[259.] Erving. (Anonymous.)
Plain armorial. Quartering, “Ar. an eagle displayed sa. within a border invected of the last.” The first and third quarters are the Irvine arms.
[260.] Eustace. Colonel John Skey Eustace, State of New York.
Armorial. Ribbon and Wreath. Motto, In hoc signo vinces. The arms are not correct, as one cross-crosslet is missing, and it is not certain that the crest which hangs in unusual style on a plate, from the festoon, belongs to this family. The crest is balanced by a plate on the other side of the shield, on which a letter E is engraved. The whole is contained within an elongated wreath. The name appears above the shield following the curve of the wreath, and at the bottom two additional lines in Latin serve as another motto, Ignotis errare locis, ignota videre, Flumina gaudebat: studio minuente laborem. A variant of the above,—the same copper altered,—gives this motto in place of In hoc signo vinces,—Sans Dieu rien. A Revolutionary officer whose bravery was recognized by Congress.
[261.] Evarts. Jeremiah Evarts.
A simple name-label with the motto under the name and a festoon of cloth above it. Motto, Nil sine magno vita labore dedit mortalibus. Father of the Senator.
