| The "Alstons," formerly of Newton, afterwards resided in Marlsford. One Samuel Alston was engaged in the militia in 1667 with the Dutch at Felixstowe. Thomas Alston, in 1690, devised to poor people of Assington, twenty-six shillings a year, to be distributed in sixpenny loaves of meslin. William Alston, Esq., had also a seat in Bildeston in 1734. The Alstons of Bildeston bore for arms a chevron between three goats' heads. |
