This is Sheriff Sir Richard’s line. I’m pretty sure the Sir Richard that shows up as witness is the sheriff. The rest of this line doesn’t match.
1. Sir Almeric Pincerna le Boteler, Lord of Warrington, 6th Baron [~1216 - < 1235], wife Lady Alicia le Boteler, Baroness of Warrington.
2. Sheriff Sir Richard le Boteler [~1232 - 1281], wife Alice de Carleton.
3. William le Boteler, of Rawcliffe Hall [~1252 - ~1287], wife Johanna de Sifewast.
4. Sir Nicholas le Boteler, of Rawcliffe Hall [~1285 - ~1348], wife Mabel. No children. Goes to brother John. Corrected impossible birthdate of 1315.
5. John Boteler of Kirkland [~1286 - ?]. Corrected another impossible birthdate of ~1350, but then his sons can’t be born 1380.
Notes: So Sir Nicholas and John above don’t fit at all and there is no reason to choose William from that line either.
We have Nicholas son of William showing up with land at Longeton in 1331 and at Wrightington in 1336, literally next door to Heskin [2.2 miles]. William is a witness in 1347.
Nicholas continues to show up until 1368, which just happens to be the same year the Wem Barony dies out. These ocurances of William fit the 1st and 2nd Barons of Wem, while Nicholas an unknown younger son of William the 1st Baron.
In 1396 we see Sir John Botiller of Roucliff, who must be that line straightening itself out.
