Something I was told about the Maytons...
I was told from my grandfather,Robert E. Mayton, that our family is directly from France, and our name used to be maton. They left France during the french revolution ::or something like that:: seeking religious freedom. They then changed the spelling to Mayton, and eventually came to America.
that story has been passed along the generations... dunno if it helps anyone or not but.. interesting tidbit anyway. :)
