The Symonds Family Crest

Here we are in presence of a clear pedigree, the family of Samuel Symonds, who settled at Ipswich, Mass. (circa 1630), having been established for twenty generations back, at Croft, in Lancashire, and Stratton, in Staffordshire. The arms we give were exemplified in 1625 to Richard Symonds, a brother of Samuel Symonds, as being ""the ancient arms of the Symonds of Great Yeldam, Co. Essex, and of Newport, Co. Salop, Gentlemen."" The church of Great Yeldam, Co. Essex, contains a fine brass in memory of Richard Symonds. The first wife of the emigrant was Dorothy Harlakenden, of the Harlakendens of Earl's Colne, also in Co. Essex, whose cousin, Roger Harlakenden, was the founder of the Harlakenden family in America.
