This is on the Geni for Sir Adam de Blackburn , Knight
1175–1206

Birth 1175 • BLACKBURN Lancashire England
M. Alice de Blackburne, b. Abt 1179, Cuerdon, Lancashire, England. Married Abt 1195 , Blackburn, Lancashire.
Children:
1. Henry de Blackburne b. 1196, Rishton, Lancashire.
2. Agnes de Blackburne b. 1202.
3.John de Blackburne b. Abt 1205, Blackburn.

So it seems clear that the first Rishton was Henry, son of Adam. Gilbert was his son.

No.
I spent a lot of time sorting this out.
Gilbert was the first holder of the title of Rishton.
Blackburn is extinct after him.
