The Fountain Family Crest
The family of Fountain, of New York, has been quite renowned for the longevity of its members. The emigrant came over in 1650, and died at the age of one hundred. His son, Moses Fountain, died Ε“tat. one hundred and four. They established descent from the Fountains, or Fountaynes, of Bawcombe and Stokenham, county Devon, England, whose arms they bear. John Fountain, of the latter place, probably the father of the emigrant, was confirmed in his rights to coat-armor in the Visitation of 1620.
