COAT OF ARMS

The authority for the coat of arms may be found in Riestrup's Armorial General, Vol. 2, 1887.

The coat of arms here shown is that of a Marquis d'Urfe, 1612, the helmet designating by its facing front the title of marquis. The shield to the same is that granted over 500 years earlier at antioch in the first crusade by the assembled Christian princes to the son of the founder of the name and family in France.

It may therefore properly be designated as the Durfee Coat of Arms, being that carried by the head of the family for over seven centuries.
