Geoffrey Pyton document from the year 1326
Please let me know if you find additional information about the Picton's of ancient times.
I tried to do some research of ancient Picton records. I went to the Pembrokeshire Records Office library which is part of the building complex at the castle in Haverfordwest. The people at this library were very helpful, kind and did everything possible to assist me in my search. They do not allow one to have ball point pens in the library but you can use a pencil. I went to an index and selected an old document with a Picton like name on it to see what I would get. It turned out to be a grant of a burgage in Haverford to a Geoffrey Pyton in 1326. They went back in a room and brought out this old document . It was made of leather (I think sheep skin), it had a couple small leather straps attached and at the end of the straps was an attached wax seal. I could not read a word, it was in Latin, but they did have a small translation. I assume all ancient documents are like this. They were very protective of the document and would not allow it to be placed on a copy machine. They did allow me to take a picture which appears at the top of this page.
It is always a surprise what one founds on the internet. Consider doing your own research. Below are three internet sources provided by Brian Picton Swann to search along with the results found. I am sure there are other types of searches one can do. If you find anything, please let me know.

Below is my attempt to find the earliest records of people with the name Picton. I searched the Schedule of Haverfordwest Records, PRO records (by internet) and the Picton Castle records at the National Library of Wales (by internet) for the very earliest documents for people with the last name of Picton and they were in Pembrokeshire. Notice the different ways the name Picton is spelled. There are different spellings such as Pyketon, Pyketun, Pyketune, Piketon, Piketun, Piketune, Pykton, Pyktun, Pycton, Pyton and findly Picton. I arranged by date these Picton documents within a specific source. It appears to me how often times one can estimate the time when someone was born, reached adult hood, was married, where living and death date. Notice as an example how William Picton had many different spellings of his name but you can see they are all for the same person. The following is not a complete list.

With a copy of a deed dated 23 May 1713 between John Picton of Poyston, gent., on the first part and George Lorte

LETTER from J[ohn] Phillips, Picton Castle, th his sister Mrs. Katherine Philipps to be left at Mrs. Hendys in West Gate Street, Bath.
Joins the recipient and his brothers in giving hearty thanks to God for her ladyship's and the recipient's recovery. Wishes letters could be received with greater dispatch. Oftener refreshed with good news from Papa. He told 'us' that 'our' grandmother had sent him a small box with presents for 'us'. Have lately been to see the 7 acres of fine wood that was bought by the partners of Mr. Picton at £40 an acre for the use of Cart-makers- pool coalpits which the colliers say is the beat they ever saw for that use, an acre and a half of which has been cut and is now carrying to the works where 'we' were yesterday and found a pretty deal of ware there both of the old pit and the new which has been so long asinking and is thought will give encouragement for making the quay more convenient for ships to come to. The leads and roof of the Castle have been mended and the court yard levelled with sea gravel and walls built. Madamoiselle gives her duty to mama and her service to recipient. Mr. Lord is sent for to paint the stair-case to mama's room and they are going about to make a door from the other into the Round Chamber according to her Ladyship's order. Sister Mary and brothers are in good health. Mr. Eliot and the agents of Kilgetty and Llanimdovery have had orders to send their rents and rent rolls to her Ladyship and they will be sure to do it forthwith but it is feared they will be finder great difficulties as Mr. Beavan was last to find means to transmit money to Bristol. Makes a note of the rents received by Thomas Lewis of Kilgetty.

