First found in Lincolnshire, where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Panton at the time of Norman Conquest of England by Duke William of Normandy in 1066 A.D. Conjecturally they are descended from Gilbert of Panton, a Norman noble who held the village from the Archbishop of York at the time of the taking of the Domesday Book survey in the year 1086 A.D. The village consisted of a Church and a few houses.

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: Firmius, et pugnan.
Motto Translation: More strongly into the fight.
