Sir John de Aston was elected knight of the shire with Sir Richard de Falede, and according to the custom of that period, received from his constituents an allowance of expenses for eighteen days attendance in Parliament. Some years after, he was appointed by King Edward III. high sheriff of the county of Stafford; an office, which as Hume has shewn, in his History of England, was in those feudal times of the greatest trust and consequence. The high sheriff was called in Latin Vice-comes, from which the modern title of Viscount is derived." (A topographical and historical description of the parish of Tixall) Married/ Related to: N.N.
