"This Richard de Weever, who was living and of Weever in 1360, was dead n 1378, leaving a son and heir Thomas, then under age, whose wardship and marriage were granted to Sir William de Carrington, Knt. On July 20, 1391, a few months before he came of age, an account was ordered to be taken "of all the lands and tenements which descended to Thomas, son and heir of Richard de Weever, on the behalf of his mother"; and the same was taken on August 18.
"Thomas de Weever, son of the above-named Richard, came of age in 1392 in February of which year his "proof of age" was taken, when it was returned that he had been born at Weever in January, 1371, and christened in the church of Over. He died some few years later, and his Inquisition post mortem taken at Chester in September, 1399, states that he died seised on the manor of Wevere, of 300 acres of land, 5 acres of meadow, 60 acres of pasture and 5 acres of wood in Over Alderlegh, held of the lord of Halton in capite, and also of 3 messuages, 100 acres of land, 10 acres of meadow, 20 acres of pasture, and 20 of wood in Nether Alderlegh, held of John de Arderne in capite by knight's service. He also died seised of messuages in Middlewich, Clyve, &c., and together with Isabella his wife, of lands, &c. called Woodlegh, in the vill of Bredbury, by the gift of Hugh de Wevere, and that Edward his son was his next heir, and apparently about 7 years of age."
