This is the Peck Coat of Arms that's on the wall in our home. "Probitatem Quam Divitias" translates as, "Honor Before Riches".

The heraldry below was copied from the Internet...

"The arms, which are here given in colors, are in the British Museum, with the pedigree certified to by the heralds. The quartering is with the early Pecks married. The first and fourth are the arms of Peck, the second of Brunning, and the third of Hesselden, and in heraldic language may be thus emblazoned or described: Peck- Argent, on a chevron engrailed, Gules, three Crosses formee, of the first. Brunning- Azure, two bars nebule, Argent. Hesselden—Gules, a cross potence, Or; on a chief, Azure; three round buckles of the second. Crest- A cubit arm erect, habited, Azure; cuff, Argent; hand proper, holding on one stalk, enfiled with a scroll; three roses, Gules: leaves, Vert. There are in the British Museum the arms of Peck, impaled with the arms of many families, into which they have married. There is no motto recorded with the early arms of the family. The one given, “Probitatem Quam divitias,” “probity (or truth and honesty) rather than riches” has been added. Some of the Pecks in England who use the arm and rose for a crest, I am told, have added or adopted for a motto, “Crux Christi salus mea,” or “the cross of Christ is my salvation.”

The "Five Sons of Luther". Left to right is Luther H., George, Jesse T., Andrew and William Peck. This photo of this band of loving brothers was taken in the pulpit of the Adams Avenue Church in Scranton, Pennsylvania in the year 1869. Someone had attempted to highlight their faces. Hopefully there's a published photo that doesn't have these markings on it.
