In 1154 to 1189, time of Henry II, Adam de Hocton styled himself Dominus de Hocton and held one carucate of land.

~The Houghton Genealogy, p. 21

• Background Information. 827
A Richard de Hoghton is found attesting charters about 1230 [Whallcy Coucher, iii, 835, 836]. Adam de Hoghton occurs in 1242 and later [Lancs. Inq. and Extents, i, 151, 158, &c]. A little earlier Adam son of Adam de Hoghton made a grant of his moiety of Heaton in Lonsdale [ibid. i, 30], the date being known by the appearance of Simon de Thornton, sheriff (1234-41), among the witnesses. Perhaps therefore the former Adam was succeeded by a son Richard and he by a brother Adam.

William II (1087), gave two carucates of land in Hocton and Eccleston to Hamo Pincerna, in free marriage with his daughter ; and that, at the date of that record, Adam de Hocton held the same Hocton, namely one carucate of land. Richard, second son of Hamo Pincerna, had Hoghton of the gift of his mother, after his father's death ; and his son, Adam succeeding to tis estates, was styled Adam de Hocton.
