The Sumner Family Crest
The emigrant, William Sumner, of Bicester, county Oxford, England, came over in 1635, and was the ancestor of Increase Sumner, the Governor of Massachusetts, whose bookplate, bearing the devices we give, was seen by us in the Rousseau Collection. These arms are those of the county Surrey and county Kent Sumners, and old portraits of the emigrant are adorned with the same devices.
