Although I have seen two completely different family crests (or coats of arms) for the Dodds, I only recently ran across a crest for the Mitchums. The Dodd arms differ in that one is Welsh and the other is English. This Mitchum crest is Scottish. The Latin motto -- Favente Deo supero -- means "By God's favor I conquer."
There is an English crest as well. The design is quite similar, as you can see, but there are a couple of variants. The other one I saw had red hearts and a wavy bar, although this one has blue hearts over a straight bar. The motto (not shown in this illustration) is Animi Fortitudo, "Strength of Spirit." The name dates back to at least the time of William the Conqueror in 1066.
