b. c.1369, s. and h. of Sir Thomas Burton† (c.1335-1382) of Tolethorpe Hall and Titcomb, Berks. by his 2nd w. Margery (fl.1414), wid. of Robert Grim of Upton, Hunts.; Her parentage is uncertain. Drawing on the evidence of the now-lost ‘Tolethorpe Roll’ compiled for our MP’s son Thomas in 1441, Blore identified her as a da. of an esquire from Lancs., Robert ‘Cophell’, presumably from the family settled at Coppull: T. Blore, Rutland, 217; VCH Lancs. vi. 224-5 Other evidence suggests she was from a Rutland family, the Greenhams of Ketton: The Commons 1386-1421, ii. 441. She died between 1414 and 1421: Trans. Cambs. and Hunts. Arch. Soc. ii. 196. ?er. bro. of John Burton†. m. by c.1411, Margaret, prob. da. of Robert Louthe† (d.c.1391) of Hertingfordbury, Herts., There is contemporary evidence to support the pedigrees’ identification of his wife as a da. of Robert Louthe. By a deed dated 29 June 1408 Louthe granted property in Hertfordshire and Middlesex to a group of feoffees, headed by Humphrey, later duke of Gloucester, and including Burton: CAD, i.
