They didn't. There is no such thing as a family coat of arms - this is a modern scam developed by fake genealogy tradespeople who prey on ignorant and gullible customers. Just because your surname is Fitzwalter or Grosvenor (for example) you would have absolutely no claim to the Fitzwalter or Grosvenor coat of arms unless you are heir to the title and estate (and you would certainly be aware of that).
Heraldry has always been issued on an individual basis, mainly to knights when they win their spurs or are knighted for outstanding deeds. A knight would pass on that heraldry to his eldest son, but nobody else in his family (and nobodywith the same family name) is entitled to use that heraldry.
So a man might have a specific coat of arms and his brother might have an entirely different coat of arms. His wife, who might have entitlement to her own coat of arms, might combine her own and her husband's heraldry in a lozenge (not a shield).
Modern English knighthoods are generally awarded for outstanding service in business, sport or politics; these are generally not hereditary, so the new knight would have a coat of arms along with his title, but he can not then pass it on to his eldest son.
