An idle google comes up with a link to this
http://www.archive.org/stream/visitationofcoun00stge/visitationofcoun00stge_djvu.txt
which is a terrible digitization of the Visitation of Somerset in 1623. If you search this text for ‘three escallops argent’ it appears that the first of the unidentifiable coats of arms might be that of John Ewens of Suddon, near Wincanton, who appears to have been granted arms in 1578. Quite what this small Somerset family might have got up to with bicephalous eagles, however, is beyond me.
