Relationships
Father: John de Heaton.
My assumption is that a 1332 fine concerning the manor of Heton under Horewich, mentioning John son of John de Heton and his sons, including Richard, shows this relationship.
Mother: a daughter and co-heir of Robert de Huyton of Billinge.
The relationship is discussed on John de Heaton's page.
Spouse: Isolda.
The Lancashire VCH (5:sub Heaton, n. 11) cites the De Banco roll (454, m. 141) as stating that Richard de Heaton and Isolda his wife held a fourth part of Billinge in 1374. I assume that the Isolda Heaton, sister of Alexander Standish, appearing in a 1440 petition belongs to a later generation.
Children:
