The Marton surname in historical dictionaries

MARTON. The name of many parishes, townships, manors, &c., in the northern counties, from the A-Sax. mere, a lake or pool, and tiin, an enclosure or homestead. I believe that the only family now bearing the name are the Martons of Capernwray, CO. Lancaster, who claim lineal descent from Paganus de Marton, the Norman lord of E. and W. Marton in Craven,soon after the Conquest.
