The de Normandie Family Crest
Jean de Normendie, Seigneur de la Motte, of an ancient Picardy (France) family, was the father of Laurent de Normendie, Royal Lieutenant of the city and fortress of Noyon, who joined the Reform and retired to Geneva (circa 1546-49), Their descendants occupied high offices in the Swiss Republic. One of them, Andri de Normandie, failing to lead his political party as his family was wont to do, left Geneva and entered the service of the first King of Prussia. He was treated by that sovereign with great consideration and honor, and there are letters still extant, in America, showing how highly he was esteemed by his adopted king. That Andri came over, in 1708, to America and took up a grant of land on the Delaware, near Bristol. His brother, Jean Antoine de Normandie, accompanied him. There still exist descendants of the name in this country.
