The Pierrepont Family Crest

James Pierrepont was the first emigrant of the name, and settled at Ipswich, Mass. The arms we give are in the family from the first American generations. These arms are those of the Pierreponts, Earls Manvers and Dukes of Kingston [extinct]. Mr Whitmore, always strict, and even severe, in such matters, declares that he sees no impossibility ""nor absurdity in trying to trace the emigrant to a common origin.
