The Dod family tree and its association with Highfields.

 

 

 

 

Cadwgan Dot of Malpas

“Dot, the Saxon Lord of sixteen manors, either exclusively, or of a considerable portion thereof was joint Lord of Cholmondeley, Hampton, Grappenhall and two thirds of the Bickerton with this very Edwin. Dot was ejected from all his manors (after the Norman conquest), and the circumstance of the heiress of the relics of Edwin 's lands matching herself with a man who bore the name of one so closely connected with her apparent ancestor seems to make this marriage the results of an old family friendship and alliance, and to lead to a deduction of Cadwgan Dot from the Dot of Domesday. A descent in the male line from a Saxon, noticed in that record, would be unique in the county of Chester.”
