Its filiation goes back to Étienne Parthon, bourgeois of Châteauroux, born in 1575 and married in 1608 to Marguerite Bilhon[4] who were the parents of Etienne Parthon, born and baptized on May 28, 1610 in Châteauroux.[5][6]
In the 16th century, its members held offices in the judiciary and in the Waters and Forests of the Duchy of Châteauroux.[7]
Sulpice Étienne Parthon (1714-1793), counsel and king's lawyer of the bailiwick of Châteauroux[1] became in 1786 advocate general of the requests of the King’s Hotel in Paris.[8]
The family was naturalized Belgian and received in 1845 in Belgium a confirmation of nobility and an ennoblement as needed.[1] The surviving branch received the title of knight in 1845.[2]
