| | Welton Coat of Arms, Family Crest |
 | | The name Welton was carried to England in the enormous movement of people that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. |
 | | First found in Northamptonshire where they were seated as Lords of the manor of Weldon, and are conjecturally descended from Robert de Bucy, a Norman Baron who acquired Weldon, an ancient Roman villa, from Olaf, from King William for his assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. |
 | | Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: William Weldon who settled in Virginia in 1619; another William Weldon who settled in Virginia in 1624; Ann Weldon settled in Fort Cumberland, Nova Scotia in 1774 with her children, Andrew, Elizabeth, Thomas, and Ann. |
