Other Lumley families use parrots proper gorged and some sort of Fess. The engrailed Fess represents the crossing of the Atlantic. The three Bezants represent the original armiger and their two heirs. The ducal Coronet is borrowed from the Arms of George Washington because an ancestor of the armiger served in the Virginia Army under Washington in the American Revolution. The Griffin is half Eagle, referring to the symbol of America, and half Lion, referring to the symbol of England, alluding to the ancestry of the Armiger in the colours of Gules, Argent, and Azure- colours of the British, American, and Texas flags. The St Cuthbert Cross refers to County Durham, England, where the family name originates. The Griffin is in the coward position denoting humility. The Motto translates as “God and my right” but here the “right” is to bear arms as well as a pun on the famous motto, again referring to British origins of the family. The badge is a White Rose, a symbol of York as well as the official flower of the United States and the State of New York, home to the Armiger at the time of the Assumption of Arms, crowned with the Coronet from the Crest. | Other Lumley families use parrots proper gorged and some sort of Fess.
