The Duer Family Crest

This Royalist family emigrated to Antigua in Cromweirs time. Its chief, at the beginning of the XVII. century, was John Duer, who mar- ried Frances, daughter of Sir Frederick Frye, lived chiefly in London and Devonshire, but had large estates in Antigua and Dominica. His second son, William, came to New York about the middle of the last century, where he married Katharine, second daughter and coheiress of Gen. William Alexander, Lord Stirling. He was an officer in the Revolutionary Army. He left many descendants. These arms [given in Burke to the surname of Dever] have always been borne by the family. There is in existence a manuscript history, written by the late William A. Duer in 1847.
