The Poultney Family Crest
The colonist of the name, Richard Poultney, came to America in 1730, bringing with him his son, Thomas, born in England in 1710. The latter married a Miss Thomas, of the Maryland family of the name, and his descendants married into the leading families of that state and of Virginia. Thomas Poultney was a Quaker, and, as such, held in small esteem all distinction of rank or birth. It is, however indisputable that Richard Poultney and his son descended from the Poultneys of Miserton, Co. Leicester and Co. York, one of whose ancestors, Thomas Poultney (1442-1507), was High Sheriff of the County, tempo Edward IV.
