KIMBALL COAT OF ARMS.

KIMBALL FAMILY.

The English forebears of the Kimballs were an ancient family of the county of Suffolk. The original orthography was probably Kymbolde, and several other forms of spelling appear in the English records, as: Kembold, Kembould, Kembolis, Kembolde, and Kemball. The American Kimballs are the progeny of two brothers, Richard from whom are descended the Kimballs of Connecticut, and Henry, who spelled his name Kemball. The coat-of-arms given in the family genealogy is: Argent, a lion rampant, gules, upon a chief sable, three crescents of gold. Crest: a lion rampant holding in the dexter paw a dagger au propre.

Richard Kimball, of Rattlesden, County Suffolk, who on account of the religious upheaval which was then at its height in the mother country, sought a home in New England, was among the passengers on the ship "Elizabeth" which sailed from Ipswich, England, for Boston, April 10, 1634. He was accompanied by his large family, and as he was a wheelwright by trade and a skillful mechanic, he proved a most welcome addition to the infant colony. Going first to Watertown, Massachusets, he was made a freeman there, May 6, 1635, and the following year became a landed proprietor. In response to a demand for a competent wheelwright by the settlers of Ipswich, Massachusetts, he subsequently removed to that town, and there spent the remainder of his life, plying his calling with energy and contributing largely to the welfare of the community. His death occured June 22, 1675. His first wife whom he married in England, was Ursula Scott, of Rattlesden, daughter of Henry Scott accompanied him to America and died prior to October 23, 1661 on which date
