The Walworth Family Crest

The Walworth family, of Connecticut and New York, claims descent from William Walworth, the celebrated Lord Mayor of London (1374-1380), who was knighted for his daring exploits, terminating in the death of Wat Hilliard, alias Wat the Tyler (temp. Richard II.). The colonist, and progenitor of all the Walworths in America before 1800, was William Walworth, who came to New London, Ct., in 1689, for the purpose of introducing English farming upon ""Fisher's Island,"" then owned by General Fitz John Winthrop. He came from county Middlesex, England; and the arms we give have always been in possession of the family, who has obtained confirmation from the College of Heralds, London.
