    Have you had any luck confirming that Thomas Kirton was descended from Sir John Kirkton, Knight Banneret, as stated in the pedigree ? I would guess that the heralds must have had some proof of this, which should appear in their notes. I would suspect that this Sir John is probably one and the same as Sir John de Kirketon, Knight, of the Manor of Kirketon, at Kirketon-in-Holland (Haylaund), (modern Kirton, near Boston, Lincs.) in the Wapentake of Kirketon, Lincolnshire. This John de Kirketon was the grandson of one Peter Bozon de Kirketon, who, before June, 1272, married Elizabeth Woodthorp, dau. & heir (or co-heir?) of Sir William Woodthorp, Knt. of Aisthorp, Lincs.. ("Aisthorp, A History of the Village" by Foster" (she was named as Elizabeth de Kirketon, Lady of Aisthorp in 1303, & died in 1333.) Peter had died by 1300. (Ref.: Visit. of Lincs., 1592 under Littlebury; & "Notes & Queries", 6th. Series, Vol.8, London, Jul.-Dec. 1883) This couple had two sons, Thomas & Robert. Thomas was "Summoned
    to Parliament by Writ" on 25 Feb., 1342 to become Lord Thomas, Baron de Kirketon, but died soon afterwards d.s.p., John becoming his heir. Thomas' coat of arms carried the blazon: "Gules, barry of six, argent." The younger son, Sir Robert de Kirketon, Knt., (Blazon: " Gules, barry of six, ermine" i.e. differenced for the younger son) married Beatrice or Beatrix de Driby, sister of Robert de Driby. This couple had one son John de Kirketon, and two daughters: Florence de Kirketon (d.s.p.), first
    wife of Sir Robert de Littlebury, and Alice de Kirketon, who married Sir John Loudham, Knt., died 1318, and secondly of John de Bret (or Breton).
