    Note: Roger de Middleton occurs again in 1226; ibid. 137. See a later note, and Dods. MSS. cxxxi, fol. 38. Henry de Chetham in 1212 also held 4 oxgangs of land in chief; Lancs. Inq. and Extents, i, 70. From the accounts of Moston and other townships it will be seen that he inherited or acquired, probably by marriage, a portion of the estates of Orm de Ashton. He attested Audenshaw and Swinton charters; Farrer, Lancs. Pipe R. 329; Whalley Couch. (Chet. Soc.), 905. In 1227 he went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem; Cal. Pat. 1225–32, p. 126. 11. The evidence has been collected by Mr. E. Axon in his Chet. Gen. (Chet. Soc.), 1–4. 12. He was sheriff in 1260; P.R.O. List, 72. In 1235, perhaps on succeeding, he procured an acknowledgement of his right to Cheetham from Robert de Middleton, he paying a mark yearly at four terms; Final Conc. (Rec. Soc. Lancs. and Ches.), i, 59. A year later he complained that Robert, as mesne, had not acquitted him of the services due to the chief lords. Robert thereupon resigned his mesne lordship to Geoffrey, and as compensation for loss granted him an estate in Ashworth; ibid, i, 74. In 1241 Geoffrey and Margaret [Grelley] his wife were concerned in a moiety of Allerton; ibid. i, 91; and see also Abbrev. Plac. (Rec. Com.), 130 (1253), and Cur. Reg. R. 160, m. 33 (1258) for other Allerton suits. In 1254, on a certain Saturday, people coming to the market at Manchester were overheard by Thomas Grelley's bailiff saying that they had heard dogs in the park (probably Blackley); the bailiff accordingly went there and found Geoffrey de Chetham's dog herding a number of animals, and thereupon the bailiff 'did as he could'; Lancs. Inq. and Extents, i, 193. He purchased from Adam de Windle land in Gartside which he afterwards resold to him; Whalley Couch. i, 164. To Cockersand Abbey he granted a rent of 2s. from his vill of Cheetham: Cockersand Chart. (Chet. Soc.), ii, 725. He died between Pentecost 1271 (Whalley Couch. iii, 886, 888) and 1274, when William de Hacking and others made claim against his widow Margery concerning lands in Crompton, Manchester, and Sholver; Dep. Keeper's Rep. xliii, App. i, 425. His widow, as Margery Grelley, was in 1276 acquitted of the charge of disseising Thomas son of John de Manchester of 3½ acres in Cheetham, which Geoffrey had demised to Master John, father of the plaintiff; Assize R. 405, m. 3 d. John Grelley and Henry de Chetham were defendants to a charge of assault at Chorlton in 1275; Coram Rege R. 18, m.8.
