 Scotland Ireland Early Origins of the Santin familyThe surname Santin was first found in Selkirk, where they held a family seat in their territories. An inquisition made at Selkirk, July 23, 1305, found "that William, formerly King of Scotland gave the sheriffdom of Selkirk to one Andrew de Synton to be held by answering to the King and his heirs for the issues, and being freed of the farm of the castle ward of Roxburgh and suit thereto, which he and his heirs were used to make for the barony of Synton". Four generations following the first Andrew are mentioned in the finding, the fourth, also named Andrew de Synton, while holding the sheriffdom, "was taken at the battle of Dunbar, and sent to the Castle of Fodringeye where he died in prison" (loc. cit).
