ELLIS OF JAMAICA AND BARONS SEAFORD AND HOWARD DE WALDEN.

In 1810 the following armorial ensigns were assigned to George Ellis of Sunninghill co. Berks, esq. and his cousinsgerman, John Ellis, and Charles Rose Ellis Esquires.

ARMS.-Erminois on a cross sable 5 crescents arg.

CREST. A goat's head argent issuant from a mount vert.
MOTTO.-Plus unâ lunâ.

In the memorial for the grant of arms it is stated that the family was, for several generations established in Jamaica, possessing considerable property and holding some of the principal offices there; that from legal documents and grants of land by patent in the said island it appears that the ancestor of this family John Ellis was a Colonel in the army and served at the Conquest thereof in 1655; that he was by tradition descended of a family of the same name seated at or near Wrexham co. Denbigh and that he and his descendants used for arms (6 on a cross five crescents" and for crest a goat's

head."

[ocr errors]

At p. 277 of the Notices some particulars are given of Colonel Robert Ellyce an adherent of Charles I. who was of Gwesnewydd near Wrexham, but descended paternally from the Lloyds of Brodirist in Yale, of whom a branch was created a Baronet 1666. If this Colonel Robert were of the same family as Colonel John, as seems probable, the cross and crescents could never have been the arms of the latter, though possibly assumed by some of his descendants in Jamaica in ignorance of their true ancestral bearings.

The following genealogy is compiled from various sources, and is believed to be substantially correct:

COLONEL JOHN ELLIS from Wrexham, co. Denbigh served at the Conquest of Jamaica 1655. He was father of JOHN ELLIS Capt. 1653, who Martha had 5 s. & 4 d. of whom JOHN ELLIS, bo. 1675, mar.
