The arms are those of Moore with Coghill in pretence for Charles Moore (1712-1764), only son and heir of John Moore, 1st Baron Moor of Tullamore (1676?-1725). Succeeding to the title upon the death of his father he was further ennobled as Earl of Charleville in 1758. He was married in 1737 to Hester, only surviving daughter and heir of James Coghill, and died without issue.
