~The Houghton Genealogy, p. 21
• Background Information. 827
A Richard de Hoghton is found attesting charters about 1230 [Whallcy Coucher, iii, 835, 836]. Adam de Hoghton occurs in 1242 and later [Lancs. Inq. and Extents, i, 151, 158, &c]. A little earlier Adam son of Adam de Hoghton made a grant of his moiety of Heaton in Lonsdale [ibid. i, 30], the date being known by the appearance of Simon de Thornton, sheriff (1234-41), among the witnesses. Perhaps therefore the former Adam was succeeded by a son Richard and he by a brother Adam.
