Troll much? Dear Linda, To try and clarify. About 1430, John Thwaites of Lofthouse, near Harewood, Yorkshire (died before October 1469) acquired the manor of Denton by purchase or grant. So earlier generations of this family were not from Denton. This John Thwaites was almost certainly the son of Thomas Thwaites of Lofthouse who was living in 1411. There is very little information in contemporary records regarding earlier generations of this Thwaites family. A Thomas Thwaites died on 15 October 1356 holding land in Lofthouse and leaving a son and heir Robert aged 5 years. The generation(s) between Robert Thwaites and Thomas, father of John Thwaites is unclear. See: Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, vol. 10, Edward III (1921), 292, No. 343. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/vol10/pp292-305 Do not trust "internet pedigrees" they are often based on imagination and guesswork.

I suppose this must be the same many in 1440? Easter 1440, second full entry: London. William Chapman versus John Thwaytes, of Lofthous, Yorks, gentleman, for debt (and others). http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT1/H6/CP40no717/bCP40no717dorses/IMG_1905.htm
