There are no less then 4 different coat of arms for the Rutherford families in Scotland. Three have the same basic designs and same family motto " Nec Sorte Nec Facto ". The 3 are Rutherford, Rutherfurd and Rutherfoord, the last, Rutherfoord, has two coat of arms the second being for Lord Rutherfoord with the motto " Per Mare Per Terras ". It has in addition to the basic design the others have it has 2 stallions holding the sheild while a crown rest on the sheild, a knights armor floats above the crown while a mermaid sits on top in place of the chief martlet. The Irish Rutherford's have a coat of arms that is just slightly different and does indicate the Rutherford's who hold this coat of arms to be from Ireland. I was somewhat pressed for time and didn't perchase the book, but the book on family coats of arms can be found in Barnes and Nobles bookstore and some libraries may have them also. I would dare to say that in those early times that it wasn't abnormal for a new knight to create his own coat of arms once he has proven his worth before his peers even though it would be different, the design, from his direct family line. Many did chose to make just slight changes so that they would still be known as a member of that family. As for the spellings for Rutherford, its still only different due to the education, speech and hearing of people at the time and/or place.
