Hi Listers =20
Although the dates I am looking at are probably outside the scope of =
this list e.g 1600/1700s. The basis of the question e.g the heraldry =
arms of the family probably may be best answered by a lister on this =
group. (note copies have also been sent to GenBrit and Warwickshire =
lists)
I have in my tree a Harris Family a branch of whom I've been trying to =
find in the Rugby WAR area about the late 1600s to mid 1700s. Their =
family arms as impaled in 1811 in honour of my ancestor Stephen Harris =
Tim Powys-Lybbe...

Impaled? Impaling means two arms placed side by side to portray a close
relationship between either husband and wife or office and the
incumbent (as in bishopric and the actual bishop). So what were the
other arms that these were impaled with?
|
born circ 1730? were described as being "Sable an antelope salient =
argent armed crined and hoofed Or" =20

I should be able to look this up tomorrow but as of this moment in time
it is long past my bedtime!

Can anybody identify this family, its possible location(s), history or =
any other details that may assist me track them down?=20
Thanks for any help and assistance provided=20

Others have managed to get their books out and I have been delayed. I
can add this snippet: In Burke's General Armory of 1844, of the 44
blazons for the various spellings of Harris, only two include an
antelope and both are from Devon. For one of these, Burke says 'Visit
Devon 1620'.
That Visitation has two entries for Harrys, pp. 139-140, and both appear
to be have been signed by the current armiger (good news) and there is
no sign of any addition after 1620. The preface makes no mention of any
later visitation but I would expect there to have been one.
