William de Waleton · 1297 patent roll may be the same person as William de Walton · 1322 inquisition.
Documented
- In 1297 William is the son and heir who receives a third of Hale. The patent does not mention the serjeanty, Everton, or a son named Simon.
- In 1322 William de Walton held the serjeanty and left a son Simon aged 16 3/4. The inquisition does not call him son of Richard or tenant of Hale.
Compiled
None recorded.
Inferred
- The dates allow the 1297 heir to be the father of a child born about 1305. A possible chronology is not an identification.
Against
- One record is a third of Hale. The other is the serjeanty and a manor held for life. The difference in holdings does not by itself prove two Williams.
