It occurs to me looking over this Early American Roll as Joe progresses through it (at lightning speed lately) that it really deserves study by those who would design their own coats of arms. There is some really good stuff and it’s right there to look at. Inspirational. Thanks, Joe!

Just to add to Joseph’s workload, the first and second arms of the Margravate of Azilia.
James, thanks for this. It looks like a fascinating tidbit of heraldic history. It also presents a challenge for deciding where to draw the line between what’s in and what’s out—the Ohio Company arms, for example, were never used but I put them in because they were devised in Virginia. As far as I can tell (I’d never heard of Azilia until this morning), Azilia never really existed except as a concept, but at least the arms were emblazoned. On the other hand, not (apparently) in America.
Decisions, decisions.

Would the board consider taking the final version of this roll and publishing it as an ebook available on Amazon? It would be good for scholars and students, and might bring in a few bucks for the AHS in the process.
Plowing through the Ss, I finally got to this one I’d been waiting for:

Captain John Smith of Pocahontas fame.
And, as an aside, one for Fr. Guy, the arms of Peter Silvester of Kinderhook, N.Y. (1734-1808 ) :

I think this is an interesting idea. We’ll look into it.
Good work, Joe, and thanks.
My maternal grandmother was lucky enough to come from a family whose genealogy can be well-documented back to the early days of Plymouth, Massachusetts. From the roll, I can (thus far) count Philippe de la Noye, Edmund Freeman, and Benjamin Nye among my ancestors.

Was it around the time of the second Stirling arms you asked yourself, "Why did I take on this project?"

No, I passed that point a looooonnnggg time ago.
Doing T-T-T 117 times would sound like stuttering, so I won’t.
Maybe the bugle horns on the arms of Malachy Thruston sounding "ta-ta-ta-taaaah!"
With the sort of silly arms of Dudley Atkins Tyng, the letter T is now complete.
Why silly? Well, because reading from left to right, the three arms on the tierced coat would be ...
