The first Lord was presumably in Ireland when he signed the record of his arms, marriage, and issue in the Lords' Entries in the Office of Arms, 30 Mar. 1767, but Pari, was not then sitting. Their arms were, Ermine a griffin segreant per pale Or and Azure. Crest, a demi griffin segreant holding an escarbuncle Or. Supporters, Two griffins Azure beaked Argent, armed and langued Gules. Motto, y^rtes honorabili. {ex inform. G. D. Burtchaell). These arms and crest are the same as those of the family of Aungier, of which name Hanger is generally held to be a corruption, John Aungier, br. of the ist Lord Aungier of Longford, being said to have been ancestor of the Hangers.
