The Stetson Family Crest
The ancestor of the Stetson family in America was Robert Stetson, commonly called Cornet Stetson, becouse he was Cornet of the first Horse Company raised in Plymouth colony, Massachusetts, in the year 1658-59. It is claimed by the descendants of Cornet Stetson [some of whom spell their name Stutson] that their common ancestor came from county Kent, England. Certain it is that the coat of arms we give was found among the papers of the emigrant, and must have, thereforse, an authentic origin. We find no trace of it in the English heraldic authorities.
