It is very unlikely to be a fleur de lys.
Brooklyn has prominent Dutch and English roots. But it was never a French colony.
Plus if it is a fleur de lys then i would bet my big toe that it's not the Lefferts family crest.
Wheat makes a lot more sense. The wheat makes obvious sense for Brooklyn. But it's also a symbol for wealth and prosperity so a merchant family may well adopt it on their crest.
As for the poppy are you sure it wasn't a rose?

That would make more sense. Rose=wealth poppy=hope.
*edit* Sorry I just released I could be totally wrong. I'm a total history buff but I really haven't explored U.S. history. I'm drawing on a knowledge of medieval European Heraldry but for all I know there are massive differences. *edit*
But keep me posted please.
