Christian Crull/Crall/Croll Signatures
The signatue below belongs to the Christian Croll who originally lived in Bucks County, PA and then in 1773 they buy a farm in Frederick county, MD near the town of Thurmont. In 1781 they sell this farm. He has one son Peter who it is possible was John Peter Crull who moves to Bedford, County, PA.
Look at the signatur below. It looks to me like he writes a long J through the middle then adds a C on the left and a k on the right. Please comment on what you thnk his mark is. Just C K or C J K?
The next signature is from Christian Croll of York County, PA. They lived in the same timeframe in Colonial America. This was provided by Larry Croll one of his descendents. This was the signature on his will when he was in ill health.
Crull/Krull Coat of Arms
I have been searching for all the possible lines of Crull’s and I have decided that a good way to identify the major lines would be to identify the different Coat of Arms and the areas they came from.
According to Henry G. Crull, my ancestors spelled their name Krall. Frank Allaben believes that the Krall’s of PA and then Frederick County, MD were descendents of a princely family anceiently seated in Bohemia, Kral of Dobra Voda. This is the Krall family Shield.
Krall Coat of Arms
This one is from the Crull’s of Normandy France who were of Norse descent and help conquer England and Ireland with William the Conqueror. The motto “Nil Moror Ictus” (loosely translated as “do not delay when struck”).
The following coat of arms is from the Lubeck area of Germany. I have also included the book from which this image originally came. It is in German so enjoy.
The next two are from Edelleute and Sachsen Germany and are very similar so I would expect them to be the same family.
The last one is from the Edelleute, Nachtrage area. This one looks like two families combined.
The following Krull Coat of Arms was sent to me by Hans Juergen Krull.