Manorial Documents Register
Some ideas of Brian Picton Swann:
It has been said that Whitechurch (Eglwyswen) was part of the Lordship of Kemes. This should mean that there is lots of unresearched Picton material in the Court Rolls and associated documents of the Lordship/Barony of Kemes. In England, when any Manorial tenant died, his heirs had to come to the Court and prove that they had the right to succeed to his lands. The records, therefore can give a very good guide to when someone died, and who his heir was. There are Courts Baron, Courts Leet, Rentals and Surveys, etc.
This is all viewable over the Internet for the Lordship of Kemes from the Manorial Documents Register. Very few Counties are available online - but Wales is in its entirety! Below is the link so you can see what survives for Kemes (Cemais).
http://www.hmc.gov.uk/mdr/searchMDR.htm
Get to Wales - use drop down menu to select Pembrokeshire - select "Lordship" - drop down menu for Kemes - and if you do not put in any dates you get 293 hits. Type in dates and the list becomes manageable. Absolute mass of material. Most (but not all) in the Bronwydd MSS collection.
Gascon Rolls and Agincourt Troops
by
Brian Swann
What I did extract from Prof. Ann Curry’s talk was the importance of understanding the political tensions between the English crown and the French crown over land/territorial disputes, linked to revenue streams, both in the Normandy area, but of course down into middle France and ultimately to Gascony, depending on the time and date. Linked initially to the marriage of Henry II to Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1152, but the Normandy aspects going back the conquest of course, then the war of 1100-1102 over the right of succession of King Henry I vs Robert Curthose.
King John lost most of Normandy by the end of his reign, hence Lackland, much regained by King Henry II.
The lists of the troops at Agincourt survive as they had to be paid, and the Exchequer wanted proof these soldiers actually existed, etc.
On a personal level, there are 6 Picton soldiers in this database, and you are bound to wonder what they were doing in these places and why.
Agincourt Troops with last name Picton from the year about 1374 to 1434
There is also a personal story of interest to me (Brian Swann) in this Database of a John Fort, Esq., of Llanstephan:
https://www.medievalsoldier.org/about/soldier-profiles/john-fort-esquire-of-llanstephan/
The Fort family of Llanstephan in Carmarthenshire had ties into the Picton family. The Fort family are detailed in a surviving cartulary compiled in the fifteenth century edited by Ralph Griffiths, ‘The Cartulary and Muniments of the Fort Family of Llanstephan’ B.B.C.S (1971), pp. 311- 384. Much of the detail of the domestic affairs of the Fort family that follows is drawn from this work. Further details of his administrative career can be found in R. A. Griffiths, The Principality of Wales in the Later Middle Ages: The Structure of Personnel and Government: I South Wales 1277-1536 (Cardiff, 1972), pp. 320-1.
This Fort Cartulary only survives in the Calendar of Ancient Deeds at the National Archives (Class E 210) by the sequestration of all the estates of Sir John Perrot in 1592. He was Lord Deputy of Ireland for Queen Elizabeth, 1584-1588, and did much else besides.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Perrot
He was accused of criticizing Queen Elizabeth thus:
“God’s wounds, this it is to serve a base (*?%$#) kitchen woman, if I had served any prince in Christendom I have not been so dealt withal.”
Probably not a good survival strategy with Queen Elizabeth, even if you did believe you were a bastard son of King Henry VIII.
Further evidence showed he had disparaged her legitimacy on several occasions. Perrot protested his loyalty and, in reaction to a hectoring prosecution counsel, eloquently cried out, "You win men's lives away with words". But his defence descended into blustering, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sentencing was put off for some months in the hope of a royal pardon, but Perrot died in the Tower in September 1592. Whether Elizabeth actually intended to pardon him is uncertain, although there are grounds to believe he was poisoned in anticipation of his release from custody.
His g-g-grandfather, a Thomas Perrot, had married an Alice Picton in about 1422, and her mother was a Margaret Fort. That is how all these documents came to survive.
Even though England finally lost Gascony in 1453 by the Battle of Castillon, the Gascon Rolls continue until 1468, so there was clearly a residual hope England might still win them back. Henry VI of England lost his mental capacity in late 1453, which led to the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses in England. Some have speculated that learning of the defeat at Castillon led to Henry’s mental collapse. No good having weak Kings on the throne at crucial moments.
------
What struck me forcibly was that there is a huge collection of Welsh material in the records of the Court of the Great Sessions (not in Welsh, but in Latin to 1733) 1542 to 1830, that is unlikely to see the light of day any time soon. I think this material was transferred from the Public Record Office to the National Library of Wales around 1963 – probably better in some ways if it had remained at Kew.

There could be some interesting discussions about records digitization at RootsTech over here. These two companies are very active, and the results of those activities are certainly not online at Ancestry or FamilySearch.
