Argent a Crocodile proper
It is thought that the Rossiter's of Paignton in the county of Devon came from Wexford in Ireland in about 1740 (source Merv Rossiter @ Rossiter Research Registry).
The Rossiters who went to Wexford in 1169 took with them the Arms as shown in the Coat of Arms of the Rossiters of Coombe, Somerset. At a later date a crocodile was added to the Shield. This also now happens to be the Coat of Arms for the Rossiter's of Paignton which implies that the Rossiter's of Paignton came from Wexford
