~George Ormerod's The History of County Palatine and City of Chester, Vol. II, p. 848, Hugh Fitz Osberne, lord of Dodles, most probably identical with the Hugh of Domesday; living 1093.

• Hugh, living 1114-1116, held two carucates and two bovates in Newbold. Probably identical with the Hugh Fitz Osbern of Cheshire, a benefactor to St. Werbury soon after 1119. Probably identical also with the ancestor of Alan de Boydell to whom Earl Richard granted two carucates in Maydenwell where were attched to the man or of New bold. ~ The Baron's of Pulford, p. 80

Hugh Fitz Osbern And Osbern Fitz Tezzon. In 1086 the Earl of Chester had two Lincolnshire tenants of the names of Hugh and Osbeni: the former of whom held in Kettlesby and Ormesby, the latter, who must not be confounded with Osbernthe ' homo ' of William do Perci, in Staintune, Welle, and Neuberie (Stainton, Welle, and Newbolt). So again, in Cheshire, we find among the greater tenants of Hugh Lupus a Hugh Fitz Osbern and an Osbern Fitz Tezzon. The genealogists, following the lead of Sir Peter Leycester, have asserted that Hugh Fitz Osbern was the son of Osbern Fitz Tezzon, and have so jumbled up the heirs and descendants of both families that it is necessary to trace the property of both, in order to disentangle the lines. It is true that Hugh Fitz Osbern and Osbern Fitz Tezzon were close neighbours, that their names and the names of their descendants are found adjacent to each other as witnesses to charters, that the families which sprung from either used the same figure, a cross patonce, for an heraldic ensign, and it is therefore likely enough that they were near relatives. There is an indication which falls short of proof, that Osbern Fitz Tezzon was succeeded by a son Hugh Fitz Osbern, distinct from, and of rather later date than the Domesday tenant, and this is probably the explanation of the confusion into winch Sir Peter Leycester, who, no doubt, had access to early charters since destroyed, has fallen. ....

This states that Osberne de Tazzon's father was a Raul de Tasson, who was killed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and that subsequently lands were awarded to his son in Dodleston by William the Conqueror.
