Further checking revealed that this William Wilkinson was of "Rode" (as stated in "The Registers of the Parish Church of Gawsworth in the County of Chester, 1557-1837" found in the FHL) and that he might be the William Wilkinson who left a will in 1632 or 1648 (since both William Wilkinson's who left wills were stated as being from "North Rode"; see FHL book # 942.7, B4LC, V.4, p.237).

"John, eldest son of Thomas of Middlehulme, was born c. 1508 and succeeded there as "a leaseholder of land" as did Thomas, born to John and his wife Johanne, c. 1538. In 1574, Thomas and his widowed mother agreed with John Cooke of Tottesmore that he pay a dowry of 40 [pounds] for a marriage between Thomas and Ann Cooke. The sons of Thomas and Ann were Lionel and Richard, for both of whom he made provision in a marriage dower for Anne Wilkinson of Cheshire, whose sons were Lionel, Thomas and Martin, born between 1620 and 1640. Middlehulme belonged entirely to the Broughs and was entailed from eldest son to eldest son...."The death of John Burgh (in 1557) was mentioned by Catharine Ann Brough Hind in her Hind Research Reports to the RBFO, page 466.
The Will of John Burgh, dated 20 August 1557, can be found in David Bethell's Research Reports, p. 59-60.

(RBFO Research Reports from Ann Hind, pages 448-456.)
Information on Richard Burgh was obtained from research reports provided by Catharine Ann Brough Hind to the RBFO in August-September 2000. (RBFO Research Reports from Ann Hind, pages 448-456.)
On April 4, 2017, David Bethell, a retired professional genealogist in Staffordshire, England, provided the following Chancery document to the BFO that contained the name of "Richard Broughe" and which document is probably associated with Richard Brough (1536-1574) of Middle Hulme, Leek, Staffordshire, England:
"22 November 1570; Richard Broughe pl'; Mary Broughe widow & Will'm Broughe def'
"For asmuch as before this tyme an attach' hathe issued owte of this Courte against the said def'ts, and there appeareth no just cause, or considerac' on whie the same should be awarded[.] And also for that the Attorney for the said def'ts hathe vndertaken that the said def'ts or one for therin sufficiently authorised should be heard in Courte xva pasche next1 then to receive and stand to suche order as this Courte shall take in the cause betwene the said pties[.] Therefor a Sups'2 is awarded to staie the said attach'. p Cur'."
(For information about the Court of Chancery in England and Wales see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Chancery)
On April 11, 2017, Philip Brough, a retired judge living in Cheadle, Staffordshire, provided the following translation of this document into modern English as follows:
"22 November 1570: Richard Brough (Plaintiff) -v- Mary Brough (widow) and William Brough (Defendants)
"Forasmuch as before this time an attachment had issued out of this Courte- against the said defendants and there appears no just cause or consideration while the same should be awarded And also for that the Attorney for the said defendants had undertaken that the said defendants or one for therein sufficiently authorised should be heard in Court 15, Pasche next, then to receive and stand to such order as this Court shall take in the cause between the said parties. Therefore a subpoena is awarded to state the said attachment. per. Curaim"
On April 20, 2017, members of the BFO Research Committee determined that this document (and others recently discovered) possibly relates to the following individuals:
"We know that Richard Brough of Middle Hulme, Leek, Staffordshire, England, was born in 1536 and thus aged 34 when this action was brought. We also know that his father was John Brough and that Richard Brough died in 1574. William Brough, the second defendant, could be the William Brough born in 1525, and that he was the grandson of Richard de Burgh, born 1450. Richard Brough the plaintiff would be the great grandson of this same Richard de Burgh. It follows therefore as being at least a logical possibility, that Richard, the Plaintiff, was the elder son of the oldest grand son of Richard de Burgh and thus felt himself entitled to the family land which had by some means come into the possession of another member of the family who has since died leaving his widow, Mary, in possession; and Richard is bringing the action to recover what he considers is rightfully his."
"Tho: Millner" is listed in the 1665 Will of "Martin Brough of Leek", dated 14 March 1664/1665, Inventory on 7 April 1665, and Probated on 21 November 1665, Lichfield Consistory Court, Staffordshire, England, and descrtibed in the RBFO Research Reports of David Bethell of Staffordshire, England (dated 13 October 1977, p.31), which lists "Martin Brough of Middlehoulme in pishe of Leeke Husbandman sicke in bodie", and his family as follows: "my Brother Thomas Brough", "my Brother in law Christofer goodale", "Thomas Waterhouwse my Brother in law", "Tho: Millner my brother in Law", "my Sister Sara Waterhowse", "Jane Goddale my Sister", and "Anne Brough my mother" and "Sole executor".
Anne Brough is listed by her brother, Lionel Brough, in his will of 20 June 1649. See Hind Research Report, page 470.
"Anne Brough" (a sister of Martin Brough) married Thomas Millner, who is listed in the 1665 Will of "Martin Brough of Leek", dated 14 March 1664/1665, Inventory on 7 April 1665, and Probated on 21 November 1665, Lichfield Consistory Court, Staffordshire, England, and descrtibed in the RBFO Research Reports of David Bethell of Staffordshire, England (dated 13 October 1977, p.31), which lists "Martin Brough of Middlehoulme in pishe of Leeke Husbandman sicke in bodie", and his family as follows: "my Brother Thomas Brough", "my Brother in law Christofer goodale", "Thomas Waterhouwse my Brother in law", "Tho: Millner my brother in Law", "my Sister Sara Waterhowse", "Jane Goddale my Sister", and "Anne Brough my mother" and "Sole executor".
Marriage Notes for Thomas Millner and Anne Brough-283
Ann Hind stated in January 2008 that Anne Burgh (Brough) married Thomas Milner, as described in the "Will of Anne nee Wilkinson (1670) of their youngest son Martin (made in 1664, proved 1665) and of Lionel Jnr (made 1649, proved 1753) and all name Anne's daughters...[including their daughter] Anne [who was the] wife of Thomas Milner."
"Mary Milner" is listed in the 1670 Will of "Ann Brough of Leek", dated 7 October 1670, Inventory on 18 October 1670, and Probated on 20 October 1670, Lichfield Consistory Court, Staffordshire, England, and descrtibed in the RBFO Research Reports of David Bethell of Staffordshire, England (dated 13 October 1977, p.32), which lists "Ann Brough of Leeke widd:", and her family members as: "my daughter Jane Goodales Two Children Viz: John & Jane Goodale", "my soone Thomas Brough", "my grandchilde Mary Milner (minor)", Hannah Waterhouse one other of my grandchildren (minor)", "Sarah Waterhouse sister unto ye s[ai]d Hannah Waterhouse (minor)", and "my Loveinge daughter Jane Goodale, Late wife of Christopher Goodale my Executor".

