Relationships

Father: Sir Hugh de Dutton.

This relationship is given by Leycester (1:645). Ormerod/Helsby, in the notes, cite a proof of age for Hugh son of Hugh of Dutton dated 26 Edw. I, and also (1:661 n,) a fine in the Plea Rolls naming Hugh son of Hugh de Dutton from 35 Edw. I.

Mother: Joan de Saint Pierre.

This relationship is given by Leycester (1:645), stating he has no authority for it but an old pedigree. The 1580 Visitation of Cheshire (p. 88) gives Margaret, daughter to Sir Henry Risley. Leycester seems to give evidence, however, that the widow of Hugh was named Joan.

Spouse: Joan Holland.

This relationship is given by Leycester (1:646).
