The Hancock Family Crest
The emigrant, Nathaniel Hancock, who settled in Cambridge, Mass., and died in 1652, is not proved to have ever claimed arms. Most probably, the grant of armorial devices was obtained by his descendant, Governor John Hancock, on account of the high offices he filled successively. John Hancock was one of the signers of the independence. His seal reproduces the arms we publish.
