Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to 1327 as Uston was ordered to provide for the petitioners from the lands entrusted to him on 12 March 1327 (CFR 1327-37, p.27). The rationale for Fraser's dating of c. 1323 is unclear and appears erroneous (Northumberland Petitions, pp.30-1 (no.25)).
