 The American Heraldry Society :: Index   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Adams had been stung by the bitter campaign invective of 1796, which had portrayed him—the man who had been perhaps the most prominent advocate of American independence in 1776—as a pompous would-be aristocrat and even a pro-British monarchist.
Of all the Adams devices, it is this one that has lived on into institutional heraldry in the 21st century as the basis for the coat of arms of Adams House, one of the undergraduate residential houses at Harvard University, Or five sprigs of oak acorned in saltire Gules.
Unfortunately, a later Adams genealogist found that the connection between Henry and the Devonshire family was apocryphal, and moreover that the direct male line of Sir John ap Adam died out in the 15th century.

The information that I have for the immigration date of Robert Richardson comes from the write-ups in the library at Snow Hill and from a publication on the Blakemore Family that says he first came to St. Kitts.
William Bishop noted that Robert was born in 1637 (ref not given) but came on the Paul in 1635 which of course couldn't be!
All of this of course does not prove that the 1660 Robert Richardson is the right one but it makes it more probable that he is.
