The Bulkley Family Crest

Peter Bulkley, the emigrant (1635), descended from a family of gentle blood, settled in county Bedford, England, in which the names of Peter and Edward were, and are still, generally used. The Bulkleys figure on Prince's list (Boston, 1736), as Esquires. The father of the emigrant, the Rev. Edivard Bulkley, D.D., was born in Woodhill, county Bedford, in 1582. 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. A Pennsylvania family of Buckleys (emigrant, Phineas Buckley, of London, 1713), bears the same arms, crest, and motto, as the Bulkleys of New England and New York.
