 gS Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries. 6. Argent, a chevron ermine between 3 moors heads couped{?) Gilbert (?) (F. V.) J. ... a fess ermine bet. 3 annulets. Gilbert (F. W.) 8. Portman, as previously blazoned. Of No. 6 Mr. F. Were observes: "Armories do give the above as Gilbert, but if this is what is intended it is a very poor blazon, as the heads are in profile and decidedly wreathed ; also the marshalling is poor, as it ought to come before Trevett, instead of, apparently, being brought in by Trevett."

Mr. Were suggests that No. 3 is Sable a chevron between 3 mermaids argent, for Wybbery, not Gough, as given in Carew's Scroll of Arms, No. 62, with the same tinctures.
