STEARNS The Stearns family of Amer- ica are descended from the Sternes of England, an ancient and honorably family of that king- dom. In Winthrop's "Journal" the name is written Sterne, as it is in the early town and county records of New England. Very few branches of the family in the United States retain the original spelling, the usual form being Stearns, although in the south Starns and Starnes are occasionally met with. The family in England bore arms which show some variation. The form generally used is that of the Archbishop of York. Or, a chev- ron between three crosses flory sable. Crest, a cock starting proper. The mantling is or- namental and a ribbon below is without motto.
