William de Notton, second son of Gilbert the Seneschal, married Cecily, daughter and heir of Edith, lady of Barton, and step-daughter of his father. She probably died young, having had issue two sons, Gilbert, her heir and Matthew. William de Notton is named in the Inquest of Lancashire, taken in 1212, as lord of Breightmet, which estate probably descended to his younger son, Matthew, whose heir was Avina, who married Sir William de Samlesbury of Samlesbury, and Harewood, to whose daughters and coheirs this estate descended. William de Notton is definitely described as the husband of the daughter of Edith de Barton, in her grant of the moiety of Cadishead to Stanlaw Abbey, which she made "with the assent and good will of my husband, Sir Gilbert de Notton, for the health of our souls, and for the health of John de Barton, my son, and for the health of my daughter, to wit, the wife of William de Notton." [Whalley Coucher, p. 521] Edith de Barton, her husband Gilbert de Notton, the Seneschal, and his son, William de Notton, all died before 16 Oct 1220, at which date thei heir was under age and in the ward of Robert Grelley. [Close Roll, 4 hen III, m. 1d]
