Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

John Scotton owned property in Sharnford parish in the first decade of this century (N.), and John Scotten, perhaps the same person, had property in Ullesthorpe, in the parish of Claybrook, about a hundred years ago (M.). The name is still in the parish of Claybrook. The Scottons probably derive their name from a Lincolnshire parish, but there are Yorkshire townships thus called. De Scotton was the name of a Lincolnshire resident in the reign of Edward I. (H R.).
