Death seen as December 09, 1619 Hertfordshire, England which seems like a mixup with a different Richard Denton.

Richard's parents may have been Richard Denton and Gennett Baynster, who were married in 1547 in Halifax. Richard was born in 1517 in Halifax, Yorkshire, England, and Gennett born 1527 in Halifax.

Richard was baptised at St John the Baptist, Halifax, on 17 September 1557, son of Richard Denton of Sowerby. Godparents were Richard Soyttell (Soothill?), Henry Harley, and the wife of James Foxcroft.[1]

Notes

Sir Richard DENTON b: 1565 Worley, Yorkshire, England d: Dec 9, 1619 Hartfordshire, England - m- 1582 Worley, Halifax, Yorkshire, England ( Other sources has them married in 1581 and Richard being born in 1557, They also have his Christening as Dec 17, 1557 Halifax, Yorkshire, England ) to Susan SIBELLA Denton, of Denton, Warnell, and Cardew

This ancient family was of Denton-hall, in Nether-Denton, soon after the conquest. The male line became extinct, in the elder branch, after five descents, by the death of Sir Richard Denton, whose heiress married Adam Copley; Richard Copley, grandson of Adam, had a daughter and heiress married to Adam del'Hall, who took the name of Denton, and had a grant from his fatherin-law of the arms of Denton, as borne by his maternal ancestor, Sir Richard Denton (fn. 2) . This Adam was ancestor of the Dentons of Warnellhall, who began to reside at that place (which they acquired in exchange for Denton) as early as the middle of the sixteenth century; the immediate male descendant of this branch is Mr. Charles Denton, of Cockermouth, nephew of John Denton, Esq., who sold Warnell-hall to Sir James Lowther, (afterwards Earl of Lonsdale) in 1774.

Arms of Denton of Denton and Warnell-hall, as granted by Richard Copley, and still borne by the family Arg. two bars, Gules, in chief three cinquefoils, Sable.

the second.
Crest: A martlet, Sable, as described in the heralds' visitations; but it is said in the MS. of John Denton, of Cardew, that they bore for their crest, a castle burning, with a flaming sword in a lion's paw on the top of it, granted by Edward Baliol to their ancestor, for his gallantry in defending a castle in Annandale, against Robert Bruce.

Research notes

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Denton-128

Looking for sources, could not find a marriage on 2 March 1581. There is a marriage for Richard Denton and Susan Denton on 2 March 1589/1590, so it seems likely a mistake in the year.[2] However, this is after the births of several of the children. It may have been a second marriage as there is a marriage of Richard Denton and Jane Harclaye on 21 October 1577[3] but there may have been more than one Richard as the baptism here is for Richard of Sowerby not Warley. There was a Richard Denton of Warley, whose wife Elizabeth was buried 15 April 1561, so not the same as Richard of Sowerby, whose son Samuel was baptised 3 August 1561. Richard junior and his siblings' baptisms all show Sowerby, except Janet who I could not find.
