[Illustration] Ormerod gives no detailed pedigree, but states that
the Cluttons had been settled at Clutton, in the parish of Farndon,
in this county, as early as the 21st of Edward I, and that the manor
of the same place was held by this family in the time of Henry VI.
In the reign of Henry VIII., Roger, third son of Owen Clutton of
Courthyn, having married an heiress of Aldersey of Chorlton, became
seated there, and was the ancestor of the present family. From
Henry, elder brother of this Roger, were descended the Clutton
Brocks late of Pensax in Worcestershire, who were there established
in the seventeenth century.
See Ormerod, ii. 366, 410, and a pedigree of this family in Harleian
MS. 2119.
