Enw'r crëwr

Hanes bywgraffyddol

The Picton family of Poyston came from Norman ancestors, who had settled in Pembrokeshire. Military tradition was strong in the family and three of Thomas and Cecil Picton's sons were Generals in the Army. Among these was General Sir Thomas Picton (1758-1815), who served as governor of Trinidad before being killed in action at Waterloo. General Sir Thomas Picton (1758-1815) purchased Iscoed (Old) and Iscoed (Modern) and two other farms from Sir John Bell William Mansel for £30,000 in 1804. The estate descended to Lucy Eleanor Picton who married James Brogden. Lucy inherited the estate in 1903, selling it in 1914 and 1917.
