• Descent VII.— Sir Roger de Pilkington, the eldest son of Sir Alexander, was born about 1255, and died in 1322.

• It is probable that he had been wounded, for he died shortly afterwards, and by May, 1323, his widow (the third wife) Margery had married Sir Adam de Swillington ; Margery and Sir Adam then jointly sued for, and succeeded in recovering the estates seized by the King.75
• Sir Roger's first wife, it is conjectured, was Amery one of the three daughters (Agnes, Alice, and Amery) of Sir Gilbert de Barton, lord of Barton ; the reason for this assumption is that Roger, who had two sons ('Roger' and William) by the first wife, became possessed after her death, in 1294-5, of one-sixth the manor of Barton, as shown by the Final Concords 76 — "by the courtesy of England," a man and his issue became entitled to the inheritance of his deceased wife in the event of there being children by the marriage.

• We will now give some details relating to the sons by the various marriages : —
• ' 1. Roger, a son by the first wife. His history will be Descent Vlll.
• ' Descent VIII. ---Sir Roger de Pilkington (born about 1291 ; died in 1343), the eldest son of Sir Roger, succeeded to the lordship
• http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofpilking00pilk#page/39/mode/1up
• 'of the manors of Pilkington, Cheetham, &c., in 1323 ; he was also the over-lord of Rivington manor.
• ' He died in 1343 — in which year his eldest son, being then under age, was fined for not undertaking Knighthood.95
• ' His wife was Alicia, the daughter of Henry de Bury, lord of Bury (her mother being Margery the daughter of Richard de Radcliffe, of Radcliffe), who became heiress to her brother Henry de Bury, junior. After the death of her mother and her brother, she inherited the manor and lordship of Bury by virtue of the settlement of 1313,96 and so enriched the Pilkingtons of this branch.

• ' About the year 1374 Alicia died intestate, and, according to the Treaty Rolls, her eldest son Sir Roger was appointed Administrator of her estate — the entry being as follows, " Rogerus filius Rogeri de " Pilkynton miles administrator bonorum et catellorum Aliciae de " Pilkynton alias dictus Rogerus filius Rogeri de Pilkynton. Teste Rege apud Westm'r., 6th December, 1374; per billam."97 It would appear that, prior to the latter date, Henry the brother of Roger had acted as administrator98 — perhaps without right — and on the 30th January, 1375, Roger proceeded against Henry, Robert, and Richard (who are styled his brothers) in a Plea for debt99 arising out of same.
• ' The issue by the marriage with Alicia de Bury comprised four sons and three daughters, viz. : —
• 1. Roger, of whom see Descent IX.
• 2. Robert, the second son, who was born in 1329, and the date of whose death was not earlier than 1399. . . .

• 3. Henry, the third son; described as "Henry son of Sir Roger" in a suit of 1356, regarding lands in Highfield, Farnworth, . . . . .
• 4. Richard, was the fourth son of Sir Roger. He became Rector of Prestwich in 1361 on the nomination of Richard de Radcliffe, and held the benefice until his death in 1400.114 . . . . .
• Sir Roger de Pilkington's three daughters were : —
• (1.) Jane, who became the wife of John del More, of Liverpool.116
• (2.) Margaret, who married Sir John son of Sir Thomas de Ardern117 of Elford, co. Staff., by whom there was issue an only daughter Matilda who became the wife of Thomas the third son of Sir John de Stanley, K.G., of Lathom. After the death of Sir John de Ardern in 1408 Margaret married Sir Robert Babthorp as his second wife, by whom she had no issue and died 1423.
