So I just rediscovered some screenshots I took from a book from a ancestor (a apothecary named John Hester from England). One of the images is of a horse with some possible Latin surrounding the crest which I can't translate (or transcribe given it's Middle English letters where V meant both u and v). The other image looks to be a coat of arms but I can't pick apart which flags were being used in it and some elements I can't put together what they mean (using a boar and siren on both sides, using the motto from another family, the Weirs). If anyone has more insight than me, I would greatly appreciate any help y'all may have.
