Career
Lord Tyrconnell became an officer for the British Crown. He volunteered in the summer of 1812 to serve as an officer under Alexander I of Russia. Lord Tyrconnell"s Arms appear to be of French or Norman heritage, "Paly of six, argent and gules, on a chevron azure, 3 cross crosslets or." Crest, on a wreath a globe in a frame all or.
Supporters, two horses, party-perfess, embattled argent and gules.
Motto: "Per Acuta Belli" (Through the Asperities of War). These arms descend from John Carpenter, the younger (abt 1372 – 1442) who was the noted Town Clerk of London during the reigns of King Henry V & King Henry VI. These Arms are often referred to as the Hereford Arms, named for the later ancestral home of the Carpenter Family in Hereford, England.
The Crest, supporters & motto apparently has changed several times over the centuries. Sir Noel Paton, upon painting the Family Arms, informed him that the supporters were originally a round-handled sword, which in drawing over time became shortened, until nothing but the cross and globe were left beneath lieutenant
There is no direct male to male Carpenter descent connecting Lord Carpenter and Sir William Boyd Carpenter.
The family connection is by marriage through the females in the family. NOTE: lieutenant has been stated that the Hereford Coat of Arms should not be confused with the Arms of Bishop Richard Carpenter (c1450s?-1503) presented in the "Visitations of the County of Oxford taken in 1566, 1574, and 1634, published in 1871, which describe the arms displayed in the buildings at the University in Oxford - "In the Lyberarye of Baliall College." - as recorded by the officials performing the visitations in those years. The Visitations describe the arms of Richard Carpenter (theologian) as: "Paly of nine Gu. and Arizona on a chevron Arg. surmounted by a mitre Or, three cross crosslets of—nine pales alternating red and blue, with a silver chevron bearing three gold cross-crosslets.
