Biographyde Hoghton Pedigree I: "Sir Richard Hoghton, 1st Bart. d. 1630 m. Katherine dau. Sir Gilbert Gerard of Gerard's Bromley, Staffs. Created Baronet, eighth in order of precedency, 1611. Sheriff of Lancashire 1599. M. P. for the county 1601-1611. Entertained James I on his return from Scotland, at Hoghton Tower 1617. Imprisoned in the Fleet for debt for several years afterwards."
de Hoghton Pedigree II: "Sir Richard Hoghton, of Hoghton, Knt. and Bart., under age at his father's death, and in ward to Sir Gilbert Gerard; he succeeded to a very great estate, was knighted by Q. Eliz., and Sheriff of Lancaster the 41st year of her reign, and made a Bart., 22 May, 1611, with the first advanced to that dignity; he served in several parliaments as knight of the shire for Lancaster, and entertained King James I at Hoghton Tower for several days on his progress into Scotland in 1617. He died 12 November, 1630."

Burke's Peerage: Sir Richard was born in Sept. 1570, knighted in Jan. 1589/90, created Sheriff of co. Lancaster in 1599, and was created a baronet on May 22, 1611. He represented Parliament for several years, and entertained King James I at the ancestral seat, Hoghton Tower, for several days on the latter's return from Scotland in 1617.

JWH. 32-33: "Sir Richard, b. 8, 26, 1570;d. 11, 12, 1630. At the death of his father he was under age, being but 19 years old, and in ward to Sir Gilbert Gerard. He succeeded to a very large estate, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, and was Sheriff of Lancashire in 1599. He was several times called to represent the County of Lancashire in Parliament. He was in special favor with King James I, and was among the seventeen whom the King first elevated to the dignity of Baronets, May 22d,1611. When James I, in 1617, made his tour into Scotland, he on his return stopped three days at houghton Tower, viz; August 17,18, and 19, 1617, and was entertained with great hospitality by Sir Richard as the "Bill of Fare" on that occasion indicates. A full account of the splendid festivities is still preserved. King James is said to have knighted the loin of beef served on that occasion and that portion of the carcasss has ever since been called "Sir Loin" from that event.

He married Catherine, daughter of Sir Gilbert Gerard, of Gerard's Bromley, in Staffordshire, Knight and Master of the Rolls and who died Nov. 17, 1617. By her he had six sons and eight daughters."

JWH, (quoting from Extract from the Houghton Memorial of Francis W. Houghton of New York, 1862), p. 58:

" Sir Richard Houghton was born August 26, 1570, and died November 12, 1630. He was under age at the time of his father's death, being but nineteen years old, and was in ward to Sir Gilbert Gerard, of Gerard's Bromley in Staffordshire, Master of the Rolls, an intimate neighbor of the Houghtons. Although Sir Richard succeeded to a very large estate yet he further and largely increased the talent committed to him by his own prudent management. From Thomas Laughton, the Baron of Walton and Newton, he extended the estate of Walton C. Bale in compounding with him for the affray at Lea hall and the death of Sir Thomas, the father of Sir Richard. He no doubt further augmented his estate by his marriage with Cathrine Gerard, the daughter of his former guardian, and at his death handed them to his heir, in time more extensive, leaving far higher honors and titles and a more unsullied name than they had ever before possessed. Sir Richard was knighted by Queen Elizabeth's own hand, a most signal honor at any time but doubly so when received direct from the hand of royalty, especially when it is remembered that knight hood was seldom conferred by that haughty Sovereign, and never except as a token of reward for real merit.

In 1600, three years before herr death, she appointed him Sheriff of Lancashire. While attending a county business, the Sheriff was subject to the Sovereign alone and no one was eligible to the post who could not answer with his property any complaint made by the King.

Sir Richard also stood high in favour at the court of King James I and was several times called to represent the county of Lancashire in Parliament.

Sir Richard was one of the seventeen who were first invested with the hereditary dignity of Baronet May 22, 1611. One of the chief delights of James I consisted in making costly and magnificent tours or progresses through different parts of his kingdom and visiting his wealthy subjects at their own castles. One of the most remarkable of these journeys was that which took place in the summer of 1617, when he made his memorable tour in Scotland after an absence of fourteen years therefrom. In the course of this progress King James stopped three days at Houghton Tower and was entertained with great magnificence by Sir Richard. The date of this visit was August 17, 18, and 19, 1617.

Sir Richard is described as a hale handsome man between fifty-five and sixty, with silver hair and beard and a robust and commanding person having a fresh complexion and a countenance manifesting firmness, benevolence and a well informed mind. Sir Richard had six sons and eight daugthers."

V. I. Uran, Houghton Genealogy, p. 136: Baronet by James I on May 22 1611 (Sheriff of Lane 41 Eliz, 1598 (1599?)). Moved from London to Houghton Castle by stagecoach which burned and all records lost. Believed to be the progenitor of the largest of the American branches of the Houghton family. He may have been the father of Ralph Houghton. Had 7 sons and 5 daughters ,p.136, but 13 listed (independent of Ralph).

J.W. Houghton, p. 30, states that James I stayed at Hoghton Tower in 1617 and delighted at quality of steak served to him, touched it with his sword and announced, " I knight thee, Sir Loin". Thus arose the term sirloin of beef at Hoghton Tower, according to British Travel Association. Sir-loin could also mean "above the loin".
