BROTHER OF JAMES SIR HARYNGTON WHO MARRIED ELLEN URSWICK

HARRINGTON OF HUYTON.

For a continuation of the stock we must now turn to the descendants of Nicholas, younger brother of the Sir James Haryngton who captured Earl Douglas at Hateley Field. This Nicholas married. Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas Lathom, lord of Huyton, and in her right became possessed of that manor; the issue of the marriage being, in addition to a daughter, who became the wife of Nicholas Eltonhead, of Eltonhead, a son John, who succeeded, and was father of Nicholas Haryngton. This Nicholas had two sons, Hamo, or Hamond Haryngton, who married, 3 Henry VII. (1487-8), Margaret, daughter of Ralph Eccleston, and is probably identical with the Hamnet Haryngton named in the will of John Ogle, of Prescot, May 5, 1525-who succeeded, but died childless, and Richard, who inherited the Huyton estates as next heir to his brother. He married, and was in turn succeeded by Percival, his son and heir, who, sometime after 16th Henry VIII., married his kinswoman Ann, only daughter of Henry Norris, of Speke, by his wife Clemence,mone of the daughters and co-heirs of Sir James Haryngton, of Wolfage, the issue being a son, John Haryngton, who had to wife Alice, daughter of Thomas Torbock, and by her was father of Percival, eldest son and heir, who married Ursula, daughter and co-heir of (Henry?) Twyford, of Kenwick, in Shropshire. The issue of the union was three sons and two daughters-John, who succeeded; William, who married at Huyton, in 1599, Anna Amonnde, and died April, 1608; Henry, who was buried at Huyton, December 29, 1611, his widow, Alicia, being buried there also, on the 26th October in the succeeding year; Mary; and Ann, who became the wife of Roger Breres, of Walton.
