Marriages - Three
After the death of Sir Thomas D'Anyers, the wardship of his daughter and heiress (Margaret) was given to Sir John de Radcliffe, who after an ecclesiastical enquiry regarding his rights married her. Through her mother, Isabel be Bagguley, Margaret was heiress of Clemency de Cheadle. The Cheadles were a branch of the Duttons, and Sir John's mother was the widow of Sir Hugh Dutton when she married his father. Sir John died without issue, and Lady Margaret afterwards was married to Sir John Savage, whose descendants succeeded to the Cheadle estates. Six years later she was again a widow and she was married to a third husband in Sir Piers de Legh, younger son of Robert de Legh of Adlington.

Link between major Cheshire Families
Ward ley, after the death of Roger Downes, was the inheritance of his sister Penelope. She was the wife of a man distinguished alike by his talents and his vices. Richard Savage, fourth Earl Rivers, was the representative of an ancient Cheshire family, whose original seat was at Frodsham, and who afterwards gave their name to Rock Savage, near Clifton.The Leighs of Lyme, the Leghs of Ridge, and the Savages of Clifton all claim a common ancestress in Margaret Daniers, who married successively Sir John Radcliffe, John Savage, and Piers Legh of Maxfield. Thomas Savage, the Archbishop of York, who died in 1508, belonged to this family, which intermarried with the Buttons, Booths, Ley- cesters, Mainwarings, Stanleys, Traffords, and other great families. A brother of the archbishop, Sir John Savage, was a follower of the Earl of Richmond, and placed the crown on that noble's head after the battle of Bosworth, which gave Henry VII. to the English throne. The son of this Sir John was another Sir John, who for twenty-four years was Sheriff of Worcestershire. One of his daughters was married to a John Hampden of Hampden. Another Sir John Savage was the nineteenth person who was admitted to the new order of baronets. He was Mayor and Sheriff of Chester in 1607, and died in 1614. His son, Sir Thomas Savage, married the daughter of Lord D'Arcy, who in 1621 was created Viscount Colchester, and in 1626 advanced to be Earl Rivers, with remainder to his son-in-law, Sir Thomas Savage, who was created Viscount Savage two days after the grant of a peerage to his wife's father. The third Earl Rivers married a natural daughter of Scrope, Earl of Sunderland; and his second son, Richard, succeeded to the title on the death of his father, I4th September, 1694. Before that date he was resident in this district, or at all events he possessed property, for in an old rate book there is an entry of " Richard Savage, Lord Viscount Colchester, for part of the Demesne of Barton."
