Coat
of Arms
With the introduction of armor in the 12th century, identification of
the warriors became more difficult as much of the body and face was
covered.
By necessity an emblem or insignia was
required for
identification of knights in battles or tournaments. The markings on
the fighter's shield became known as the shield of arms. The knight
often carried another distinguishing mark on top of his helmet, known
as the crest, which did not necessarily relate to any feature on his
shield of arms.
From the 14th century onward, it
became
fashionable for social purposes to join with the personal arms the arms
of other families connected by marriage. The personal arms alone,
however, appeared on a knight's defensive shield, and it is those which
continued as the nominal arms of the family.
Heraldry
is the
science of Coats of Arms. The College of Arms in London was established
in 1484 and is responsible for regulating and approving Coats of Arms.
John Wingfield was York Herald of the College of Arms from 1663-1674.
The
Wingfield shield is described as Argent (silver), on a bend Gules (red)
Cotised (narrow band on each side of, and parallel with) Sable (black),
three sets of wings conjoined in lure Argent (silver).
The
crest
is the design above the shield. This can vary with family branch. Shown
here is the high bonnet with wings situated on a torse or wreath (cord
of six twists of alternate colors).
There is no
record of
explanation for the drops of blood on the bonnet and wing of the crest.
It is assumed that the blood drops are in honor of Wingfield family
members that died in service to their King.
Underneath
is the motto on a banner "Posse Nolle Nobile", Latin for "To have the
power without the wish is noble."
The bonnet and
motto on this Coat of Arms is from the Tickencote branch. The shield is
always the same for other branches.
The shield of
arms accompanied by the crest, torse, motto and other supports is
called an Achievement.

General Notes: I
have taken the following information from J Craig Canada's Family Tree
We
first find Thomas Keene living on Kent Island. This island, which lies
just off the coast of Maryland in Chesapeake Bay, was first colonized
in 1631 when Col. William Clayborne of Virginia led a band of about 100
colonists there and established a trading post. In 1632 the colonists
sent a representative to the Virginia Assembly at Jamestown. However,
Lord Baltimore had been granted a claim which overlapped that of
Virginia and on February 27, 1634, after a long and stormy voyage, 300
of his colonists reached Maryland. A conflict then arose between the
Kent Islanders, who wished to belong to Virginia and the Marylanders
who claimed the island for their colony. This dispute lasted for
fifteen years.
In Dec 1636 Capt George Evelin
appeared on Kent
Island and put himself in the good graces of the inhabitants by seeming
to favor their claims to Virginia allegiance. Early in 1637, however,
he changed sides and by trickery and double-dealing managed to supplant
Col. Clayborne as leader of the colony. He was given the title of
Commander of Kent Island by Gov. Calvert of Maryland and became a
virtual dictator over the inhabitants. Streeter says 'John Struman, Sr.
and Thomas Keyme, coopers,' were directed to devote their time to
making pipe-staves, assisted by seven servants. April 30, 1638, we find
this record: 'Entered by Capt. George Evelin for the Manor of Evelinton
in the Baronie of St. Maries:' Following this were the names of 23 men
among them Thomas Keane, William Medcalf, Matthew Roadham and Thomas
Orley, all of whom later moved to Northumberland County, VA, just
across the Potomac River from St. Marys County, Md. This might mean
that Capt Evelin was responsible for bringing these colonists to Kent
Island form England or merely that he took them form Kent Island to St.
Marys. Many of the names listed were mentioned by Streeter as having
been on Kent Island.
Thomas Keene may have been one
of the
original settlers of Kent Island who went there from Virginia with Col.
Clayborne in 1631. If he did live for a while on St. Marys, he later
returned to Kent Island, where on Nov 9, 1640, he patented 100 acres of
land in Hog Pen Creek and Chesapeake Bay on the West. We know that his
eldest son was born on Kent in 1642. The Proceedings of the Council of
Maryland, 1633-47, give an assessment by Lieut. Grall and Council for
levying 2000 pounds of tobacco to the account of the last
expedition-'levies upon the county of Kent after the rates following.'
Among those levied upon was Thomas Keyne.
In 1644,
Col.
Clayborne moved to Virginia, taking 100 men, for each of which he
received 50 acres of land on the south side of the York River. Thomas
Keene was claimed as one of these headrights, though this claim was not
recorded until 1653. The land grant states that William Clayborne 'came
up the Pamunkey River in the narrows abutting on the mouth of a creek
called Tankes, parting same land from the land of Captain John West's
running west to a point of land whereon said Col. Clayborne landed his
army under his command, in 1644.' Thomas Keene may have served for a
time with Col. Clayborne near West Point, Virginia. However, in 1648 he
was in St. Marys County, Maryland, where he made the deposition stating
his age.
