Map of England showing where the Huling arms are recorded
The Huling arms were recorded in England, c. 1620.
Arms such as these were typically recorded in York.
Yorkshire is the largest of the English counties, and it held more gentry families than any other. Land there was split among a great many households rather than a few, so a great many of them carried arms.
This is where the arms were entered in the register. Families often moved to other parts of the country, so the same name can turn up in more than one region.

How Arms Worked in England
English heraldry allowed arms to be shared by all legitimate descendants of the original owner. These symbols were treated as personal property that moved through the generations to all children. While the eldest son kept the original design, other family members could use the same shield without needing to change it or register their own unique versions.
Granting authority
The College of Arms in London has regulated the use of coats of arms throughout England and Wales since 1484.

Origin & History of the Huling Family in England
The Huling family name has deep roots that trace back to the early seventeenth century in the historic city of York, England. During this period, the family was established within the local community, living through a time of significant social and religious change in Northern England. As records from the early 1600s indicate, members of the family were active participants in the life of the city, likely working in the trades or agricultural sectors that defined the Yorkshire economy. Over the following decades, the name began to spread as family members sought new opportunities, eventually leading to their migration across the Atlantic to the American colonies. This transition marked the beginning of a new chapter for the family, as they moved from the ancient streets of York to help build settlements in the New World.
