* In the hamlet of Heley dwelt a family, probably of Saxon origin, whose repre sentative, soon after the Norman conquest, assumed the surname De Heley, from his own place of residence. Dolphin de Heley lived about the middle of the twelfth century, and had three sons, Henry, Adam, and Andrew. John, the son of Henry, had two sons, Andrew and Adam, and died about 1272, 1 Edward I., seised of "his house at Heley," as by deed now at Heley. This John had three brothers, viz. Geffrey de Heley, junior; Robert de Heley; and Richard de Heley, who granted, in his life time, a third part of his lands in the rill of Heley to his brother John.— Original Deeds, and see Dugd, Jlfon. vol. i. pp. 86'0, 900.
Andrew de Heley, son of John, released to Margaret de Merlond, on the feast of the Invocation of the Holy Cross, in 1310, 3 Edward II., "his house at Heley, which formerly belonged to John his father." He married Avicia, daughter of Henry de Merlond by Margery his wife, and had one son, Thomas, whose sole child, Avicia de Heley, married Adam, son of Nicholas de Okeden, and in 1338 released to her son Alexander all her lands in the vill of Spotland, His descendant and coheiress, Alice de Okeden, married, before 1445, John Chadwick of Heley. — Lane MSS., vol. xiii. pp. 152-3.
