Hamon Mascy [died 1436 and Ellen]

Hamon married by 1400 Ellen, daughter and co-heir of William de Horton of Hartford, Cheshire. [As a result of this

marriage the Mascy arms became quartered with the squirrel sejant of the Hortons]. Hamon and Ellen had five sons

and four daughters. He added to his Rixton possessions by purchasing the lands of Richard le Smith.15 Hamon made

grants of land to his sons in 1436. He died on 20 June 1436 [writ diem clausit extremum 9 July] and was survived by

his widow.16 His inquisition post mortem was held publically at Warrington before Thomas de Lathum [the king’s

excheator] on the Wednesday before St Margaret the Virgin that year: it found that Hamon had held the manors of

Glazebrook and Rixton and that his son and heir William was 31.

Hamon’s heir William [1405–c.1447/8] married in 1415 Petronilla, daughter of Richard Warburton of ‛Burges’ in

Cogshall township [Great Budworth, Cheshire] and succeeded his father in 1436. In 1435/6 William confirmed

grants made by his father to [his brothers] Richard and George.

There were four other sons: Richard; Thomas [rector of Warrington from 1448 to 1464]; John; and George; and

four daughters: Elizabeth [married John Leycester in 1422]; Margaret [married Thomas, second son of Sir Thomas

Hesketh c.1431]; Matilda [the first wife of John Hyde of Norbury]; and Douce [married Harre, son and heir of

Nicholas of Atherton in 1430].
