Biography

Henry Done was born in 1282. His family came from Utkinton, Cheshire, England, so he may have been born there.^[1]

Henry was the son of Richard Done of Utkinton and his wife, Ellin, the daughter of Sir Thomas Swinnerton,^[1] co Stafford.^[2] In 31 Edward I (20 November 1302-19 November 1303) Henry's grandfather, Richard Done of Utkinton stated his pedigree in a plea to a quo warranto.^{[1] [2]}

After his mother's death, Henry's father married as his second wife, Isabella, who when widowed married Robert de Huxley.^[2] An Inquisition post mortem for Richard Done, Henry's father, was held in 6 Edward II,^[2] which was 8 July 1312-7 July 1313.^[2]

Henry was the younger brother of Richard Done, who married Joanna — and was living in 3 Edward III (25 January 1329-24 January 1330), because in that year his step-mother and her second husband, Robert de Huxley, obtained the manor of Utkinton for their lives, remainder to Richard son of Richard Done, and his wife, Joanna.^[2]

Henry married Mary, the daughter and coheir of Sir Piers Thornton,^[1] aka le Roter, and the widow of William de Golburne.^[2]
