Looks like a family crest.
The family, that apparently build the entire neighborhood, came from Netherlands and around 1660. At that time "Netherlands" included current Netherlands, Belgium and some other territories. If it's indeed the Fleur-de-lys, it wouldn't be that crazy because Flanders (currently in Belgium, at that time part of the "greater" Netherlands) used to be French for sometime. But it's a symbol of French Royalty and their relatives, so this is no simple family if that's the case. Why would the Lefferts emigrate if they were related to French Royalty?
The poppy is English, if I'm not mistaken.
We could use a picture Emil.
