DESIGN RATIONALE
Genealogical sources in Provo, Utah corroborate an ancestral relationship to
Henry Lumley, younger brother of Richard Lumley, later 1st Earl of
Scarborough, but no original documents have been identified to date. As
Henry and his first wife Elizabeth appeared in a family bible dating circa
1800, Henry’s family history has been a subject of study in this armiger's
family for generations. To create proper armorial bearings with current
genealogical evidence according to the law of arms, the shield is
differenced by, first, "a Fess engrailed" referencing the crossing of the
Atlantic by the armiger's ancestors, and second, "three Bezants" referencing
the establishment of the armiger's ancestors in Virginia during the reign
William III, of Orange, and Mary II. Several Lumley families use Popinjays
or Parrots in their arms and the tradition has been carried on in this
instance as well.
