Notes:
I found this on the
House of Names website. I then did a search on Swyrich,
which said there was no COA available. I wasn't sure how they could
show the COA depicted here if they had no description of the COA available
to them (did they make it up?)

So I ordered a COA from the
Coat of Arms Store,
and received the same image as the House
of Names image. As far as I can tell, the "James P. Wolf
heraldry", "Coat of Arms Store" and probably a zillion others,
are all driven by Swyrich, which runs
House of Names.
I have found two other sources, neither of
which agrees with this version. The version from Halberts
is, of course, the most suspect (I am not doing my own version of the
Halberts COA, but it is available at the previous link). The version from Mike McDermont
is probably of equal value, if not more, than this one from Swyrich.

I received my COA from Family-Crests.com,
which essentially agrees with the House of Names version, so I'm calling
it quits until something else comes up during my wife's genealogy search
that links my Larner heritage with one of these or another as yet
undetermined. Of course, we may never get
back that far!
