The Coutant Family Crest

On February 6, 1695, letters of denization were delivered, under the seal of the province of New York, to Jean Coustant, a Huguenot refugee of good family, who settled in Westchester county. His descendants have kept a clear pedigree from him down, and a full pedigree, also preserved, from the emigrant back to the founder of the family, Thibaut d'Ercuis, dit Coustant, or, Coutant, who died in 1293. Mr. Borel d'Hanterive, in his Annuaire de la Noblesse Francaise, has given the full genealogy of the French Coustants, now known on the other side as Counts Coustant d'Yanville (s not sounded).
