I am related to Thomas Picton. The name has been carried down through the family and my fathers middle name is Picton. It has been the middle name of all first born males in the family but unfortunately my dad didn't use it for me. My dad has the actual horsemans battlesword (sabre? ) that belonged to Thomas Picton and that has been passed down through the family and will one day belong to me.
