Logenton : for Louinton or Lokinton—or, as Dugdale gives it, Levinton, a baronial name. Robert de Louinton held in Dorset and Somerset in 1189-90 (Rot. Pip.): and Roger de Lokinton, in 1246, witnesses Henry III.'s charter to Ivychurch Priory. Robert and William de Lokinton, and William's daughter Margery, occur in Yorkshire about 1272.—Rotuli Hundredorum. In Cumberland they held the Barony of Burgh-upon-Sands, which Richard, the son of Adam de Levinton, inherited in 1229. He died in 1249, childless; and was succeeded by his brother Ralph, who had already considerable possessions, for his wife Ada, one of the two daughters and co-heirs of Joan de Morville, became, by the death of her sister Helewise de Vernon, eventually the sole heiress. They had an only daughter, of whom Dugdale can only tell us, that when she lost her father in 1253, she was a minor, and in ward to Eustace de Baliol. I find in Surtees' History of Durham that her name was Hawyse, and that she married her guardian, to whom she brought the manors of Ayketon and Lasinby, and half of Burgh-upon-Sands.

William de Lovinton held at West Lavington, Sussex, of the Archbishop of Canterbury.—Testa de Nevill.
