    footnote 29:Evan Haughton purchased from Thomas Chaddock and Joan his wife their fourth part of the manor in 1566; Pal. of Lanc. Feet of F. bdle. 28, m. 99. Evan Haughton of Pennington died in 1608 holding a moiety of eight messuages, &c., in Carleton of the king by ½d. rent; Lancs. Inq. p.m. (Rec. Soc. Lancs, and Ches.), i, 125. His son and heir was the Richard named in the text, who with his wife enfeoffed Edward, James and William Stanley of the manor of Great Carleton, with lands there and in Warton, Lancaster, &c.; Pal. of Lanc.

  3.   She is not mentioned in her (alleged) father's will or (at least explicitly) in his funeral certificate, and her baptism does not appear in the parish register with her (alleged) siblings. She also does not appear with this family in the 1613 Visitation of Lancashire. Nevertheless, the possibility of Margaret's relationship with this family is suggested by the fact that she, with her husband, enfeoffed her (brothers?) Edward, James and William Stanley of the manor of Great Carleton.
