TATTON, CALLED EGERTON OF TATTON, BARON EGERTON OF TATTON 1859.
[Illustration] Robert Tatton of Kenworthy, in Northenden, who
married the heiress of William de Withenshaw, alias Massey, about
the latter end of the reign of Edward III., is the first _proved_
ancestor of this family, but there is reason to believe that he was
descended from the much more ancient house of the name who were
seated at Tatton in the twelfth century. Withenshaw, now the seat of
the younger branch of this family, remained from the period above
mentioned the inheritance and residence of the Tattons, until
the decease of Samuel Egerton, Esq. in 1780, when the estate of
Tatton, which is supposed to have given name to the family, devolved
by his will on William Tatton of Withenshaw, Esq., who had married
Hester, sister of Mr. Egerton. Tatton had passed to the Egertons
through the families of Tatton, Massey, Stanley, and Brereton.
Younger branch, Tatton of Withenshaw, in this county. See Ormerod,
iii. 315, and Gentleman's Magazine 1798, 930.
ARMS.--_Quarterly argent and gules, four crescents counterchanged_.
The arms are perhaps founded on the coat of Massey.
Present Representative, William Tatton Egerton, Baron Egerton of
Tatton.
BUNBURY OF STANNEY, BARONET 1681.
[Illustration] A family of great antiquity, descended from Henry de
Boneberi, in the time of Stephen, a younger brother of the House of
St. Pierre in Normandy. William de Boneberi, son of Henry, was Lord
of Boneberi in the reign of Richard I. But the direct ancestor was
David brother of Henry, whose great-grandson Alexander de Bunbury
was living in the fifteenth of Henry III. Stanney, still the
inheritance, but not the residence, of the Bunburys, came from the
heiress of the same name in the seventeenth of Edward III.
See Ormerod, ii. 216, and Wotton's Baronetage, iii. 687.
ARMS.--_Argent, on a bend sable three chessrooks of the field_.
Present Representative, Sir Charles James Fox Bunbury, 8th
Baronet.
LEYCESTER OF TOFT.
[Illustration] Descended from Sir Nicholas Leycester, who acquired
the manor of Nether-Tabley in marriage, and died in 1295. The male
line of the eldest branch of this family, established at
Nether-Tabley, became extinct in 1742. The present and younger
branch springs from Ralph, younger brother of John Leycester of
Tabley, who married Joan, daughter and heir of Robert Toft of Toft:
she was a widow in 1390. The antiquary Sir Peter was of the Tabley
line.
Younger branch, Leycester of Whiteplace, co. Berks.
See Ormerod, i. 385, 456; iii. 190.
