THE HOUSE OF DUNLAP by The Reverend James Arthur MacClellan Hanna, A. B., B. D. Minister of the Oak Hill and Horeb Presbyterian Churches, Oak Hill, Ohio - With Illustrations - Copyright, 1956, by the Reverend James Arthur MacClellan Hanna Portions of this work may be reproduced upon request from the author First Impression Lithoprinted in U.S.A. EDWARDS BROTHERS, INC. Ann Arbor, Michigan Family: DUNLAP Arms: Azure, an eagle displayed with two heads argent, holding in the dexter paw a sceptre and in the sinister a rose proper within a bordure of the second, charged with cinquefoils and mullets alternately of the field. Interpretation: The arms or shield is blue (azure) and on this is an eagle with two heads and wings wide apart (displayed) and silver (argent) in its right (dexter) paw is a sceptre and in the left (sinister) is a rose and these items are to be in natural or prop- 1er tinctures and they are within a bordure of the second tincture mentioned (silver) and on this silver is a charge of cinquefoils and stars (mullets) arranged alternately and they are to be of the tincture of the main p~rt of the shield-the field. This is blue. (Authority; Burke's, "General Armory" London.) The eagle is the king of all heraldic fowl with a long symbolic ancestory of warfare and divine power. The double head is a symbol of power over the east and the west. Of course the sceptre represents ruling authority and the rose is for peace. A border was granted on which are five-leaved flowers (cinquefoils) and mullets (stars). Such items of design were frequent as indicating differencing (between families such as sons of the head family). When warranted tinctures were granted to the first one to receive the coat of arms according to the man's chara~teristics. For instance, silver represented sincerity and peace; blue was for loyalty and truth. The official record does not show a crest registered for this family. The very oldest heraldic designs did not have such registered. To the arms the knightly helmet and mantle or robe has been added. These are arranged like they were frequently seen in Days-Of-Old, when our knightly ancestor would hang his shield on a wall peg, then his helmet on the same peg over the shield and lastly he draped his battle torn cloak over the helmet with the ends falling down around the helmet. Our heraldic ancestors were very proud of their coats of arms for they were a mark of social distinction. Without such an honor a man, "Was no gentleman" and of course his wife was no lady as families were rated in those days. So, frame this coat of arms > well and hang it proudly as a document of family history. Compiled by, A. Vernon Coale ~ P. 0.
