These armorial bearings are based on the arms of Frederick Henry McClurg and Timothy Michael McClurg. The ravens refer to a Scottish story in which a widow's sons by three different men performed archery to show prowess with weapons for Robert the Bruce while he was on the run from the English. The brother's names were Murdoch, McKie and McClurg. The brothers joined The Bruce's army until he became Robert I, King of Scotland.

The book with quill is a charge taken from her father's crest (Timothy Michael McClurg). The quill is Tenne because her favorite colour is orange.

Ms. McClurg was born in Tippacanoe County, IN to Mr. Timothy Michael and Rhonda Lynn (nee Johnson) McClurg. She's been a resident of Madison, WI for most of her life. Ms. McClurg is a qualified geriatric nursing assistant and holds a Bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.

The arms were designed with the gracious assistance of the IAAH. They are emblazoned by Ljubodrag Grujic.
