Roger Swillington

Robert Swillington's 2nd wife was named Margaret Bellars.

In his will, no date given but proved July 22nd 1391, he lists:

Margaret his wife,

Margery Swyllington his daughter,

Richard Swyllington his son,

Rawlyn Swyllington his son,

Roger Swyllington his son,

Thomas Hopton his bastard,

Joan, wife of Roger Swyllington

Richard, evidently the oldest son by his first wife, finds no place in any pedigree.

Rawlyn, probably his brother, is perhaps the foundation for the the mysterious Reyner.

Margery is daughter of the second wife and married Sir John Grey.

Thomas Hopton was the natural son of Robert de Swyllington and is certainly the ultimate successor to the settled estates.

Richard and Rawlyn must have both died without issue.
