• Background Information. 728
A claim by John son of John de Knoll in 1292 has been mentioned. He also claimed common of pasture against John son of Jordan de Mitton, giving his pedigree as son and heir of John, brother and heir of Richard (s.p.), son and heir of Richard de Knoll [Assize R. 408, m. 55 d].

As early as 1302, John de Knoll held of the Earl of Lincoln the eighth part of a knight's fee in Thornley and Wheatley [Lancs. Inq. and Extents, i, 319]. John shortly afterwards acquired two messuages, 2 oxgangs of land, &c, in Thornley, which had been granted by Thomas son of Hugh le Surreys to John son of Jordan de Mitton. The two messuages and 2 oxgangs of land seem to have been acquired by John de Knoll from John de Mitton and Alice his wife about 1308 [De Banco R. 171, m. 23 d]. In reply to the claim of John de Mitton in 1308-09, John de Knoll, here styled 'lord of Wheatley,' averred that the 2 oxgangs were in Wheatley, and not in Thornley [Assize R. 423, m. 1 d].
