As regards the Esquire, however, this nation is a Republic, so no one here legitimately has a personal coat of arms. Thus there can be no such implication.
Your second statement is incorrect; there are many American citizens who are armigers. The majority of them have received a grant of arms via a foreign heraldic body, such as the Lyon Court, the College of Arms (England), etc. Their arms are very much legimate and they have the patents to prove it.
