Parthon de Von is a French and Belgian family with a documented ancestry dating back to 1575[8] and ennobled by King Leopold I.[9]

The family produced mayors, lawyers, judges, Members of Parliament, the surgeon of Louis XIV, an advisor of Louis XV, a military attaché of Louis XVIII, a president of canton, an inventor and two diplomats in France.[1] Also, a burgomaster in Belgium.

Origin

The Parthon family stems from the city of Châteauroux where it held land management offices between the 16th and 18th century.[1] In 1720, Michel Parthon became the first Lord of Von and was able to add "de Von" to his surname.[8] After the July Revolution that made Louis-Philippe come to power in France, Édouard Parthon de Von (1788–1877) moved to Belgium, disinclined to serve the new government as Vice-Consul of France.[10]

Castle of Von, historical Lordship and seat of the family in the 17th and 18th centuries.

In the castle of Middelheim he writes the Fables, edited in 1843 by the Polytechnic Library in Brussels. Achieved horticulturist, he helps Louis van Houtte collect orchids in Brazil for the Belgian King and the Royal Greenhouses. He received Belgian citizenship by royal decree (1844), a confirmation and concession of nobility with the hereditary title of Knight by letters patent (1845). De facto, the nobility title Écuyer (or Jonkheer) was also conceded to its male descendants, and the title Jonkvrouw to female descendants.[11]
