The Mather Family Crest

The arms we give are attributed by Burke to the Mathers of Maytone, county Armagh, Twyford, county Derby, and New Orleans, in the United States of America. The same arms were confirmed in 1575 to the Mathers of Seacroft, county York. Another family of Mathers, ancestors of the Rev. Cotton Mather [his grandfather, Rev. Richard Mather, was the emigrant of the name], is stated to have borne only slightly different arms, and to have come from Lowton, county Lancaster. In the Cotton Mather arms the fess is wavy and charged with three lionels rampant. The crest is a lion séjant.
