Heraldry of Smith

of the Name of Smith. 49
Thefe bearings fo ftrongly refemble thofe of Sir Richard
Sutton, co-founder with Bifhop Smith of Brazenofe College,
and which occur together with the chevron and rofes (No. 5)
of that prelate on the feal of Brazenofe, that it feems to me
the recorder of them 1 erroneoufly attributed them to Smith
inftead of Sutton. Sutton's arms were — Quarterly, ift and
4th, Argent, a chevron between three bugle-horns ftringed
fable, for Sutton ; 2nd and 3rd, Argent, a chevron between three
croffes crofslet, for Samfbury. William Smith being Bifhop of
Lincoln may perhaps account for their being attributed to Smith
of Lincolnjhire.
