Geoffrey de Dutton

"OF this parish there is no mention in the Domesday survey, taken in 1086, and it is probable that at that time it was principally waste land belonging to the Earl of Chester. It was subsequently granted to Geoffrey de Dutton, son of Hugh de Dutton of Dutton, whose descendants took the local name of Chedle." [1]

Geffrey de Dutton, son of Hugh, from whom the Duttons of Chedill in this county were propagated, who assumed the sir-name of Chedill, and continued to the Reign of Edward the Third, until Sir Roger of Chedill, (the last of that family) dying 1 Edw. 3, 1327, left his Inheritance to be shared by his two daughters and heirs, Clemence and Agnes; and out of that family de Chedill, branched Hamon Dutton under Edward the First, younger son to Sir Geffrey Dutton of Chedill, to whom his father gave Ashley, (13, Ed. 1, 1285) which he purchased for him. The posterity of this Hamon assumed to sir-name of Ashley from the place of their residence, as was the manner of the ages; which Family of Ashley's of Ashley continued to the end of Henry the Eighth; about which time Thomasin, daughter and heir of George Ashley of Ashley, Esquire, brought that Inheritance to Richard Brereton of Lea-Hall, not far from Middlewich, by marriage, who was a younger son of Sir William Brereton of Brereton in this county; in which name of Brer of Ashley it continued but four descents, and was divided among the three sisters of Thomas Brereton, and their heirs, Anno Domini 1661. ~The Duttons of Dutton, pg. 13-15
