The Bellingham Family Crest
Richard Bellingham was Royal Governor of Massachusetts in 1641. Born in 1590, in Boston, county Lincoln, England, he was made Probate of his native town. In the same neighborhood [in England] is to be found yet a family bearing the same arms. We find them, here, on a seal affixed to a deed signed in 1650 by William Bellingham, a son of the Governor.Burke furnishes us with the crest. Drake gives a stag's head and neck in profile.
