The Ludwell Family Crest

This old family, extinct in America, in the male line, came over in 1650, to Virginia, from Somersetshire, England. We have in our possession a bookplate of Philip Ludwell, of Green Springs, Va., dated 1751, and reproducing the devices we give. The pedigree .is clear, but we fail to find the coat of arms in either of the usually-consulted English authorities. No crest is known to have belonged to the family, or to have been used by any of its members.
