    "...and that Edward his son was his next heir, and apparently about 7 years of age [in September 1399]. This Edward came of age in 1413, in which year on June 20 he had livery of his estates, and in April, 1422, is described as a knight and as "about to go to France in the retinue of Katherine, Queen of England." Sir Edward de Weever, Knt., died in Sept. 1434, his Inquisition post mortem in the Record Office being very much torn and damaged, but it is found copied on the Cheshire Recognizance Rolls. It states that he died seised of the same lands as his father, the manor of Weever, the lands, &c., in Over Alderley, "held of Henry, Archbishop of Canterbury, as of his manor of Halton," lands in Nether Alderley, Woodley and Upton [near Macclesfield], the latter held of Robert de Downes in socage, and that Thomas, his son and heir, was then 24 years of age."
