Picton Pedigree Chart taken from the Bronwydd MS at the Carmarthen Record Office. The Bronwydd MS were compiled in about 1765 and in this case are copies of Welsh pedigrees in the Protheroe Collection at the College of Arms compiled by David Edwardes around 1685. Although there are few dates on this MS it is possible to assign dates to the individuals from contemporary documents which survive. This places Philip Picton to around 1260/1280 and the individuals at the bottom of the pedigree to around the second half of the seventeenth century.

Access Picton Family Branches

Below are known Picton families with origins in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. They are believed descendant from Philip de Picton born about 1260 and lived at Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Advenae Pembr. at the top of the pedigree was used by the heralds to show that the families were of non-native Welsh origin, and so had emigrated into Wales some time after the Norman conquest of 1066. Advenae is a difficult word to translate - but is approximately a "foreigner". Welsh pedigrees can therefore be divided into native Welsh pedigrees and those of advenae.
