The name of Busteed is
BUSTEED found in England and Ireland under such spellings, in works of heraldry, as Bustard, in Devonshire ; Busteed, in English; and Busterd, in Ireland. All three of these families bore crests. The Devonshire family bore the following shield : Ar. on a fesse au between three ogresses, as many bustards or. The Bustards of other families have similar crests and shields in which the bird called the bustard figures in a more or less different manner. The name therefore must be derived from the bird. Bus- teed proper has had for a shield : Lozengy ar. and qu. a chev. az. Crest-An eagle raising
