William, Count of Boulogne, Warren, and Mortain (1153-1160), gave one carucate in Broughton to Huck de Broughton, to hold by homage and service of 8s. (Dodsworth MSS, vol cxlix. fol 49.) He is also said to have given th the said Huch half a carucate in Little Singleton, to hold by serjeanty, as chief bailiff to keep the sapentake of Amounderness. (Keurden MSS.) Ughtred, son of Huck, occurs frequently in the Pipe Rolls of Henry II. Ughtred had issue of a daughter, Matilda (see note, p. 114) and three sons: Robert, son of Ughtred, sometimes called "clerk," the grantor of land to Cockersan Abbey in Billsborough, - whose son, Richard, afterwards confirmed his father's grant [Billsborough, No. 13]; Ralph, "son of Ughtred"; and Richard, son of Ughtred, called "Sir Richard" in the Plea Rolls.... The said Richard died before the year 1212, when his son and heir, Alan de Singleton, was returned in the Survey made that year as holding the serjeantry of the wapentake of Blackburnshire ... Alan de Singleton died before 16th November, 1244, this being the date of the writ... William de Singleton was found to be his son and next heir... William de Singleton had a son Alan, who was twice married. By his first wife, Hawise de Cottam, he had a son, Thomas, who died s.p., and a daughter, Joan, who married Thomas Banastre, and so carried the Singleton estates ... By his second with Catherine Conyers (daughter of Robert Conyers by his wife Alice, daughter and heiress of Sir Adam de Yealand), ... he had two sons, Gilbert, his heir, and Ranulf.
