VCH for Nutley says the Nortons held it for over 400 years, by one of those weird tenures. Pedigree not set out, but footnote 8 gives a string of primary sources for it.
Hampshire Visitations, as stitched together by Mundy, has this chart. Agnes isn't shown, but her sister Jane, Viscountess Lisle, is.
I do not see any of these Richardson citations identifying the father as someone from Yorkshire, so where are we getting that from? Yorkshire is a long way from Hampshire.
