The arms of the family "were a shield of azure with a chevron of gold, charged with five stars of azure, two leaves of clover in gold in the upper corners of the shield, and in the point a crown of gold."

He had a gold chevron on his black cap, and the expression of his face told me in an instant that he was an officer and a man of refinement.

In Moor-street, there is another specimen of the same kind, about one hundred yards above the public office, which was executed in the year 1671, being arms, a chevron between three goats' heads, and a goat's head for a crest.

He was an officer, a large, bearded man, with a gold chevron in his cap, just the same as mine.
