Further trying to broaden our coverage beyond the English-speaking East Coast, I’ve added the arms of six colonial governors of Russian Alaska to the Roll of Early American Arms:

Capt Ludwig Hagemeister (1818)

Lt Cmdr Matvey Muravyev (1825-30)

Capt Baron Ferdinand von Wrangel (1830-35)

Actually, I just realized that only the first two of these meet the criteria for the REAA (the arms must be borne within the present day USA before the end of 1825).  I’ll move those that don’t belong to a separate "colonial governors roll as I have the time.
