The Verderevsky family is considered descendants of Murza Salohmir (Salhomir), who arrived in Ryazan in 1367 (1371, according to the genealogy of the Apraksins[2]) to the court of Duke Oleg.

He was granted with large landed estates, including Verderev, Venyov, Rostovets, Mikhailovo polye, and Besputsky stan.

[4] The descendants of Salohmir included such noble families as Kryukov, Shishkin, Porovaty, Duvanov, Koncheev, Rataev, Bazarov, counts Apraksin, and Khanykov.

[1] After October Revolution, most family members stayed in Russia, hiding their background, while some managed to escape overseas.

The Arms of the Verderevsky family wasn't included to the General Armorial and had never been authorized by the Russian Imperial Heraldry Department.

However, the Armorial of Anisim Kniazev, published in 1785, contains the illustration of the family's arms as found on the grave of lieutenant-general Nikolay Ivanovich Verderevsky who died in 1812.
