Notes
Extracted from "Genealogy of the Dutton family of Pennsylvania" compiled by Gilbert Cope, printed in 1871 (pp.17-19):
He purchased those lands in Dutton, which formerly belonged to Boydell of Dodleston; and so made the township of Dutton entirely his own. . . was made Seneshal, Governor, and Receiver of the Castle and Honour of Halton, in Cheshire. . . It seems that he was indicted, for that he and others came with armed power, (when King Edward the Third [RIN 4246*] was out of England) within the verge of the lodging of Lionell [RIN 4248] the King's son, Protector of England, and assaulted the mannor of Geaumes, nigh Reading in Wiltshire, and there slew. . . and committed rape. . . for which the King pardoned him. . . He was by several Commissions, employed for the apprehending of certain Malefactors,
Robbers and Disturbers of the Peace in this County. . . This Thomas was sheriff of Cheshire 30 & 33 Edw 3 [abt 1357 & 1360].
