Musselwhite Coat-of-Arms.
The coat-of-arms of the Musselwhite family indicates that two families of equal rank were united. The Musselwhite shield is quartered: the first and fourth quarters representing the male, are composed of two black horizontal bands separated by a gold one and on the black bands are pearl-like circles. Black signifies constancy, gold great generosity and blue is the emblem of sincerity. The second and third quarters of this shield, representing the female’s paternal arms, are composed of two azure blue banks separated by a yellow band and on the blue bands are sheaves of golden wheat.. The knight in armor above the shield is an indication that our ancestor received the high honor of knighthood, and did not assume the coat-of-arms. A wolf rampant is clearly defined on the crest of the Musselwhite coat-of-arms, which evidences that both families used the same crest. The decorations around the shield is the mantling. The knights frequently went on long crusades and used mantling as a protection from the sun. The fanciful twists represent the cuts received in battles and these incisions in the mantling are marks of glory and helped to distinguish his bravery on the battlefields.
