Confirmation as son of Sir Walter Wrottesley, is demonstrated by the deeds formerly at Wrottesley, by the Inquisition on his fathers death, by another Inquisition on the death of his grandmother Thomasine, and the suits of 1 Richard III and 16 Henry VII respecting the Arderne estates. [3]

This stone still exists in the Wrottesley Chapel at Tettenhall, a slab of alabaster, with the portraitures of a man in armour, and his wife, drawn in black lines. The armour is of the reign of Edward IV. At their feet are effigies of sixteen children, and on either side, near the upper part of the stone, are shields bearing the arms of Wrottesley and Dudley.

Of the seven daughters of Richard Wrottesley,
Anne married Thomas Leveson, of Wolverhampton and Willenliall, and another dauf^hter, Marjory or Marj^faret, married James Lev^eson, of Perton, a rich merchant oi' the Staple, and ancestor of the Dukes of Sutherland. Accordino; to the pedigree of Onslow in the Visitation of Shropshire of 1628, as printed by the Harleian Society, Margaret, the daughter of Richard Wrottesley, married Humphre}?' Onslow, of Onslow, co. Salop, but whether this is the same Margaret who married James Leveson, or there were two daughters named respectivel}^ Margaret and Marjory, I am unable to say.
