In my notes connecting the Eaton families, I have information on the line which follows the Eytons of co. Flint. Again, not all information has been independantly verified, so please consider its value as a guide. I am working on a more extensive paper concerning this family and am hoping to have a more detailed analysis with quoted sources available soon. (Or it will become a college thesis, and maybe I'll back into a graduate degree.)
This family line eventually became Fairbairn-Wynne-Eyton of Leeswood or more commonly, Wynne. From Burke's Landed Gentry, "This family descended from Bleddyn Ap Cynfyn, Prince of North Wales and Powis in 1064." One of his descendants married Margaret daughter of John ap Ellis Eyton of Rhuabon, co. Denbigh; the name of Eyton being taken by him. One of John's great grandsons, Ellis, established the Eytons of Maes-y-Groes, Co. Flint. They were considered to be of the tribe of the Marches (I believe originally Roger Corbet's tenants or feofees), established by Tudor Trevor, Lord of Hereford and Whittington. Whittington, as you may know, became property of the FitzWarin family where it was said a de Eyton was in residence until sometime during 1400. This is part of the reason I have been diligently learning as much as possible about the FitzWarins, their marriages into the De Eyton line through a cadet line of Warin of Metz, William of Burwardsley and his descendants, indicated by R.W. Eyton in Vol II of "Antiquities," and trying to learn if there were any connections to our Robert de Eyton line in Wealdmoors. This family is also connected with the families of Yale and Lloyd who married into the Eaton line, e.g., Theophilus Eaton and Anne Lloyd Yale Eaton.
