Excerpt from The Maine Historical and Genealogical Recorder, 1888, Vol. 5Vaux, was an attendant of Richard I. In his crusading wars and appears prominently in Scott's tale of The Talisman.1 The name of still another Thomas appears on Magna Charta granted by King John in 1215. In 1290 Roger was warden of St. Julian's Hospital in Southhampshire. The claim of descent from these early families though traditional receives support from the general similarity of the Molton coats 01 arms with that of the Moultons given here.2 Whatever the original Moultons may have been, the lapse of five centuries which blended Norman, Saxon, Dane and Briton into a common nationality, made them Englishmen, and the family in the seventeenth century seem tolhave been composed largely of hus bandmen with a decided sprinkling of those who followed the sea. It is a fact, as Disraeli once told the House of Lords in caustic language, that the descendants of the old families are now to be found, with but few exceptions, among the commoners.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
