Hooton family of Cheshire and its pre-1300 origin

Legg inn av Gjest » 08 mar 2005 00:21:02

I am hoping contributors to this list can help me flesh out the outline of
this family. The first in the lineage that I can identify is Richard Walensis
of Tranmoll who appears in some undated charters located at John Rylands
Library. These items are apparently from the late 1200s, as most of the
charters there were dated starting in the 1290s.
RYCH/1642 shows that he had a daughter Iseude [by his wife Avicia] who he
granted land held of the abbot and convent of St Werburgh in Chester.
Richard also had a son named Adam Le Waleys de Hoton who appears in multiple
charters, but one in particular [RYCH/1634] lists him as Adam de Hoton, son
of Richard Walensis. Adam had a brother William who appears with the
following appellations: de Hoton', Le Waleys de tranmoll', Le Waleys de Hotona, and
de Waleton' de Tranemul. This William Le Waleys of Hooton was alive as late
as 1320. Another charter [RYCH/1287] shows a grant of lands in Shotwick and
Saughall (Cheshire) by Adam, called Le Waleys, of Hoton to Henry, son of his
brother William Le Waleys. Henry is described as Lord of Hoton in 1351, and
again in 1357. A quitclaim [RYCH/1404] shows William, son of Henry de
Hoton, acquiring a fishpond. A charter dated 27 Jan 1350 [RYCH/1782] shows this
William, described as son of Henry de Hoton, with his wife Katherine, daughter
of Henry Toront. This William was succeeded by his son William de Hoton,
who on 10 Jan 1376 made an agreement with William de Stanlegh the elder on the
marriage of their children, Margery de Hoton and William de Stanlegh
[RYCH/1673]. The 1580 Cheshire Visitation shows the mother of this Margery de Hoton
to be "Margrett d. & heire to John Leftwich of Leftwich."


With these sources the following lineage can de deduced:

1. Richard Walensis of Tranmoll [and wife Avicia]

2. William Le Waleys of Tranmoll and Hooton [alive 1320]

3. Henry de Hoton, Lord of Hooton [alive 1357]

4. William de Hoton, Lord of Hooton [listed in 1350 as husband of Katherine
Toront]

5. William de Hoton, Lord of Hooton [alive 1376; said to have married
Margaret Leftwich]

6. Margery de Hoton [alive 1406; married in 1376 to William de Stanlegh]

Can anyone confirm the Leftwich marriage or elaborate further on any of
these individuals?

Please forgive the abruptness of this message, but I have a monster cold
which I caught on my flight home from London on Tuesday.

You might want to check out Ormerod II:410-416. I think Ormerod makes
Margery de Hooton as daughter of Katharine de Torond of Mollington Torond.
Katharine died before 1383 and William married as his second wife Joan de
Minshull of Church Minshull, daughter of Henry de Minshull and Tibota de
Pulford, by whom he had a son. Joan de Minshull died 1387-88 and William de
Hooton died 1396-1397.

I have found a lot of errors in the Visitations of Cheshire and Lancashire,
so withhold opinion on the Leftwich connection.

Hope this helps.
