This lineage is from the records in the old Coll. of Heraldry, London, Eng. ; Co. Histories, especially that of Surrey Co., Eng. ; from a family record, sent by the' late Lord Dorchester to Rev. Hiran Carleton, East Sandwich, Mass., an American authority ; Colonial Records of Mass., and the town and church records of Rowley, Ha- verhill, and Bradford, Mass. ; the New Eng. Historic Genealogical Society ; the Essex Institute ; from family records, deeds, wills, and cemetery inscriptions. The history, character, and social position have been obtained from Parliamentary records, records of real estate conveyances, and records contained in State papers, especially treaties with foreign nations. The family arms are those held by the Carle- tons of Lincoln and Oxfordshire, Eng., and are as follows : -
ARMS, Argent on a bend sable, three mascles of the field.
CREST, Out of a Ducal coronet, or an unicorn's head sable ; the horn twisted of the first and second. MOTTO, Non ad perniciem.
