The Winthrop Family Crest

The Winthrops descend from an old Welch family, tracing its ancestry back to Adam Winthrope, of Lavenham, county Suffolk. A grant of arms (1592) was obtained by John Wynethrop, of Groton Hall, county Suffolk. The coat of arms given by us is that contained in Gore's Roll of Arms, as used in 1701, by Deane Winthrop, sixth son of Governor Winthrop. We find it reproduced on the seal used by the Governor himself. The blazon inscribed on the grant of arms, mentioned above, is not absolutely similar to the arms actually used by the family.
