A note from the Rootsweb source explains: "Thomas Scriven was of Frodesley, and a joint lord of the manor of Marton. The Henauds or Henalds, lords of Frodesley in 1230, were also lords of Marton as early as 1240 (Eyton's Antiq. of Shropshire, vol. xi, p. 81). In the Nomina villarum of 1316, John Honaud was enrolled lord of Frodesley (Ib. vol. vi, pp. 292-4). In the same, John de Henaud, Regis de Mathehurst, and Simon de Henaud, were enrolled as joint lords of Marton (Ib. vol. xi, p. 83). A portion of this divided seigneurial right devolved upon the family of Scriven, subsequently of Frodesley, by the marriage of John Scriven, bailiff of Salop in 1402-6, with Joanna, heiress of John Henald; and of Reginald Scriven, living in 1389, with the heiress of Simon Henald above. The Lloyds of Marton held the remaining, or some portion, of the seigneurial rights over, besides freehold lands and subsequent purchases from the Scriven family in Marton."
