Newton Clan History

The name Newton is of local origin, derived from the place of the same name, and essentially means "new town."

Huwe de Neutone and James de Neutone of the Edinburgh area signed the Ragman Rolls in 1296, pledging allegiance to England's Edward I. Alexander de Newtoun de eodem held an assize on the preambulation of the bounds of Gladmor in 1430.

All three of these men were named after the Midlothian parish of Newton.

As the parson of Bedrule in 1479, James de Newton almost certainly derived his name from the Newton lands in the parish of Bedrule.

A John de Newton was recorded in Glasgow in 1446, and a different John Neuton, a recorded 'Scotsman,' was granted safe conduct in England in 1463.

A word about Coats of Arms:

A coat of arms is granted to an individual under Scottish heraldic law (with the exception of civic or corporate arms). A 'family coat of arms' does not exist. With the exceptions noted above, the arms depicted below are personal arms. Only the person who has been granted these weapons has the right to use them.
