Description
Excerpt from The Trowbridge Genealogy: History of the Trowbridge Family in America
The arms borne by the Trowbridge family are what are termed in heraldry armes parlanfes, because of their allusion to the nameh-t-he. Bridge and the water running through. In the earliest heraldry, whenever it was possible, the object chosen was one whose name bore sufficient resemblance in sound to suggest the name of the bearer of it. This characteristic of the Trowbridge arms is an evidence of their antiquity.
In A Treatise on Heraldry by Woodward and Burnett, page 362, is printed the following account of the use of the bridge in heraldry.
