 England
The origins of the Dulmage surname date back to the time of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It comes from an early member of the family who was a person who habitually wore a knapsack or other type of pack carried on the back. The surname Dulmage is derived from the Old French word talemache, which means knapsack. Nickname surnames often referred to the bearer's favored style of clothing. Alternatively, this Norman name could have literally meant "totting of the bell." 1 Early Origins of the Dulmage familyThe surname Dulmage was first found in Suffolk where, according to Doctor Bosworth, they were amongst the first Angles that settled in Suffolk.

Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Dulmages to arrive in North America: Dulmage Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century- Mr. Philip Dulmage U.E. who settled in Augusta Township, Ontario c. 1784 4

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: Confido conquiesco
Motto Translation: I trust and am contented.
