Harris coat of arms

[KGarrad]

The authors, John Layer and William Cole, recorded this c1632 and between 1742 and 1782.
They would have been educated men, almost certainly University educated.
As such, they would have been familiar with Heraldic language?
And the fact that they described the errant charges as "pears" seems to me to be the clincher.

Do you know who Richard Harris married?
Maybe we can find an arms for her father.

Robert married twice and I have yet to find definite proof of either marriage

Best guesses and reasons so far are

Marriage to Susannah Ireland based on date and location 27 Feb 1692/93 St Andrews Holborn
Marriage 01 Aug 1710 at St Alphage London Wall to Elizabeth Woodhouse based on them both being of St Andrews Holborn

Robert left money to the poor of St A's Holborn and the 4 children of his first marriage were baptised there.

I am trying to see if any pre-renovation paperwork or pictures exists and also talking to the College of Arms to find out if they have the original description, etc.
