Stone from Eglinton Castle indicating the Seton family connection.Seton's family seat, Eglinton Castle
He was born at the Clarendon Hotel, London. Seton may have been so named following his father being created Earl of Winton, a title previously held by the Seton family. His mother, Theresa Newcomen, born in Calcutta,[1] was an illegitimate daughter of Thomas Gleadowe-Newcomen, 2nd Viscount Newcomen.[2] Lady Theresa died in December 1853 and Seton's father remarried in 1858, his new wife being Lady Adela Caroline Harriet Capell (1828–1860), daughter of Arthur Capell, 6th Earl of Essex. Seton had two half-sisters through this marriage:
Lady Sybil Amelia Montgomerie (died 3 February 1932)
Seton had the rank of Lieutenant in the service of the Scots Fusilier Guards and married Nina Janet Bronwen Peers Williams, daughter of Lt.-Col. Thomas Peers Williams, on 11 June 1870.
Seton died in Windsor,[3] aged 37, from the effects of diabetes.[4] He would have inherited the title Earl of Eglinton if he had not died so young, and having only daughters who at the time were unable to inherit the property and title, his younger brother George (1848–1919) became the 15th Earl and George's son Archibald became the 16th Earl of Eglinton and Winton.
