The Checkley Family Crest

The colonists of that name, Samuel and Anthony Checkley, were sons of William Checkley of Preston Capes, North Hants, England. We find the name of Anthony Checkley on Gore's Roll of Arms; also, a stone, with the same devices, on the tomb of Dean Richard Checkley (1742), in the Granary Burial Ground, Boston. The only similar [but not identical] arms to be found in English authorities are those of Henry Chichele, Archbishop of Canterbury, and of his brother, Robert, Lord Mayor of London (1411).
