Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: John Moher, who was naturalized in Indiana between 1845 and 1852; Patrick and Thomas Moher, who were naturalized in New Orleans between 1846 and 1856; David Moher, who arrived in Boston in 1849 as a bonded passenger, Joseph Moher, who was naturalized in Pennsylvania in 1857.
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.
