Sir Bernard Burke — The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales (London: Harrison, 1884), page 957 (leaf 1103) — the canonical SPURWAY entries: 'Spurway (Spurway and Oakford, co. Devon, temp. Henry III.). Ar. on a bend az. a spur-rowel or, betw. two garbs of the first. Crest — A garb or.' and the Dartmouth branch of the same family bearing the same arms (Visit. Devon, 1620). Two entries, one county, one coat. THE SURNAME IS THE PLACE: the family is named from the manor of Spurway in Oakford, Devon, and the coat CANTS on it — a spur-rowel for Spurway
