Richard Bernard emigrated from his native England to Virginia before 1647 when he rented from the executors of William Pryor, a plantation in York County called "Pryor's Plantation." To the deed is attached a rough drawing by the clerk of a shield bearing a bear 'rampant, which is the coat-of-arms common to the Bernards of Buckinghamshire'. He died in York County in 1650, leaving issue.
