... However, to be fair to FamilySearcher2020, confusion about coats of arms has always been very widespread, in England as much as in the USA. ...
Indeed. Not helped by people who want to sell you a nice, expensive print of what you think is your family's coat of arms. The more reputable shops like that still want cash but if you look carefully, don't actually say anything about it being your arms or your families. Buyer beware...

I'm sorry but all of that King pedigree doesn't make sense when it reaches England and I can find no other records or sources of the people mentioned?

Where is this research from?

Looks to me like someone has tried to pry a link to Gentry and fabricated it all?
Richard Dudley of Cosby. Gent
George Bent of Cosby. Gent
William Black of Kilby. Gent
Bernard Cotton of Dadlington. Esq
Sir Thomas Halford of Wistow. Bart
Richard Swynfen of Sutton Cheney. Gent
John Cotes of Aylestone. Gent
John Freeston of East Norton. Gent
Sir John Bernard of Abington.
Edward Shuckburgh of Naseby. Esq
Richard Worsley of Deeping. Esq
Thomas Hobson of Glen. Gent
John Grant of Stretton Parva. Gent
John Miles of Heanley Hall. Gent
Thomas Dabridgecourt. Esq
Sir Clement Edmondes
