The Seton Family Crest

The complete pedigree of this illustrious house shows that its common ancestor, Sir Christopher Seton, ""the Good,"" married the sister of King Robert Bruce, whom he had rescued in battle. From this cause he obtained the right of bearing on his shield the royal tressure of Scotland. The three crescents of the shield are there either to commemorate the participation of the Setons in the Crusades, or to indicate simply the form of the three original estates of the Setons, in East Lothian, Scotland. From Sir Christopher descended the Dukes of Gordon, the Earls of Winton, of Sutherland, of Eglinton, of Dumferline, the Viscounts of Kingston, the Baronets of Abercorn, etc., the Lairds of Touch, Cariston, etc., and, finally, but not least, the Lairds of Parbroath, the present head of whom is at the same time the chief of the American Setons, and resides in the state of New York. He is recognized as such by the Earl of Winton and Eglinton, actual head of the house of Seton, and descends in dir
