| The arms are, gules, three fusils conjoined in fess argent, in a shield. The fusil, an elongated lozenge (derived from French fusée, a spindle full of yarn), may have been selected as their arms for a double reason--first, to show their occupation of woollen manufacturers; second, as a rebus on their original name of Diamond. This person's name is spelt Deyman in the old Parish Register. |
