Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: James Kinnimonth arrived in Virginia in 1748; Mr. Cinnamond, aged 35; settled in New Orleans, La. in 1821. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Stabo Motto Translation: I shall stand.
The Kennemer Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Kennemer Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 23 September 2010 at 15:40. ©2000-2013 Swyrich Corporation.
