  BIOGRAPHY
  
  Roger de Toft was conducting business in 1230, therefore in his majority and born in or before 1209.
  
  Roger's father assumed the surname of Toft because he resided there, so Roger was probably born in Toft. Toft, Knutsford Parish, was in Bucklow Hundred, Cheshire, England.
  
  Roger was the son of Walter de Toft who lived during the reigns of Richard I [king of England from 1189-99], and John [king of England from 1199-1216], and was living in 1284.
  
  Roger was the father of:
  
  1.) Roger de Toft, called himself Lord of Toft in 1298, married Beatrix, daughter of Hugh Venables of Kinderton, at the beginning of the reign of Edward the first [king of England from 1272];
  
  2.) William de Toft, younger son, married in 5 Edward I [1277/8], Joan Lostock, sister of Richard de Lostock-Gralam the younger, son of Richard de Lostock, from whom the Holfords of Holford descend;
  
  3.) Margaret, who was married to William Manwaring son of Roger Manwaring in 1 Edward I , 1272;
  
  Roger de Tofte was a witness to an undated deed in which Sir Robert de Mascy granted a third of his mill of Axele super Bolin, Cheshire, to Roger Carpentarius de Hale; the other named witnesses were William de Masci parson of Bthedut', Robert de Venablis parson of Rouistr', William de Bagel', William de Karintun, Walter Mico' Alan de Tattun, William de Mara. The deed can be dated to between 1210 and 1220 when Robert, who had been presented by William de Vanables, knight, was parson of Roustorne.
  
  Gervase, son of Hugh of Mobberley, released to Walter de Toft his right to the sixth part of the township of Toft, then circa 15 Henry III, 1230, released all his right in the whole township of Toft to Roger, son of Walter, which was witnessed by William de Vernon, at that time Justiciar of Chester, and others. Robert, son of Wentlyan, had been given a moiety of a third part of the whole of a moiety of Toft in free marriage with Alice, the daughter of Hugh de Toft, and about 1230 Robert released that to Roger, son of Walter de Toft, which was witnessed by Lord Philip de Orreby then Justiciar of Chester, and others. In 18 Henry II, 1234, Benedict the son of Orme, the son of Arnold de Toft, released to Roger de Toft a third part of the moiety of Toft which Hamon de Massy, for a yearly rent of 20d, had granted to Arnold de Toft during the reign of king John. Helsby says Benedict was probably the older brother of Roger's father, Walter.
  
  Roger's oldest son was styling himself Roger Lord of Toft in 1298, so Roger the father was presumably dead by then.
