to Robert son of Richard de Hesketh

land in Hesketh adjoining that held by

William son of William de Hesketh for

a rent of 2d.; Towneley MS. C8, 13,

The manor of HESKIN was originally

included in Eccleston, but seems to have

been regarded as separate after coming

into the possession of Sir Richard Molyneux. It

has no independent history ; for though one Robert

de Heskin in 1323 asserted that he and Randle de

Dacre were lords of Heskin, a separate hamlet in

Eccleston, his claim to lordship was rejected. The

Heskin family, though of long continuance, have

left little or no record.’ Thurstan Heskin, described

as of Wrightington, died in 1591, leaving a son and

heir Nicholas under age.'!' Nicholas Heskin, who

died in 1640, held lands in Heskin, Parbold and

Wrightington, to which his son Thurstan, aged

fourteen, was heir.”
