Medieval Eyton/Eaton History Projected Many of us started out thinking that the first Eaton (Robert de Eyton of Shropshire) was descended from William FitzAlan, the powerful Sheriff of Shropshire and the brother of Walter FitzAlan, first high Steward (and head of the royal Stuart line), but -- in time -- have become suspicious of this formerly stated hypothesis. On the other hand, that the first Eaton may have been descended from the first Norman Shropshire Sheriff, Warin the Bald, and/or baron William Pantulf is a clearer possibility but still unproven by documentation other than the word of respected historians and genealogists.
