The Bishop was to deliver to the said John all grants of the wardship and marriage of he said Elizabeth which he had received from King Henry VII, and all leases he had of the King pertaining to Elizabeth's inheritance.[2]
Also in 2 Henry VIII [22 April 1510-21 April 1511], John Werberton, Kt, made his Will, conforming with the above deed.[2]
On 20 April, 1519, Peter Warburton, son and heir of Sir John Warburton, Sheriff of Cheshire, granted to his father, Sir John, all manors, lands, tenements, and rents in Cheshire or elsewhere possessed or seised in the right of Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Winnington, for the preferment and advancement of Peter's sisters, Blanche, Ellen, and Dowce, except for the manor of Marthall.[6]
John died a little before 19 October 1523.[1]
After his death, Piers (Perys) Warburton, esquire, son of John Warburton, knight, from Cheshire, sued Sibyl Starky, 'gentylwoman which was paramoure unto the seid Sr John' for detention of deeds relating to the manor of Warburton and other lands, which Piers claims as heir of his father and in right of his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Richard [Mydylton? This document is mutilated and partly illegible],[7] It should be Wynnington.
Also, Jane, late the wife of John Werburton of Sutton, knight, from Cheshire, sued Sibell Starky of Stretton, single-woman, for a third of her said husband's goods and chattels 'unleafully spoyled' at Sutton, no part given to her or to Elyn and Dowse, his unmarried daughters.[9]
