The Nicoll Family Crest
The emigrant, John Nicoll, Esquire, M.D., of West Caldershire, from Edinburgh, Scotland, settled, in 1734, in Orange county, N. Y. The arms the family bear are those of the Nicolsons, Scotch baronets, creation of 1637. Burke mentions these arms, but without crest or motto. No such arms of Nicolls or Nicolsons are registered at the English or Scotch heraldry offices. It is so declared by the actual members of the family, in perfect good faith. It is but fair to state that plate brought by the emigrant himself bears these same arms, as does also a very old family portrait.
