William de Hesketh, whose

parentage is unknown,® was

apparently a ‘land‘ess man,’

the possessions of the family

in Rufford, Great Harwood

and Tottleworth being ac-

quired from his wife, Maud

Fitton,‘ or by purchase. He

had two sons, the above-named

John, who succeeded, and

Adam.® The former, in 1323, made a settlement

of the manor of Rafford and two-thirds of the

manor of Harwood, the remainders being to his

children—William, Alice, Katherine and Margaret.°

He is described later as Sir John de Hesketh,’

and was succeeded by his son William, also a

knight.$
