Biography

Richard Charlton (or Charleton), of Apley, Shropshire, was the son and heir of Robert Charlton, Esq., and Mary Corbet.^[1] Weis estimates his date of birth to be about 1450.^[2]

Richard married Elizabeth Mainwaring, daughter of William Mainwaring, of Ightfield, Shropshire, and his wife Margaret, daughter of Griffin Warren, Esq.^[1] They had two sons and two daughters:

• Richard^[1]
• William^[1]
• Anne, married Francis Yonge^[1][3]
• Anne, married Randall Grosvenor^[1]

In 1504, Richard granted his son, William, a messuage in Haughton, Shropshire.^[1]

Richard Charlton died in 1522.^[1]

Research Notes

It is not a mistake to have two daughters named Anne listed for Richard Charlton. One Anne married Francis Yonge and the other Anne married Randall Grosvenor.^[1]
