 This drawing of the crest is by TLM-P.((Provenance: J. Godden.)) {{:crest_cropped.jpg?direct&300|}} It appears that TLM-P had tried to find out what the Prior coat of arms were, and got it slightly wrong. On 23 November 1885, he wrote about the crest in his Family Bible ((//Imperial Family Bible containing the Old and New Testaments//, London: Blackie and Son, 1845. Provenance: J. Godden.)) Part of what he wrote is hard to read now, but appears to describe his crest as he drew it: that the family arms are ‘Sa. on a bend arm, three chevronels gn. between stars of eight point wavy’. Motto: Malo mori quam foedari. Seat: Rathdowney, Queens County. This all was part of his determination to assert his family's gentry status and despite the family no longer owning Rathdowney.\\ This drawing of the crest is by TLM-P.((Provenance: J.
