That story is in the article I mentioned to you. It also references a
seal that was used by one of Richard's sons, George, on various documents
currently in the Maryland archives. I have never seen a copy of this
seal nor have I been able to get anyone to go there and get me a
photograph or drawing. But descriptions indicate that it is the same
coat of arms used by the Wells of Saltash in England implying a
descendancy from that family.
There were no male descendants past the grandchildren of Richard (as far
as we can tell).
