CREST (Helmet):
Non
MANTLE (Decken):
Not deScribed (Mantling is seldom deScribed unless other than the Primary Tinctures are used)
MOTTO:
None recorded
REFERENCE SOURCE:
ARMS (Shield) INTERPRETATION:
Argent - (Means the Shield is Silver (White))
between four Hearts Gules - (Means the next thing (the Oak Tree
Trunk) will go between 4 Red Hearts (Gules=Red))
an Oak Tree Trunk Eradicated and Raguly Proper - (Means pulled out by
the roots (Eradicated)) and having ragged or jagged edges (Raguly)
and is colored in a manner that would be "proper" for an Oak Tree Trunk, which just means to
use all colors for it - not just the "Heraldic Colors", which are all dark)
Sprouting out two Branches - (Means just that - Sprouting 2 Branches
which are of a Golden color (Or = Gold) as is the Tree)
each Fructed or - (Means each branch is bearing Fruit (Acorn) of a
Golden color (Or = Gold))
and Leaved singly Vert - (Means each branch has but one leaf which
is colored Green (Vert = Green))
So, we have an Oak Tree Trunk with 2 branches and 2 leaves, and
bearing fruit (acorns), that has been pulled out by the roots and looks ragged, displayed on a
Silver Shield.
CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
Non - (Means no known Crest was deScribed to be affixed by the Torse (wreath of cloth with 6 twists,
alternating between the primary tinctures) together with the Mantling, to the Helmet, which is drawn in Profile with the Visor
closed, or with no Visor nor Grilles - the kind used by an ("Esquire/Commoner/Citizen"))
SYMBOLISM:
Acorn - (Antiquity and strength)
Heart - (Humanity, Clarity & Sincerity)
Tree Trunk/Stump - (New life sprouting from the old)
Colors:
Argent (Silver) - (Peace and sincerity)
Gules (Red) - (Military fortitude and magnanimity)
Or (Gold) - (Generosity)
Vert (Green) - (Hope, joy and sometimes loyalty in love)
