The Prescott Family Crest

In 1638, John Prescott of Shevington, in the parish of Standish, Lancashire, England, left England to avoid religious persecutions. His greatgrandfather, James Prescott of Shevington, was one of the gentlemen of Lancashire who were required, by an order of Queen Elizabeth, dated August, 1564, to keep in readiness horsemen and armor. The colonist, who settled in 1640, at Watertown, Mass., had served under Cromwell. He brought over coat of mail, armor, and weapons, and used all these implements of war against the ever-troublesome Indians.
