PAGE 7. "Mr. Heskethe."] Richard Hesketh was a member of a Lancashire family not unknown either to history or heraldry. He was the second son of Robert Hesketh of Rufford Esq. and of Alice his wife, daughter of Sir Robert Booth of Dunham Massey Knt. and niece in half blood of Lawrence Booth, Archbishop of York and Lord Chancellor, whose birth was not obscure, and whose merits were various. See Campbell's Lives of Lord Chancellors, vol. i. p. 389. Baines states (vol. iii. p. 427) that the Hesketh pedigree has been 'evidently drawn up with great care," and yet implies that Richard Hesketh's mother was not Alice Booth, (p. 426,) an altogether unwarranted implication. Nor is this the only erroneous statement in the pedigree, Richard Hesketh being there recorded as the husband of Grace, daughter of John Towneley of Towneley, whereas he married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Cuthburt Clifton of Clifton Esq. by his wife Alice, daughter and coheiress of Sir John Lawrence of Ashton Hall near Lancaster Knt. Having no issue by Richard Hesketh, whom she survived, she married secondly Sir William Molyneux of Sefton Knt. (a widower,) and had issue by him one son, who inherited her manor of Clifton, and two daughters. Grace, daughter of John Towneley, was the wife of Sir Robert Hesketh, the nephew of Richard here named; whilst Thomas Hesketh, Richard's elder brother, married Grace, daughter of Sir Richard Towneley Knt. but had no child. — Harl. MS; Whitaker's Hist. of Whalley, p. 344 ; Maines, vol. iii. p. 428, Note; Lanc. MSS. vol. xii. Ped. Richard Hesketh belonged to a Lancastrian house, and being brought up to the law, was indebted for his promotion to the good offices of Margaret Countess of Richmond and Derby, the generous patroness of learned men. His influence in Lancashire was great, and his practice of the law profitable to himself, and it may be hoped not less so to

his clients, as his name frequently occurs in Lancashire evidences, in conjunction with Sir Anthony Fitzherbert, Lawyer Hawarden, and others. In 1506 he was engaged in the great suit respecting the will and subsequent proceedngs of the feoffees of Warden Huntington of Manchester College, (Not. Cestr. vol. ii. part i. p. 60,) and he was apponted an executor of the will of Thomas first Earl of Derby K.G. dated July 28th and proved November 9th 1504, being therein styled "a trusty servant" of that potent nobleman. His official connection with the Derby family also led to his appointment as an executor of the will of Thomas the second Earl, who died 23rd May 1521, along with his brothers Thomas Hesketh, of Rufford Esq., Hugh Hesketh, Bishop of Man, and others, who are called the Earl's "trusty friends," Cardinal Wolsey, the Lord Chancellor, and Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter, being amongst the supervisors of the will — Testamenta Vetusta, vol. ii. pp. 460, 590. Richard Hesketh was appointed Attorney General of the Duchy of Lancaster by Henry VIII. and died in the year 1520, 12 Henry VIII. — Lanc. MSS. vol. iii.
