According to tradition, the Clagett family sprung from Norman stock, the progenitor of the race having landed in England with William the Conqueror in 1066 and participated in the Battle of Hastings. The Reverened John Eversfield, a distinguished divine, who was born in England about 1701, emigrated to Maryland and married Eleanor, daughter of Richard Clagett Sr.; says in his diary - "Clagett of Houghton, County Cambridge, England, born prior to 1100, assumed in 1104 the arms as since borne by the family:

ERM., on a fesse sa., 3 pheons OR. Crest: An eagle's head erased ERM. ducally crowned OR, betw. two wings sa. Motto: Gratia Dei Grata.

Rev. Eversfield was a man of scholarly attainments and it is assumed that he had carefully investigated the lineage.
