Crandall Coat of Arms

The Coat-of-Arms (Crandall)
			(National Research Society, Washington, D.C.)

Burk’s "General Armory" and "Encyclopedia of Heraldry" does not list any Armorial Coat for the 
Crandall or Crandall Family. Since Crandall and Crandell are modifications of the welsh name, 
CRAN, it is believed that those bearing the surnames Crandall and Crandell can lay claim to the 
Cran, Coat of Arms. Riestap, in his "Armorial General, describes the Cran family Coat of Arms 
as follows:

        ARMORIAL COAT: 
        Per Fess; in top half or a crane argent; in bottom half argent the letter X sable.

EXPLANTION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE SYMBOLS AND COLORINGS OF THE 
ABOVE ARMORAL COAT;

        OR yellow or gold, denotes generosity and elevation of mind.
        
        ARGENT, white or silver, signifies peace and sincerity.
        
        SABLE or black, denotes constancy and sometimes, but most rarely, grief.

        THE CRANE or STORK is the emblem of Filial duty, and is also the emblem of a grateful.
        
THE FAMILY CREST: (Belonging to the above Armorial Coat). A crane issuant. (No motto 
is given to the Cran Coat.)

Since the name Crandall is taken, from the words "Crane Dale, a low lying section near the Welsh 
border inhabited by Cranes, it is reasonable to assume the significance of the Cranes in the Coat of 
Arms.

Col. A. Julian Crandall called on the writer in Florida and loaned him the Crandall Coat saying that he 
had investigated and had come to the conclusion that the coat was intended for the Crandall family and 
had several copies made for members of the family.
