Subject: Sir John Pilkington's Descendants
Date: Sun, 03 Oct 1999 01:00:32 -0700


I'm seeking descendants of Sir John Pilkington of
Pilkington (par. of Prestwich with Oldham) and Cheetham,
co. Lancaster who was born say 1365. He was the son of
Sir Roger de Pilkington, also of Pilkington and Cheetham.
Sir John married in late 1383, to Margaret (or Margery) de
Verdun, widow of Hugh Bradshagh, of Westleigh (par. of
Leigh) and Blackrod, co. Lancaster, daughter and co-heiress
of Sir John de Verdun, of Brixworth, co. Northampton.
Sir John Pilkington died on 16 Feb. 1420/1. His widow
died in November 1436. They had the following children:

1. Sir John Pilkington, son and heir, b. ca. 1397. He
eventually died without issue leaving his brother, Edmund's
son, Thomas, as his heir.

2. Edmund Pilkington, esq., of Stagenhoe (par. of St.
Paul's Walden), co. Hertford. He married Elizabeth Booth,
daughter of Sir Thomas Booth. They have descendants.

3. Robert Pilkington.

4. Margaret Pilkington, married (lst) Before 1424, Nicholas
Griffin, by whom she had two sons, John (born ca. 1424,
liv. 1436), and Nicholas, born 5 June 1426. Nicholas
Griffin died 12 Oct. 1436. She was married (2nd) to
Thomas Savile. Margaret has descendants by her Griffin
marriage.

Please contact me if you descend from this Pilkington
family. Thanks!

All for now. Best always, Douglas Richardson
