It is a result of when they lived in the parish of Shirley found in the counties of Derbyshire, Surrey Hampshire and the West Midlands. Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Schur has undergone many spelling variations, including Shirley, Shurley, Sherley, Shirleigh and others. First found in Derbyshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest in 1066. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Schur research.

To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Schur were among those contributors: Schur Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Honor virtutis praemium Motto Translation: Honor is the reward of virtue.
