An armigerous family of Doctons lived in Hartland, Devon.They are mentioned in Vivian's 'Visitations of Devon' (which I have yet to consult).The grant of arms was given in 1459 to John Doketon of Kilkhampton.
My Cornish ancestress Honor Docton (bpt 1699) is apparently descended from this family.Could other Cornish families be too?
I should say that I have done no research on this line of my family but was sent the information.
