notes on Elena (Ellen) de Corona
Copied from Adlington Hall website, fp.adlington.plus.com/history.htm:------------------------- HISTORY
Of Adlington prior to the Norman Conquest we know very little, except that it was held by the Saxon Earl Edwin, not as a place of residence, but as a hunting lodge in the Forest of Macclesfield. After the Conquest it passed to Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, and the nephew of William the Conqueror. As "Edulvinstane" it is mentioned in the Domesday Survey.
Early in the thirteenth century it was granted to a family named "de Corona". Four generations of this family lived at Adlington, Thomas and Ellen de Corona being the children of the third generation. Thomas married, but his son predeceased him without issue. Ellen married John de Legh of Booths and in the year 1315 Thomas de Corona granted Adlington to his sister Ellen and her husband for their lives, with remainder to Robert de Legh their second son and his heirs for ever. The Legh family has lived at Adlington since this date.

(Ormerod, The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, vol. 3 pt. 2 p. 654)

DEATH: She died in or a little before 26 Edward III (1352/1353). (Ormerod, The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, vol. 3 pt. 2 p. 654)

INQUISITION POST MORTEM: 26 Edward III (1352/1353). (Ormerod, The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, vol. 3 pt. 2 p. 661)(Research)

KINSHIP: Conflict/Error> Ormerod's 'History of Cheshire' volume 1 part 2 pages 497 and 499 makes her the daughter of Thomas de Corona.(Research)

KINSHIP: Conflict/Error> Rylands' 'Visitation of Cheshire in the Year 1580' volume 18 pages 145, 147, and 151 call her "Ellin d. & heire to Sr Wm Baguley".(Research)

KINSHIP: Correction> Ormerod's 'History of Cheshire' volume 3 part 2 page 654 footnote b states "Some of the Cheshire pedigrees erroneously make Ellen daughter of William de Baguley, by a daughter of Thomas de Corona".(Research)

KINSHIP: Correction> Ormerod's 'History of Cheshire' volume 3 part 2 page 661 states "erroneously called by the pedigrees daughter of Thomas de Corona, but probably his aunt, and sister of John de Coroun, Lord of Adelynton, and probably heiress-at-law of the Corouns". Page 654 states "Elen Legh (called Corona by Ormerod) is erroneously made by the pedigrees (followed by Mr. Ormerod, both here and in vol. I of this work, p. 499) daughter of Thomas de Coroun, or Corona; but by the discovery of fresh evidence, an opportunity is now afforded of showing the improbability (amounting almost to an impossibly) of this Thomas having been grandfather 9 Edward II to the children of Elen de Legh." In this settlement, 9 Edward II, limitations were to the settlor for life (Thomas de Coroun), and then to the heirs of his body, with remainder to John de Legh and Elen his wife for their lives in survivorship, with successive remainders in tail to their sons, Robert, William and Peter, with final remainder to the right heirs of the said John. "She must therefore be sought in an earlier generation; and in the absence of every indication, save one, of her paternity, it is not improbable that she was sister, or more probably, aunt to Thomas de Coroun. She and her husband, John de Legh, in 10 Edw. II. had a further grant from Thomas de Coroun, of the reversion in fee of the lands which Lucy de Coroun then held in dower in Adlyngton, and the reversion of the lands which Margaret widow of John de Coroun held in this manor."
