The Stoughton Family Crest
Captain Israel Stoughton, who came over to Massachusetts in 1632, and was made a freeman of the colony in 1633, was one of the founders of Dorchester, Mass., and the commander in chief of the Massachusetts troops in the Pequot War. His son, William Stoughton, a Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Province, used the arms we give on his official seals, and the same devices are found on his tombstone in the Old Dorchester Burial Ground. They are the arms of the Stoughtons of Co. Kent, England.
