* The early pedigree of the Butlers of Warrington is obscure, and the authorities on which it rests are scanty. It is generally supposed that the Butlers of Warring ton and of Rawcliffe are connected, and descend from the great family of Butler, latinized into Pincerna, of Ireland, which the interlacing of their tenures renders highly probable; but the editor has not been able to meet with satisfactory evidence of the connecting links. The first of the family of whom we find authentic record in Lancashire was

I. Herveus, named in Testa de Nevil as father of Hervey Walter, and there stated

to have given to "Orm. fr. Magni cum filia sua Aliz. in maritag. iiij. caruc' terre in Routheclive et in Thistelton et in Grenhele." His son,

II. Herveus Walter, married Matilda daughter of Theobald de Valoniis, coheir

with her sister Bertha, the wife of Ranulph de Glanvill, justiciary of England, He was father of Theobald,

Hubert, who became archbishop of Canterbury a.d. 1193, and, according to Dugdale, of Walter, Roger, Hamo.*

* Warinus Bussel (ledit Hamoni pincermc in libero maritagio cum filia sua duas carucatas terrœ in Hoton et in Echellston. Kuerdcn says that William, son of Hamo, had Ethelston, and that Adam fil. Ric. ill. Hamonis had Hotton, and was ancestor of the Hoghtons of Hoghton Tower.

He did service in Ireland, A.D. 1169, and had lands there. He was suc ceeded by his son,
