Where did the English Malton family come from? What is the English Malton family crest and coat of arms? When did the Malton family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Malton family history? Malton is a name whose history on English soil dates back to the wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of England of 1066. The Malton family lived in Devon. The name, however, is a reference to the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Meules in Calvados, in the arrondisement of Lisieux in the canton of Orbec, Normandy.Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Moulson, Moulton, Molson, Molton and others. First found in Devon where they held a family seat from early times after the Norman Conquest by Duke William in 1066 A.D. They were under tenants of Baldwin FitzGilbert, Sheriff of Devon. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Malton research.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Malton or a variant listed above were: Thomas Moulston, who arrived in Virginia in 1623; Thomas Moulton, who settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1630 with his wife Jane; John Moulton, who settled in New England in 1637 with his wife and five children. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Regi fidelis Motto Translation: Faithful to the king.
The Malton Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Malton Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:52. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
