    Besides the heir he had another son, Robert, who in 1440 was tenant of Altcar under the abbot of Merivale; Trans. Hist. Soc. xxxiv, 126. This son is sometimes identified with the Robert de Molyneux for whose ransom from the Turks an indulgence was offered in 1448; see Raines, Lancs. Chantries (Chet. Soc.), 110; Worc. Epis. Reg. Jo. Carpenter, fol. 58; also with the Robert who married the daughter and heir of Sir Baldwin Lestrange; see Cal. Inq. p.m. (Rec. Com.); and thirdly, with the Robert who was brother and heir of Adam Moleyns or Molyneux, bishop of Chichester from 1445 to 1450. For Sir Richard and Adam see the Dict. Nat. Biog. The bishop's arms are given by Dallaway as 'Azure a cross moline or.'
