Notes - Biography
Property
Hoghton Manor
"Sir Adam, who died about 1290, had several children, including sons Adam, Thomas, Geoffrey and Master Richard. Adam seems to have died soon after his father, and Master Richard, sheriff of the county in 1298, succeeded. In 1311 it was found that Richard de Hoghton held Gunolfsmoors and Whittle-le-Woods by the service of half a knight's fee, rendering 2s. for sake fee and doing suit to the court of Penwortham. A number of his charters are extant; by one he settled his manor of Hoghton upon his son Richard."
That Richard's heir was his cousin, Richard "who married Sibyl, the sister and heir of Sir Henry de Lea, and so acquired Lea and many other manors in this county and in Cheshire. The family was often called Hoghton of Lea, the chief manor-house having been there at one time."
"Roger son of Henry de Whalley in 1285 complained that Adam de Hoghton and Geoffrey son of Adam de Hoghton had disseised him of his free tenement in Roddlesworth, but it was held that the land claimed lay in Withnell and not in Roddlesworth."
"Henry son of Henry de Withnell granted to Sir Adam de Hoghton a third part of the waste in Withnell; Agnes the widow of Henry at the same time released her right to dower in the same. In 1291 a third part of Withnell was held by Adam de Hoghton and Adam son of Henry de Withnell."
"Richard son of Sir Adam de Hoghton in 1313 released to his son Richard all his right in the manors of Ollerton and Withnell.
