Hi ROY.The crest we haveis a white shield with a cross.Above is one knightwith a helmet.Below is a banner which reads" Mac iter elysum noblis" the writing is small and i never studied Latin.There is some dispute about whether the Draytons are of nobility.If from landed nobility why leave England? Hope this helps. Roxana
