The Sears Family Crest

The devices here given, accepted by Burke as belonging to the American Sears, are said to have been the arms of John Sayers, a prominent Colchester, England, citizen, who died there in 1509. The family seems to have taken root in the Protestant Netherlands, where the father of the emigrant, John Bourchier Sears, was born. His mother was a Van Egmond, from one of the most illustrious Holland houses. Richard Sears, the emigrant, died in 1676, at Yarmouth, Mass., where he had settled.
