    Pedigree from The Breretons of Cheshire
    Sir William de Brerton VIII, tenth Lord of Brereton succeeded his grandfather in 1426, died in 1485, married:
    ?Matilda, daughter of John Dutton of Dutton, widow of sir William Booth of Dunham, married in 1478,[5] and Sir William Brereton and Matilda had:
    1.William, died issueless, married Katherine, the daughter of Sir John Byron, of Horestan Castle, Derbyshire;[5]
    2.Andrew, succeeded his father as eleventh Lord of Brereton, 1495;[5]
    3.Robert;[5]
    4.Roger;[5]
    5.Henry;[5]
    6.Matthew;[5]
    ?a daughter of Sir Hugh Hulse of Elwood Hall, Cheshire,[5] and daughter Hulse and Sir William had:
    1.Sir John Brereton of Lea Hall, who married 1) the daughter of Maurice Berkeley of Beverstone, Gloucester, widow of John, Lord Stourton, and 2) John, the daughter and heiress of Sir Geoffrey Masey, of Hatton, widow of Sir William Stanley;[5]

    4.Jane, wife of Cotton of Rudware;[5]
    5.Eleanor, the wife of Hugh Cholmundeley;[5]
    6.Matilda, the wife of Thomas Needham of Shavington;[5]
    Discussion of the validity of Robert Brereton's pedigree: Brereton says Sir William married in 1478, Matilda, who had previously been married to Sir William Booth, then they had six children together, then Sir William married his second wife, daughter Hulse, then they had six children together, then he died in 1485.[5]
    This is not possible as:
    ?Sir William Booth of Dunham knight, son and heir of sir Robert, married Maud, the daughter of John Dutton of Dutton, esq, in 21 Henry VI, 1442, and they had 12 children, before Sir William died in 16 Edward IV, 1476,[6] An abstract of the Inq p m of William Bothe miles says he entailed land on himself and his wife Matilda, and his son and heir was George Bothe, esq, aged 32.[7]
    ?Matilda, late wife of sir William Brereton, and widow also of sir William Bothe, knight, survived Sir William Brereton, and had assignment of dower by settlement dated 13 June, 19 Edward IV (1479) from Sir William Brereton's property;[4]
    ?in 2 Richard III, 1484/5, William Brereton, esq, was found to be son and heir of Sir William Brereton, knight, and to the property that Matilda, his father's widow had held in dower;[4]
    ?On 10 June 3 Richard III, 1485, the escheator was ordered to deliver Matilda's dower from Sir William Brereton, knight, to William Brereton, esq, son and heir of sir William Brereton, knight, so William, Andrew's brother, was in his majority in 1485, therefore born before 1464.[4]
    Robert Brereton also alleges Andrew succeeded his father as eleventh Lord of Brereton, 1495.[5] There is no evidence for that:
    ?An Inquisition held 4 Henry VI (1 September 1425-31 August 1426) - Sir William Brereton of Brereton died seized, William Brereton, esq, son and heir, under age.[4]
    ?8 February 16 Henry VI, 1438/9, a pardon for William, son of William, son of sir William de Brereton, ... sir William Brereton died seized and the said William, son of William son of sir William Brereton, being then a minor.[4]
    ?23 Henry VI (started 1 September 1444), Ellen, wife of sir Gilbert Halsal, and widow of sir William Brereton, held lands in dower belonging to William, son of William, son of sir William Brereton, knight. On 8 April, enrollment of a mandate to deliver to William de Brereton, his lands in Brereton, which were held for life by Ellen, wife of sir Gilbert Halsall, widow of sir William Brereton, father of William, father of William Brereton last mentioned.[4]
    ?Inquisition post mortem 2 Richard III, Sir William Brereton, held lands on part of which, namely Droitwich, Cudington, Shocklach, and Caldcote, Matilda, late wife of the said sir William Brereton, and widow also of sir William Bothe, knight, had assignment of dower by settlement dated 13 June, 19 Edward IV, William Brereton, esq, son and heir.[4] 3 Richard III, 10 June, enrollment of a mandate to the escheator to deliver to William Brereton, esq, son and heir of sir William Brereton, knight as per Inq 2 Richard III.[4]
    ?The Inquisition of 22 Henry VII says Sir William Brereton, knt, father of William Brereton, esq, held property in Brereton and Malpas, etc, and William Brereton was his next of kin and heir.[8]

    2.Elizabeth who was married to John Smith of Oldlaugh.[1]
    Andrew's father, Sir William, was dead before 13 June, 19 Edward IV, because on that date Matilda, late wife of the said sir William Brereton, and widow also of sir William Bothe, knight, had assignment of dower by settlement of Sir William Brereton's lands in Droitwich, Cudington, Shocklach, and Caldcote.[4] An Inquisition post mortem held in 2 Richard III, 1484/5 found that William Brereton, esq, was the son and heir of Sir William Brereton, knight, and therefore to the properties Matilda had held in dower from his father.[2]

    ROBERT LEGH ESQUIRE was born 3 May 1410, Adlington, Cheshire, England, to Sir Robert Legh III, Sheriff of Cheshire, (1389-1415) and Matilda Belgrave (1386-1478.) He married(1) Isabell Savage; (2) *Isabell de Stanley about 1434 of Adlington, Cheshire, Eng

    The Leghs of Adlington were established by Robert de Leigh who inherited the lordship of the manor of Adlington from his mother Elena de Corona (n?e de Baguley). His father, John de Leigh, who was lord of the manor of Over Knutsford and seated at Norbury Booths, descended in the male line from the Venable family.

    Robert de Leigh, lieutenant to Sir Thomas de Ferrers "Lieutenant of the Prince's Bachelor", was a Riding-Forester of the Forest of Macclesfield, Bailiff of the Hundred of Macclesfield and a Justice in Eyre for Cheshire.

    Robert de Legh, the second in succession, was one of the Black Prince's Esquires. Sir Robert Legh the third in succession was knighted during the reign of Richard II. He was twice Sheriff of Cheshire. He fought at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 against Henry IV. Robert Legh the fourth in succession was preparing to take part in the Battle of Agincourt but died of pestilence ten days before the battle.

    Some years after the dissolution of the monasteries, Thomas Legh the tenth in succession acquired the rights to the manor of Prestbury, together with the advowson of the parish church and tithes. Leghs became patrons of the Living and Lay Rectors of Prestbury as they still are. Thomas Legh served as High Sheriff of Cheshire for 1588/89.

    Sir Urian Legh was knighted for military services by taking C?diz in 1596. He was appointed High Sheriff in 1613.

    Thomas Legh (1593? 1644), the twelfth in succession, was twice High Sheriff of Cheshire (1629 and 1642) and a Colonel in the Royalist Army during the Civil War. He lost Adlington Hall in December 1642 but regained it later. In February 1644 the house was again besieged. This time it had to be surrendered to the Parliamentarians in order to prevent severe damage. It was not returned to the family until 1656 after heavy fines had been paid.

    Thomas Legh (1614? 1687), the thirteenth in succession, was gazetted Colonel of Militia and appointed High Sheriff in 1662 in recognition of his services to the Stuarts. The next three in succession were also Colonels of Militia and High Sheriffs, John (the fifteenth) also serving as MP for Bodmin from 1715 to 1722. On the death of Charles Legh in 1781 the direct male line expired but the succession continued through Charles' niece Elizabeth Rowlls who assumed the surname of Legh by Royal Sign Manual.
