The distinctions of arms to be borne by the several branches of the family of Dering, according to Sir Edward Dering, knight and baronet. The younger sons of the eldest house to give these differences instead of the crescent, mullet, martlet, etc.: The 2d son a bordure sable. The 3d son a bordure gules. The 4th son a bordure purflewe, argent and azure. The 5th son a bordure azure. Likewise the collar of the buck, their crest, was of the same colour as their bordure. Younger houses: The 2d house a chief sable. The 3d house a chief gules. The 4th house.... The 5th house a chief azure. Likewise the collar of the buck's head, the crest, the same colour as the chief. Younger sons of younger houses give the minute difference in the crest besides the great one in the arms: as Nichs. Dering, of Charing, gives a mullet on the buck's neck. _Note._ Nich{s}. Dering quarters both Lambert's arms and Home's, tho' descended but from one of them; whereas Finch Dering and his son, Brent Dering, leave out the Home's. Anthony Dering, son of Anthony by a second venter,[330] gives the fleur de liz upon the buck's neck. The wreath on which the crest stands is in all houses Or and sable.... [Illustration] Appendix B. A very curious illustration of some antient heraldric usages is furnished by an examination of the armorial bearings of families connected with the county of Cornwall. 1. The arms of the county of Cornwall are SABLE, FIFTEEN BEZANTS--5. 4. 3. 2 AND 1., with two lions as supporters, and the motto 'One and all.'[331] This coat is pretended to be derived from Cadoc, or Cradock, earl or duke of Cornwall in the fifth century. 2. The families of Moreton and De Dunstanville, successively earls of Cornwall after the Norman Conquest, bore personal arms totally different from these; yet on the marriage of Roger Valetorte with Joan, daughter of Reginald de Dunstanville, he surrounded his paternal arms (argent, three bendlets gules,) with a =bordure sable bezantee=. 3. Whalesborough of Cornwall, temp. Henry III, bore the same arms, with the =bordure sable bezantee=, whence he is presumed to have been a cadet of Valetorte.
