Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: John Shakley, who settled in Virginia in 1650; Adam and Jacob Shack, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1751; as well as Henry Shocklier, who was naturalized in Philadelphia in 1739..

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: antiquum obtinens
Motto Translation: Possessing our ancient honour.
