Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brereton-133

Sir William Brereton of Brereton was the son of Sir Ralph Brereton of Brereton, knight. William was the grandson of Sir William Brereton of Brereton, knight, and his wife Margery, the daughter of Randle de Thornton.[1] His mother is said by some pedigrees to have been Ada Huntingdon, the daughter of David earl of Huntingdon, relict of Henry Hastings.[1]

Sir William had one brother:[1]

Gilbert, who had two children:[1]

• Henry; and
• Sibilla, who was married to William, the son of Adam de Bouths, who had lands in Withenshaw.

Sir William Venables, knight, son and heir of Gilbert, after 1188 grants the wardship and marriage of William, son of Ralph Brereton to Richard de Sandbach.[2] [3]

William was married to the daughter of Richard de Sonbach, knight.[1] William and the daughter of Richard de Sonbach had two sons:[1]

1. Sir William Brereton of Brereton, knight, who married Roesia, the daughter of Ralph de Vernon; and
2. Hamo, rector of the church of Brereton 1344.

A writ was issued regarding Richard de Sanbache alias de Sondbach, on 13 April, 1 Edward II, 1308 after which an Inquisition was taken in Chester, which found that one of the properties Richard held was held of William de Brerton, and Richard's heir was his nephew, the son of Thomas de Sondbach[4]

Notes

From http://cybergata.com/roots/938.htm

• William Bereton was a witness to four deed on file in Chester, during the year of 1250. (696).
• Sir William Brereton, Knight, son and heir of Sanbach, in fulfilment of a contract made with William de Venables. (696)

From The Phillips, Weber, Kirk, & Staggs families of the Pacific Northwest

Sir William Brereton of Brereton, ward of Sir Richard Sonbach (Sandbach), who had grant of the wardship of said William from William de Venables, Baron of Kinderton, to marry him or his younger brother, Gilbert Brereton, if William died under age, to one of the legitimate daughters of Richard Sandbach. Such were the precious servitudes of our ancestors; and great must have been the docility and tractability of the adults (and it is a remarkable trait in feudal manners) in submitting their inclinations in the serious article of marriage to the inscrutable wisdom of their seniors. Accordingly we find the heir of Brereton, William, was (nolens volens) married to the daughter of Richard Sandbach. The manor of Sandbach is given in Domesday among the possessions of the Bigot-Bigod family, whose manors subsequently formed the fee of Aldford, of which Sandbach was a dependency. A family was certainly settled here in the reign of King John, who held Sandbach from Aldford fee, and had assumed the local name. Near the manor house of Sandbach is the market place containing the Crosses of Sandbach, which may indisputably be ranked among the finest monuments of antiquity, of the kind, now existing in the kingdom. They are supposed to have been erected shortly after the introduction of Christianity on the places where it was first preached. The present height of the Greater Cross is 16 ft. 8 in.

  ---

Son of Ralph de Brereton and Ada de Huntingdon. Brother of Gilbert and Sybil. Half brother of Henry de Huntingdon. George Ormerod shows that Sir Ralph Brereton, husband of Ada of Huntingdon, had two sons, William, and Gilbert. He further shows that the son, William, was a ward of Sir R. Sondbach, which suggests that William was a minor at his father's death. If so, it should be relatively easy to find out when William was born and whether or not he might have been a son of Ada of Huntingdon.

Sir William Brereton, Kt., son and heir of Ralph, married a daughter of Sir Rich- ard de Sandbach, in fulfillment of a con- tract made with William de Venables. (He was the ward of Sir Richard Sandbach).

The following seems incorrect, and may apply to another William Brereton. KINSHIP: Son and heir.

PROPERTY: Lord of Brereton. (Lloyd, History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, vol. 3 p. 92) PROPERTY: He by deed without date receives from Randle de Torhaunt in frank marriage with Margery his daughter, all the rents held by Thomas de Wariul held in Middlewich. LIVING: comtempory of John and Henry III.
