=== Life Sketch ===
William de Picton, a Norman Knight, having dispossessed and perhaps slain the original owner of the fortress, established his own family in the succession. After the lapse of several generations the line ended in two brothers —
1. Sir William Picton, and
2. Sir Philip Picton, who married Maud, daughter of William Dyer, of Newport, Pembrokeshire, and was ancestor of the Pictons of Poyston, in that county, of which family was the gallant Sir Thomas Picton.
The elder brother,
SIR William Picton, had a daughter and heiress, who married Sir John Wogan, of Weston, Knight, and brought him Picton Castle as her dowry.
