A lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched history of the coats of arms used by the ancestors of Howard Cox (b. 1944), 4th great-grandson of Chancellor Robert Livingston who administered the oath of office to President George Washington at the birth of our nation. Two principal branches—the Livingstons of New York, represented through Howard Cox’s mother, Anne Crane Delafield Finch (1918-2005), and the Cutlers of New England, represented through his father, Howard Ellis Cox (1912-1989)—form the foundation of a narrative that weaves a story of courage, entrepreneurial spirit, and a profound commitment to public service reaching back to the Middle Ages and including connections to William the Conqueror, the Anglo-Saxon kings, and medieval warrior-king Charles the Great, known as Charlemagne. The complex relationships in these English, Scottish, and Dutch families are illustrated in 22 detailed genealogical charts.
