"About the year 1100 Baron RUDOLPH VON WALDRON won his coat of
arms fighting the Turks on the plains of Palestine, and in 1156 Richard, son of
Rudolph, won his coat of arms for valiant
services in the field under Henry II, who was the first Plantagenet who sat on the throne of England and united
the Norman and Saxon races" (Genealogy of Frederick H. Waldron, published
by the Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor Company in New Haven, CT, in 1909, p.
11).
"The illustration represents in part the Waldron coat of arms
belonging to the English branch of the family; it also includes a Dutch line, as
represented by the lower portion.
First, three bulls' heads caboched sa., armed or quartered afflete.
Crests: First, a heraldic tiger sa., pellettee;
second, granted by Charles I to Colonel Humphrey Waldron for
services during the civil wars, on the mural crown an heraldic tiger pellettee.
Motto—Nec beneficii nec injuria immemor.
The Dutch coat was given to Sir Rudolph Waldron, who was knighted
for bravery on the plains of Palestine in 1100. The falcon and the couched lion
belong to the Dutch coat.
Lord Waldron was mayor of London twelve or thirteen years" (Text and illustration from Genealogy of Frederick H. Waldron, preface).
From what I can tell from the magic of Google translator, the motto means: "Neither benefit nor harm forget."
This is an image found in the book, Resolved Waldron's Descendants, complied by James Henry Slipper, in 1910; it is the Crest of the Waldrons from the time of William the Conqueror.
