" These doubtless collected about him in the infant settlement." Mr. Blakeman is supposed to have come to Stratford from Wethersfield, and as the house lot of widow Elizabeth Curtisswas near or adjoining that of Mr. Blakeman's, this family may have come to Stratford to be under his ministry. In the will of Elizabeth Curtiss," John Birdseye, Henry Wakelyn, and Joseph Hawley were appointed overseers. Of these Joseph Hawley came from Roxbury, N. E., and also came to this country in the ship " Planter," in 1635, with Adam Blakeman, William Wilcoxson, and William Beardsley. William Curtiss's * family furnishes us with further proof of his having come from Wethersfield, Conn., and Nazing. He married for his second wife Sarah, daughter of Matthew Morris,' of Hartford, Conn., and widow of William Goodrich, of Wethersfield, Conn., and two of his daughters married into Wethersfield families — those of Rose and Welles. The latter perhaps was John Welles, son of Gov. Thomas Wells, as on the records John Welles calls John Curtiss uncle. The Curtiss family was from all accounts one of the most prom- inent among the first settlers of Stratford, and it has been claimed that they suggested naming the town Stratford after Stratford-on- Avon, 4 England. If this be true it adds another proof towards the acceptance of the pedigree with the coat-of-arms, 5 for Makestoke and Hatton were but small hamlets and Stratford-on-Avon was the nearest town of any size. That the name of Curtiss was well known in Shakespeare's town is shown by the fact that that poet used it as one of the characters in " The Taming of the Shrew." William Beards- ley, Thomas Alsop, and Richard Booth are also supposed to have been natives of Stratford-on-Avon, England, and as the Earl of War- wick had letters patent 6 to that part of Connecticut, it is more than probable that many of the early settlers throughout that colony were from Warwickshire. 1 Page I . 2 Page 3. 3 The name of Morris is found in Nazing, England. 4 There is also a town near Nazing, and now a part of London, called Stratford-on-Bow, and I have found the name of Curtis on tombstones in the parish churchyard of that town. 5 Page xii. 6 See Patent of Connecticut. (ix) THE CURTISS COAT OF ARMS Before going into the subject of the Curtiss coat of arms I feel that it will not he out of place to quote a portion of the report of the Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, regarding the bearing of arms, — " As there is no person and no institution in the United States with authority to regulate the use of coats of arms, your Committee discourages their display in any way or form. " Prior to the Revolution, as subjects of a government recognizing heraldry, certain of the inhabitants were entitled to wear coats of arms; but only such as were grantees of arms, or who could prove descent in the male line from an ancestor to whom arms were granted or confirmed by the Heralds. " Females did not regularly bear arms, but the daughter of an arms-bearing father could use the paternal coat in a lozenge. When she married, such arms did not descend to her children (except by special authority), unless she were an heiress marrying an armiger, and then only as a quartering of her husband's arms. " The mere fact that an individual possessed a painting of a coat of arms, used it upon plate, or as a bookplate or seal, or had it put upon his grave- stone, is not proof that he had a right to it. " Proof of right must either be found in the Herald's records or be estab- lished by authenticated pedigree direct from an armiger. " A coat of arms did not belong with a family name, but only to the particular family, bearing the name, to whose progenitor it had been granted or confirmed ; and it was as purely individual a piece of property as a homestead. Hence it was as ridiculous to assume arms without being able to prove the right, as it would now be to make use of a representation of the Washington mansion at Mt. Vernon, and claim it as having been the original property of one's family, unless bearing the name of Washington and being of the line of those who owned it." After the above, I hesitated to make any mention of coats of arms in this book, but as I have made a careful research on the subject, I feel that the results of this work may help some future genealogist to learn more of the early history of the Curtiss family. The coat-of-arms on the title page of this book is claimed to be (xi) the one borne by the ancestor of the Stratford, Conn., branch of the Curtiss family. An ancient emblazonment on parchment has been in the possession of this branch of this family beyond any doubt for over one hundred and fifty years and is owned to-day by an elderly lady residing in Bridgeport, Conn. It is claimed this emblazonment was brought over to this country by the first ancestor, but this I have been unable to substantiate. On the reverse side of this parchment certain data relating to the Stratford and Roxbury members of the family have been written, supposedly in the handwriting of Joseph Curtiss, Town Clerk of Stratford, Conn., 1 678-1 728. The records of the College of Heraldry, in London, Eng., show that this coat-of-arms was confirmed to " John Curtis, of London, Gent., son of William Curtis, of Hatton in the County of Warwick, Gent., son of Eustace Curtiss, of Malestock, in the said County, Gent., son of William who was son and heir of John Curtis, of Malestock aforesaid, Gent., by Sir Richard St. George Clarencieux, the 9th of May, 1632," 1 in the 8th year of the reign of King Charles I., and that this crest was granted at the same time. In the visitation of London, in 1633, the name of John Curtis does not appear, so it is probable that he left for New England soon after having these arms confirmed. For further proof of the above see page viii. The curious description of these arms on the records is as follows: " Azure a fesse dancette between three ducal crowns or," " Crest : A Lyon in his ppr. collers Issuing forth of his Collers Or and Azure supporting in his right pawe a Shield Azure & thereon a fess dancette Or Mantled gules doubled argent." A general search in the archives of the College of Heraldry, London, England, gives the following record of arms borne by persons of the Curtiss, Curtis, etc., name.
