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. . .

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].
