ARMS OF SOME OF THE FAMILIES ALLIED TO THE STOREYS.
  1. STOREY. Argent, a lion rampant, tail nowed and purpure. Crest: an escallop between two eagles' wings proper. The foregoing are from the "General Armoury."
  2. STORY, of Bingfield, Coun. Cavan, formerly of Hexham. Arms - per fesse, arg. and sa. A pale counterchanged between three storks proper. Crest: A Stork with a viper in its mouth. Motto - Fabula sed vera: A Story, but a true one. In the "British Herald," by Thomas Robson, Sunderland, vol. iii.. 1830. is this entry:-
