III. [Harl. MSS. 2079, 15; and Cheshire Domesday, p. 105. Grosvenor MSS. xxi 5.] This John de Arderne grants to Hugh de Venables, baron of Kinderton for 25 marks (Ao 1 Edw. II. 1307), the marriage of his son John with Alice, daughter of the said Hugh, on whom he settles the township of Alvanley for dower [Harl.
