SETON (Family)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 703 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SETON (Family) . The Scottish family of
Seton
 , Seyton or Seatoun, claims descent from a Dougall
Seton
  who lived in the reign of Alexander I. Sir Richard Maitland of Lethington counted seven generations between this personage and Sir Christopher Seton (d. 1306), the first of the
house
  who emerges in history with any distinctness, but these links are not all supported by documentary evidence. The name was derived from the Anglo-Norman family of Say, the Anglo-Norman immigrant being supposed to have given the name of Sey-toun to the lands granted to him in
East
 
Lothian
 : The family honours include the earldoms of Wintoun (cr. 1600) and Dunfermline; of Eglinton through
marriage
  with the Montgomeries; and through alliance with a
Gordon
  heiress a Seton became the ancestor of the earls and marquesses of
Huntly
  and dukes of
Gordon
 . The Setons were connected by
marriage
  with the royal family of
Scotland
 , and also with the Dunbars, Lindsays, Hays and Maitlands.
