Boynton / Boyington / de Boynton Coat of Arms -- This Boynton family coat of arms is reproduced from the Genealogy of the Descendants of William and John Boynton(1897). It is shown in "true heraldic colors" exactly as Sir Henry Somerville Boynton - the Baronet was using it (except that the label below the helmet has been dropped as that is used to identify the version used by the eldest son). The significance of the elements of the coat of arms are summarized as follows. The heraldic appendages of a knight are the helmet, mantle, wreath, and crest. The helmet of the knight stands full faced, with the visor open, which signifies direction and command. (The closed visor signifies preparation for battle while the open visor represents a return from battle, with glory and victory.) The crescent, or new moon, has been an honorable symbol, employed by many of the eastern nations. Hence the conquests of the Christian leaders during the crusades have given rise to the assumption of crescents as heraldic insignia