Thomas Keene had moved to Cherry Point,
Northumberland
County, Virginia by December 9, 1650, on which date he and Willam
Presley appraised an estate. (North. R.B. 1650-52. p.48) April 13,
1652, an oath of allegiance to England was taken by a number of
Northumberland colonists as follows: 'Those names here subscribed do
promise and engage ourselves to be bound and faithful to the
Commonwealth of England as it is now without King or House of Lords.'
Among other signers were Thomas Keene, Henry Rayner and Thomas
Broughton, successive husbands of the same wife. (North. O.B. 1, p. 72)
Sept 20, 1652, Thomas Keene was paid 625 pounds of tobacco out of the
estate of Henry Barnes. (North. O.B. 2, p.289) Oct 13, 1653, we find
recorded: 'Now Know we that I the said Richard Bennett Esq. Governor
give and grant unto Thomas Keene five hundred twenty seven Acres of
Land Scituate laying and being in the County of Northumberland and
abutting Northwest upon the Severall Lands of Ralph Horsly and Edward
Coppedge South and South East upon Claughtons Creeke and North East
upon Cherry poynt the said Land due unto the said Thomas Keene by and
for the transportation of Eleven persons into this Colony to have and
to hold...' (L. Gr. B. 3, p.61) Headrights mentioned were Thomas Orley
(twice), Archibald Read, Thomas Watson, Margaret Browne, John Earle and
wife, Thomas Keene, Mary Keene and William Keene. This was recorded
after the death of Thomas and the patent was renewed March 18, 1662.
Thomas
Keene, the immigrant ancestor of this family, came first to Virginia
and then for some reason went to Kent Island, Maryland, where his
eldest child, William Keene was born in 1642. This fact is recorded on
the elaborate epitaph on the tombstone of his son William Keene. This
tombstone recites a full family history; 'William Keene, son of Thomas
and Mary Keene, his wife, was born on Kent Island, Maryland and brought
to Virginia where he married etc...' Thomas Keene took the oath of
allegiance to the Commonwealth of England on April 13, 1652 in
Northumberland County, Virginia. The name is spelled Kane, Cane, on the
early records and from this spelling as well as a later spelling it is
sure that the name was pronounced as though it were spelled Cayne. The
spelling even occurs in a few instances as Keyne. Thomas Keene died
about 1659 leaving four very young children to the care of his widow
Mary. Mary lost no time in making a second marriage to an Englishman
names Thomas Broughton by whom she had no issue nor did Thomas
Broughton leave issue by any other wife. He pre-deceased the said Mary
and left his estate to her children by her first husband. Thomas Keene,
orphan, of the above Thomas Keene was allowed 'one steer for two years
schooling, October 10, 1659.'
In the division of the
cattle
belonging to the orphans of Thomas Keene, deceased, the names of the
orphans were given as: William, Thomas, Susanna, and
A
record dated 30 Apr 1638 shows that Thomas was one of 23 men who were
transported to St. Mary's County, MD, by Capt. George Evelin to seat
the manor of Evelinton. By 9 Dec 1650 Thomas and his family had
relocated to Northumberland Co., VA. Thomas left descendants in
Northumberland, Stafford, and Westmoreland County in Virginia.

"He
may have been the son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Gosnold) Keene of
Suffolk, England. That couple did have a son Thomas Keene, named as a
grandson in the will of Robert Gosnold of Earleshall, County Suffolk,
Esq., 1615. That son also had a cousin, Anthony Gosnold, in Virginia in
1615. But absolute proof that the the son of Thomas and Elizabeth
(Gosnold) Keene is the same person as the Thomas Keene of Kent Island,
Maryland has not, to the best of my knowledge, yet been established
conclusively.
"He lived on Kent Island, Maryland,
from probably
1631 until probably 1644. It is possible he was among a group of
inhabitants who moved to St. Mary's county, Maryland in 1638, but if
so, he returned to Kent Island by 9 Nov 1640. He was probably with a
group of islanders led by Col. Clayborne that moved to Northumberland
Co., Virginia in 1644, but in 1648 he was resident in St. Marys County,
Maryland (just across the Potomac). He resided at Cherry Point,
Northumberland Co., Va by 9 Dec 1650 where he died in 1652.
"He
was a cooper and possibly merchant by trade, as well as a planter, and
directed the making of "pipe staves" while on Kent Island". 17
