We must Hunt for the CTs' Holders Cash and Stamp the boar's ass with my Seal:
Surnames were begun in the reign of Henry VIII. They were given to distinguish one family from another. Thus the son of John became Johnson. Or, the name was given from the residence or occupation. Our ancestors must have been interested in the hunt, a noble sport in Merrie England. Yes, we are English. Our coat-of-arms has the picture of a boar. It is described thus: Azure, on a fesse argent between three cirque foils or a lion passant gules -- (understand, no?) Crest - a boar’s head couped and erect between two ostrich feathers.
Thomas Hunt, born in Buckingham, came from Bucks County, England, was granted land in Accomac County, VA in 1636. He came to NC in 1659. He always used this seal on his records.
