"Like the other possessions of Bigot, this township [Weever] became a component part of the fee of Aldford, and was held under the Ardernes, as lords of Aldford, by a family to which it gave its name; of whom the first that occurs is, Henry de Wever, a forester of Mondrem, who was fined five pounds by Reginald de Grey, justiciary of Chester, 55 Hen. III. 'pro mala custodia: ballivae suae, et destructione nemoris.'" [Harl. MSS. 2060. p. 76.]
(Ormerod says the Cheshire pedigrees of Weever are so unreliable, it is not safe to add anything from them to the descent of Weever which he gives, which is based on deeds and inquisitions.)
