Lewis Weston Dillwyn

Lewis Weston (and others?) quartered the arms : 1 - Dillwyn, 2 : Or an eagle displayed Sable(?), 3 : Argent, a chevron Azure between three ravens Sable and on a canton Sable a pheon Argent (Traherne), 4 : Either Dillwyn (repeated), or Argent a lion rampant between three crescents Gules, overall a pale Azure. (Dillon). The use of the Dillon arms was erroneous, and, in any case, they should have a fess overall not a pale.
