The Wendell Family Crest

The emigrant, Evert fansen Wendell, came from Emden, East Friesland, now Hanover, before 1642. His family was originally from Rynland, or, Delftland, whence they fled to avoid the religious persecution of the Duke of Alva. In 1651 the emigrant removed to Fort Orange [Albany]. He was then an Elder of the Old Dutch Church, and the arms we give were placed on the east window as a memorial to his virtues as a man and a citizen. The Old Dutch Church, of Albany, was demolished in 1806, but the window preserved with arms and inscription. The Hon. facob Wendell, grandson of the emigrant, made use of the same arms.
