Care has been taken to distinguish him from his younger namesake, John Hampden of Great Hampden, who sat for Bucks. in 1427, [1429], 1431, 1432 and 1445. This kinsman, the s. and h. of Edmund Hampden*, served as a j.p. in the shire from July 1422; and as sheriff of Beds. and Bucks. in 1434-5, 1438-9, 1450-1 and 1456-7. It was presumably he, too, who officiated as escheator from May 1422 to Nov. 1423; and again in 1431-2; as he afterwards obtained a royal pardon as ‘late escheator’: C67/38 m. 21. This John, a Lincoln’s Inn lawyer, moved in more exalted circles than our MP, being closely associated with Thomas Chaucer* and his son-in-law, William de la Pole, duke of Suffolk. He died on 17 Feb. 1458; C139/167/9.
