The Great Migration

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Samuel Neve who settled in Barbados in 1682; William Neve and child arrived in New York in 1822; Allie Navy settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1849; Alexander Nave arrived in Maryland in 1716.

Motto

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: Marte et arte
Motto Translation: By valour and skill.
