To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Wynthropp were among those contributors:
Wynthropp Settlers in United States in the 17th Century- John Wynthropp, aged 27, British settler who landed in New England in 1635 aboard the ship "Abigail" 1
- Miss Elizabeth Wynthropp, (b. 1616), aged 19, British settler who arrived in New England in 1635 aboard the ship "Abigail" 2
- Miss Deane Wynthropp, (b. 1624), aged 11, British settler who arrived in New England in 1635 aboard the ship "Abigail" 2
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: Hope wins a throne
Motto Translation: An anagram of John Winthrop.
