Roger Dalton

Roger Dalton of Byspham Manor was the son of William Dalton & Jane Towneley in Lancashire England. He was born in 1531 and died in 1593 and is buried in Holbon, London, England.

During the long minority of the heir of Thurnham Hall (Robert II), Roger Daltons' name occurs frequently in business matters. In the year after Robert I's death, a grant of lands in Cockersand for 21 years was made to Roger. In 1581 he claimed turbary (the right of a tenant to dig on his overlord's land) in Preesall Moss and a messuage (use of a house, its lands and outbuildings) called Quatholme or Wheatholme, against Robert Carter. In 1582 a house called Friars Moss, near Quernmore Park, part of the Rigmaidens estate, was sold to him. He held burgages (right of rent) (in Lancaster). In virtue of a lease from Queen Elizabeth 1, he claimed the Furness land in Forton. In 1583 he purchased from Adams an estate in Pilling of 40 messuages, 500 acres of salt marsh, etc., which in 1586 was granted to feoffees (tenants) by "Anne Dalton, widow, Barnaby Kitchen, and Hugh Hesketh," and next year (I 587) the feoffees with Roger Dalton sold the greater part to Robert Bindloss.

And from the will of Anne Dalton (widow of Robert I of Thurnham), made April 9, 1593, we learn that Roger Dalton was already deceased and his heirs were bound to pay to her assigns E40, a year for 50 years after her death. She left this to be divided between her brother, Barnaby Kitchen and Elizabeth Hartley, whose husband was her executor. Barnaby was also to have "one pair of bed stocks"; a "cozen , John Thornton, 2 oxen", and her nieces Anne and Elizabth Kitchin, 40 shillings each

Roger Dalton acquired part of the Cockersand Abbey estate after the dissolution of the monasteries. In 1586 Anne Dalton granted this to feoffees. In 1587 the feoffees and Roger Dalton sold most of it to Robert Brindloss of Borwick. Roger Dalton died in Holbon, which is in the greater area of London and holding the Lower End of Pilling.