"Thomas Burgh of Wynyates, elder son Richard was born about 1510 and the family names of Thomas, Robert, Edmund and Ralph appended to the younger sons, as they did confusingly to other men of the family, for generations to come. Thomas was initially 'a leaseholder of land' at Winyates, and whilst sons or serving men worked his fields Thomas, as a literate and able man well able to undertake the work of administration and government, achieved the position of Gentleman with the right to use and display the Brough coat-of-arms [of 'Argent, on a saltire sable, five swans of the first']. ...John, eldest son of Thomas of Middlehulme, was born c. 1508 and succeeded there as 'a leaseholder of land'...."In the 2000 RBFO book "The Broughs of Staffordshire, England and their English, American and Australian Descendants" page 54, Catharine Ann Brough Hind of England states the following:

Earlier sources stated that this family may have had an additional child, also named "Richard Burgh" born about 1518 in Windygates, Leek. (The LDS Ordinance Index states this Richard Burgh was baptized on 19 Oct 1990, Ogden; endowed 5 March 1991, Ogden Temple; sealed to parents 8 March 1991, Ogden). However, this now (30 March 2001) appears questionable.

The following comments about "Thomas Burgh" have been extracted from the BFO online publication: "The Early Broughs of Staffordshire: 1055 to 1510", by David Bethell, 1981. Online reference: http://www.broughfamily.org/history/broughs_1055-1510_ad.html):
The last trace of the Brough family at Brewood is in the bede roll of 1532-3, which lists a Richard Brough at Gunstone, his wife Alice, their children Thomas and Maud, and their parents Reyne (Reginald) and John. Thomas Brough, the first of the line recorded at Leek, about 1510, is not listed under Leekfrith, where his son Robert and his family appears. There is no trace of any connection with Leek earlier than c1510."Thomas" Burge is listed in the publication "A List of Families in the Archdeaconry of Stafford, 1532-1533" (by Ann Kettle, Staffordshire Record Society, 1976, page 85), which states that the following individuals were residing in Gunstone (Gonston) near Brewood, Staffordshire, in 1532-1533: "Richard Burge, Alice, uxor eius, Thomas, Maud, parentes, Reyne, John".
"Maud" is listed in the publication "A List of Families in the Archdeaconry of Stafford, 1532-1533" (by Ann Kettle, Staffordshire Record Society, 1976, page 85), which states that the following individuals were residing in Gunstone (Gonston) near Brewood, Staffordshire, in 1532-1533: "Richard Burge, Alice, uxor eius, Thomas, Maud, parentes, Reyne, John".
