  === Life Sketch ===
  The name of this family is doubtless descended of the ancient noble house of Villers, Seigniours of Lisle Adam, in Normandy, which came into England at the time of the conquest in 1066. For soon after, Pagan de Villars was lord of Crosby as well as in possession of Newbold, Nottingham which he held until the reign of Edward III. He gave to the church of St. Pete, and to Roger, archbishop of York, the titles and church of Kinalton, to the use of the household of the archbishop who lived during the time of Henry II. Crosby ended up in the hands of the Molineuxes, by Beatrix, a daughter and heir of Sir Robert, third son of Allan, son of Pagan, who married Robert Molineus, of Sefton in Lancashire from whom descended the Earl of Sefton, of Ireland.
  
  Pagan was a witness to the foundation charter of Roger of Poicton, to the monastery of Lancaster, and flourished in the reign of William II and Henry I. He was the father of Matthew, whose granddaughter and heir married Sir William de Boteler, of Warrington; William, of Newbold, Nottingham, Alan, Pagan, and others.
