Comment (Additional info):

This coat bears a strong resemblance to that of the Preux family, "sa. semée of crosses crosslet or, three lioncels ramp. ar.;" and supports in some degree the tradition mentioned by Camden, of the origin of the Longs, from a younger son of the house of Preux, which was seated at Gidlcy Castle, co. Devon, soon after the Conquest, and of which was William Le Preux, M.P. for Wilton, co. Wilts, 2d Edward I. - Another crest was granted by Henry VIII. to Sir Henry Lono, of Wraxall and Draycot, for his gallantry at Thcroucnne, viz., a lion's head ar. in its mouth a hand erased gu.
