Robert of Legh 
Robert was born in 1307 in Booths Hall, Norbury, Cheshire, England.1 Robert's father was John of Legh and his mother was Ellen de Corona. His paternal grandparents were Sir William Venables and Agnes of Legh; his maternal grandparents were Thomas de Corona and <Unknown>. He had three brothers named Peter, John and William. He died at the age of 63 in 1370 in Adlington, Macclesfield, Cheshire, England.2 General Notes
2nd sonSir Robert de Legh, eldest of the sons of Ellena de Corona, here named, succeeded to the Adlington estate under the settlement of his grandfather Corona, made in 1317, but by the inquisition Ellena was found to have held Adlington for life. He married Matilda, daughter and heiress of Adam de Worley. Adlington and Macclesfield appear from Domesday to have formed two great manors held in demesne by the Saxon Earls before the Conquest and Norman Earls after, and in one or the other of these, nearly all the unnamed districts of Prestbury, Cheadle and Wilmslow parishes seem to have been comprehended. Robert's eldest brother inherited the estates of Booth, which had been purchased by their father.
