Many of the Lords descend from a family of Thomas and Dorothy (Bird) Lord, who came to Hartford, CN from London, originally Towchester, in 1635. When Dorothy, as a widow, signed her last will, she used the seal of her late husband "and the memorial bearings as thereon depicted, correspond exactly with the arms of DeLaward alias Lord, and from this circumstance it appears that the family were of Norman origin, as early as 1380."
