The Bayard Family Crest
Anne Bayard, sister of Governor Peter Stuyvesant, arrived from Holland to New Amsterdam, in 1747, a widow with three sons, Balthazar, Nicholas, and Petrus. Her husband, Balthazar Lasrus Bayard, was of French Huguenot stock, his grandfather, Nicholas Bayard, a protestant minister from Paris, having fled religious persecution. The coat of arms of that eminent Dutch- French family in no way resembles that of the famous Chevalier Bayard du Terrain ""without fear or reproach,"" who belonged to a family of the Dauphiné province. Rietstap gives similar devices to the Bayards of French Picardy.
