The Mascarène Family Crest
In 1535, lived in Castres, in southern France, a family of gentle blood and strong protestant convictions. Its chief was Martin Mascarène, whose descendants had to fly on religious motives, and took refuge in England, where they were naturalized. Later, Jean Paul Mascarène came over to America in 1711, as an English officer. He settled in Boston, and we find there his tombstone, with arms engraved, in the old Granary Burying Ground (1760). A Mascarène family still exists in southern France with a similar coat of arms.
