INTRODUCTION.
Families  of  the  surname  of  Huttou  have  been  common,  and  of
ancient  standing,  especially  in  the  northern  parts  of  England.
For  instance,  we  find  that,  in  the  time  of  Henry  11. ,  Richard
de  Hotun  was  witness  to  a  grant  to  Wickham  Abbey,  in  York-
shire.^ And  the  Huttons  flourished  for  some  generations  at
Hutton  Hall,  near  Highgate  Castle,  north  of  Penrith,  in  Cumber-
land.^ In  the  time  of  Edward  I.,  Thomas  de  Hutton  was  Rector
of  St.  Mary  Bishophill,  the  elder,  in  the  city  of  York.^  In  the
reign  of  Edward  II.  or  III.,  Isabel,  daughter  and  heiress  of
Robert  Hutton,  of  Hutton,  was  married  to  William  Wentworth,
of  Wentworth  Woodhouse,  [ancestor  to  the  Earls  of  Straftbrd,^]
And  to  bring  together  another  intermarriage  with  the  Went-
worth family,  though  a  long  time  after,  viz.  in  the  reign  of  K.
