To set the record straight, the entry that I have at the web site www.healdfamily.org and my world connnect file, I have included the following information regarding the coat-of-arm for Heald. Again, this may not be fact, as most genealogists were not living at the time, and cannot be eyewitness to the fact and there is not hard evidence to substantiate any facts. However, this set the record straight that it was not John Heald of Concord, but rather his grandfather that was the presumed "owner" of the coats-of-arms, and as I understand it, hand it down to the ancestors with the right to use it. Again, who cares? We do not live in the time of "Royalty" and all that BS. It's only a story, truth or not, it makes a story. Don't take anything so serious that it distorts the real world. It's only a game! As far as I am concerned, all Heald's can display the crest as they feel they wish to, and say it is the "Heald" crest. So be it. What I have found from other sources, this is the Heald Crest that my Grandmother displayed in her home when I saw it in the 1940's. Where she got it, I do not know. But she told me as a teenager, that it was in the "family." A may be coincidence that the design matches other information about the design of the crest. The information may give someone more information to someday, verify the "story of who the real owner is."
Bob Heald b.1933 Direct descendent of John Heald of Concord, with no doubt about it. I do have some doubts as to John Heald's father as I do about some other people.
To my dismay, I found no divorce or separations from wedded blessings of any of my direct ancestors, all with the name of Heald. I was always so impressed with the morals of the Heald's in my ancestry. Not to say there may have been some hanky panky going on in the woodshed, or that I am so pure as to become a saint. Life is a game to be played to your best ability. Enjoy it.

Alan Dale, of Manchester, England in 1978 wrote to Jack W . Heald, and traced the Heald ancestry to the reign of King James. In 1660 "Jame Heald", owned a part of Lindow Common.
Note: "Lindow Common is near Alderley and Mobberley in Cheshire."
Jack Wendal Heald , Heald genealogist, writes that the Coat of Arms for Heald, may have been given to Johannes or "Jame" Heald when in London, where he was "sort of" in King James I court.
When Cromwell took over, he eliminated all of the "Royalists" lands, coat-of-arms, titles, etc. of those that were granted by James I, hence the Heald coat-of-arms drawing is not in the book of Burke's General Armory.
A description of the coats of arm in the 1884 Burke, General Armory, states:
Arms: "Argent, on a chevron between three bombs sable, fired proper, as many bezants, a chief of the second".
Crest: " A sword and key in saltire proper".
Slogan: Nemo Sibi Nascitur, meaning "No man is born for him self."
King James I reigned from 1603-1625, King Charles took over in 1625-1653. Cromwell reigned from 1653-1685. King James II 1685-1688.
Sometime during the reign of King James, Johannes Heald returned to Alderley, his home. He had a son named William , father of John Heald of Concord who was born in Alderley, Cheshire Parish in 1615.
