The Inglis Family Crest

The emigrant, John Inglis, came from Scotland, and belonged, it is claimed, to the Inglises of County Lanark. He settled first in the West Indies, later in Philadelphia, where he married, in 1736, a Miss Catherine MacCall. His high standing as a descendant of an old Scottish stock is shown by his being elected President of the St. Andrew Society of Philadelphia. He left eleven children;—and we have reproduced his arms from a bookplate having belonged to him. Another Inglis, the Reverend Charles, Rector of Trinity Church, New York, from 1777 to 1783, caused the same arms to be engraved on his wife's tombstone, in old St. Paul's churchyard. A later James Inglis, D.D., born in Philadelphia in 1777, was Pastor of the first Presbyterian Church of Baltimore. There is but one coat of arms used—with slight differences—by the many branches of the Inglis family of Scotland.
