Arms Generally notes for Thomas Richardson
From Smith of Doncaster, p. 212:
Arms: Ermine, on a chief argent, three lions heads erased proper
Crest: A lion’s head, erased proper.
However these arms are the same as the family of Richardsons of Bierley, Yorks which are well documented in Visitations, etc. So I have to conclude that they were copied by Thomas Richardson or by a descendant of his or by Henry Ecroyd Smith, the author of ‘Smiths of Doncaster’.
