The arms are described in heraldic terms thus:  Vert. three stocks of trees raguly and erased, argent. Crest, a lion rampant supporting an Ionic pillar, proper.  The heraldic terms used here may be correctly defined, thus:  Shield, green.  Three stocks of trees shorn of their branches, silver.  Crest, natural colors.  These were the original arms granted to the family and were last borne by William, son of Owen Stockton, and are registed to him at the Herald's College.  A second coat of arms was granted to the family, and this is the coat of arms which has been inherited by the Stockton family during many centuries of its history in England and America. Described thus: Gules,  A chevron vaire, argent and azure, between three mullets or translated Shield red, a chevron vaire, silver and blue, between three mullets gold.  This coat of arms is inherit to the Richard Stockton of New Jersey family line here in America.
