The Dumaresq Family Crest

Before 1291, a Norman family of Dumaresq settled on the island of Jersey, and a clear record of its pedigree from William Dumaresq (1390) is still preserved. One of the descendants of the above, philip Du Maresq, was a commander in the Royal British Navy, and crossed frequently the ocean, bringing Huguenot emigrants over to New England. In 1716, he married, in Boston, a Miss Susannah Ferris, and began the American family of Dumaresq. Burke endorses this pedigree.
