  • Notes 
    • By his wife Agnes he had three surviving sons Richard (eight years older than Thomas), Thomas and Adam. Thomas died without heirs. Richard, his heir, was Sheriff of Lancashire in 1282, 1291 and 1300, m. Christiana and had a son Richard and daughters Johanna, and Margery. This son Richard died without children, but he was party to a quit-claim deed to the Abbey of Whalley in 1309, and the fee was remanded to his mother, his sisters and his cousin Richard son of Adam de Houghton, youngest son.

      Feet of Fines No. 82: "At Lancaster, on the Octave of St. Martin, 26 Henry III. [18th November, 1241]. Between Elyas, son of Syrith, and Augnes, daughter of Henry, plaintiffs, and Adam de Hocton, (fn. 24) tenant, of two-thirds of four oxgangs of land in Hocton [Hoghton], which Elyas and Agnes claimed to be the reasonable share which belonged to them, of the inheritance of Steymill de Hocton, their grandfather, whose heirs they were.

      "Elyas and Agnes quit-claimed all their right in the land to Adam. For this quit-claim he gave them two marks and a half of silver."

      Hoghton Manor: "The early connexion of this family with Hoghton is obscure. The earliest ancestor known is one Hamon or Hamlet le Boteler, to whom Warine Bussel gave two plough-lands in Heaton in Lonsdale and Elston, in free marriage with his daughter. Hamlet had two sons, Richard and William, and Richard's son Adam had some land or lordship in Hoghton, for in 1203 he was known as Adam de Hoghton. He did not hold directly of the Fittons, for it is clear from what follows that Hoghton was parted between two mesne lords, one surnamed Hoghton and the other Ollerton. Adam had successors of the same name, and in the latter part of the century a Sir Adam de Hoghton becomes prominent."

      son of Hamon le Boteler.
