"Knights of Edward I" has this to add of Sir William:
"of Essex; de argent, a un chevron de sable; in Wales, 1277; Justice of
gaol delivery a Colchester, 1294; he and wife Maud held Chaureth manor,
Essex, as two knights' fees of her inheritance, late of John de
Luvetot, 12 March 1295 [IPM]; knight of the shire for Essex, 1305,
1311; summoned to the Coronation of Edward II, 8 February 1308; living
1316."
So we see that his wife was Maud, and that she inherited the manor of
Chaureth.
Morant adds that Chaureth manor, at Broxted, was held by William de
Wanton [sic, this being the original name, he says, since corrupted to
Wauton] in 1294; it descended to William, probably his son [this is
probably the William de Wauton mentioned in the Essex Feet of Fines,
below] who died in 1347, whence it passed to the latter's son Sir
William, who married Maud de Arden but left as his coheirs his sister
Joan, wife of William Chalke, and Anne, daughter of his other sister
Alianor by her husband John Ednesore [IPM 17 RIichard II].
Accordingly, it is likely that Sir William had an eldest son, William,
before John, Robert, Thomas and Bartholomew.
Some of the actual feet of fines entries are as follows:
Michaelmas 10 Edward II: John de Wauton, plaintiff, William de Wauton,
deforciant; 234 acres and one messuage at Steeple Bumpstead, remainder
to Robert, brother of the plaintiff, and Thomas and Bartholomew his
brothers and the heirs of his body, default to deforciant and his
heirs.
Michaelmas 10 Edward II: Robert, son of William de Wauton, plaintiff,
William de Wauton, deforciant; 137 acres of land etc; remainder to
plaintiff's brothers John, Thomas and Bartholomew and the heirs of
their bodies.
These transactions should therefore be viewed as the alienation of
properties to provide for younger sons. It is unclear whether this was
done before or after the death of Sir William.

Actually, a review of the chronology here makes it probable that Roger
Harleston's daughter, the wife of John Burgoyne (died after 1398), was
born to a first marriage, which would make Ives Harleston's mother
Margaret de Wauton the second wife of Roger. The problem is thus:
1. Sir John de Wauton, born circa 1332 (aged 14 in December 1346),
father of:
2. Margaret de Wauton, born no earlier than, say, 1348; married Roger
Harleston, MP, died circa 1389 (HoP); issue:
3a. Ives Harleston, son and heir; came of age in 1399, thus born circa
1378
3b. (daughter of Roger Harleston), if daughter of Margaret de Wauton,
born no earlier than, say, 1361, but according to the Visitation of
Cambridgeshire, mother of:
4. John Burgoyne, MP (d 1435), employed as a lawyer by 1394; alnager of
Cambs, 1399 - i.e. born no later later than 1375.
It would seem extremely unlikely, even given two females in the line of
descent, that Sir John de Wauton (born circa 1332) would have a great
grandson active in the mid-1390s.

been born about 1405 per HOP.
I have no dates for John's father Bartholomew, but his grandfather
Bartholomew appears to have died 1335.

Thanks, Hap. Thomas's sister, Grace, was married (or at least
contracted) circa 1407 to John Peyton (c1393-1416), according to HoP,
which indicates she was probably older than Thomas.
The Bartholomews' dates are even murkier - the younger is said in Vis
Cambs to have married the daughter of Sir John Freville (d 1372) thus
acquiring Caxton, but I have not seen this backed up by anything
contemporary (e.g. the IPM for Sir John's widow Ellen does not name an
heir, and the Freville estates at Little Shelford passed to his
brother, Robert). I presume the elder Bartholomew is the one of that
name, of Boxworth, granted a pardon in 1327 [Cal. Pat. Rolls 8.3.1327],
but it is not clear which is referred to in the following:
8 February 1336: Commission on complain that inter alia Edmund son of
Bartholomew Burgoyne assaulted Roger le Warde; Cambridgeshire. [Cal.
Pat. Rolls].
