Hon. Clif¬ ford Stanley Sims, of Mount Holly, New Jersey, sometime United States Consul in Canada, and now the president of the New Jersey Society of the Cincinnati, and his brother, John Clarke Sims, of Philadelphia, a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania. The family are in possession of data concerning a very full and interesting pedigree, based on deeds, leases, transfers of real estate, wills, etc., establishing the descent of the Sims from the main stem—that of the Sims of county Roxburgh, Scotland. The arms we give are known to have been brought over by the emigrant, and have been in use among his descendants ever since. Arms: Gules, a chevron between two stars [or spur-rowels], or, pierced of the field, in chief, and a battle axe [or halbert], palewise of the second, in point.

He came over to Boston in 1634, and his wife Christobel followed AMERICA HERALDICA 31 him over a short time later. He died in Boston in 1650. His will is one of the earliest on record. His son, Captain John Gallop, was killed in the Narragansett Swamp fight, December 19, 1675. The connection of the American Gallups with the Gallops of Strode is proven by documents and correspondence in the possession of the Massa¬ chusetts Historical Society.

Xispenarb Antoine Lespinard [more correctly Les Espin- ARDs] was one of the prominent Huguenots driven away from the prosperous city of La Rochelle, in southwestern France, by the early religious persecutions (1650). He brought with him to America—by way of Holland, his first refuge—his first wife, Abigail by name, and founded in this country, the promi¬ nent Lispenard family, now extinct in the male line. He settled at New Rochelle, but had his business interests in the city of New Amsterdam [New York]. Recent heraldic researches have connected this family with the northern Spanish stock of Les- piNAR, which was constrained to leave its father- land also on account of its religious faith, in the time of King Philip, II. [XVI. Century], and in the worse days of the Holy Inquisition. The Lispenards took rank immediately among the richest and most prominent citizens of the young city. The son of the first A 7 ithony, David, became a vestryman of old Trinity Church; his son, John, left no male issue. The son of the second son of the first Anthony, Leonard, married a Rutgers. His son, Anthony the third, married a Barclay. The male descent ceased with the three sons of this Anthony, as they all died without male issue. The fifth child of Anthony (the 3d), Sarah, married Alexander L. Stewart, of an excellent Scotch-Irish stock. Arms : Argent, on a mount, vert, a tree of the second between a small saltire, gules, in dex¬ ter base point and a lion rampant, sable, in sinister base point. 32 AMERICA HERALDICA Used as a Crest: A French Count’s coronet, proper.

Smith Samuel Smith, an early settler of that name in Philadelphia, came over from Europe to Ports¬ mouth, N. H., in 1740, but removed to Penn¬ sylvania and died there in 1780. Of his ancestry in the old country nothing is known, but the fact that the arms we give were brought over by Samuel Smith himself, engraved upon several pieces of old family silver, which upon close inspection, by special experts, have been proven to date as far back as the XVI. century. The son of Samuel, Jonatha 7 i Smith, married into the Bayard family, was a member of the Conti¬ nental Congress for Pennsylvania and one of the signers of the Articles of confederation. His grandson, Jonathan Bayard Harrison Smith, mar¬ ried a Miss Henley, of the Virginia Henleys, herself a descendant of Martha (Dandridge) Wash¬ ington’s sister. We find, on close examination, that these arms have been borne by an Amsterdam, Holland, family of Smith. The early settler came over by way of Holland. That much is known. A very serious probability arises therefrom that he belonged to the family the arms of which he undoubtedly used rightfully. Arms : Or, a unicorn salliant, azure. Crest : The unicorn of the shield.
