The WEBB Coat of Arms was granted to Sir Henry Webb on June 17, 1577 while at Hampton Court (Elizabeth I was Queen of England). In a letter from Hiram Webb of New Bedford Mass., to Dr. Robert Dickins Webb of Yazoo City, Miss., year 1884, the following was written;

" The family coat of arms is a cross gule between four eagle falcons and border scroll, red with gilt letters, brown shadows on all, or crest out of a ducal coronet, and a device eagle displayed. Crown has 2 red and 3 blue shots all gold, with red hollows, scarlet shield, and edges light yellow. The cross shows that our ancestor was a crusader. The hawks denote swiftness and courage. The coronet that he was fighting under one of the confederate ducal sovereigns of France, and that he was an officer." The WEBB motto is " Principles not Men". " IN ALTA TENDO "
