From Egerton Families of Cheshire

The Egerton family is very widespread across Cheshire and Lancashire with many branches. The following brief account of the eary history attempts to show how some of these groups are related. The Egertons trace their ancestry to John Le Belward of Depenbeche, alias Malpas, in the reign of William Rufus. The surname of Egerton was not assumed until the fifth generation, when Philip purchased Egerton in Cheshire.
