This particular crest is a "combination" crest, combining the crests of Bushnell and Seymour...
Bushnell on upper left and lower right, Seymour on upper right and lower left.

The Seymore line can be connected to some of the Kings of England but it is based on starting
with the Wife of Joshua #26 (Mary Seymour, Great Grand Daughter of Sir Edward Seymour, Lord Protector of England and Duke of Sommerset)

According to our "big book" (by George E. Bushnell) Joshua#26 married a Mary Seamer.
Euphonically ("sounds like"), "Seamer" is quite close to "Seymour".   "Mary Seamer", our book says,
"was the daughter of Thomas Seamer and Hannah Marvin and the grandaughter of Richard Seamer."
If you repeat that sentence, but spell "Seamer" as "Seymour" then the same given names with the correct spelling allow one to pick up in English Geneology.

Scott's father, Reginald # 3879, (1916-2000), traced this so any Bushnell descendant of Joshua#26 can extend his line as follows:
