    3. >From N. ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER 1878 VOL. 32 Page 88. Motto of the Williams Arms.-The transcription of the Welch moto in the coat-of-arms attributed to Robert Williams of Roxbury, in the "Williams Genealogy," is incorrect. "Y fyno dwy y fydd" can only read, What two (women, cows, in fact anything feminine) will, will be. Not wishing to keep the family any longer in the guise of an upholder of such widely extended female suffrage, I would suggest that for the feminine numeral dwy (two), they substitute the proper word Duw (God), when Welch and English will agree in "Y fyno Duw, y fydd;" What God willeth, will be.
