Mytton.-The Myttons were a very ancient knightly family who are said to have derived their name from the village of Mitton, some four miles from Shrewsbury, and have ever taken a leading position in the counties of Stafford and Salop. Richard Mitton, the grandfather of that John Mytton who married Joan Middlemore, married Margaret, one of the two daughters of Sir Adam Peshall, knight, and his third wife Joyce Bote- tort. His first wife was daughter of Sir John de Weston, whose ancestor=. were the lords of that village. The church of Weston-under-Lizard contains many Mytton monuments. Many pedigrees of this family exist in print and MSS. Their arms are: Party per pale azure and gules a doubleheaded eagle or within a bordure engrailed of the last.
