SYMON, John, of Cornw.

He is not to be confused with John, s. of Roger Lowys by Margaret, da. and h. of John Symon† (d.c.1381) of Bodmin, who adopted his grandfather’s name after his parents were divorced in 1379: J. Maclean, Trigg Minor, iii. 422; Cornw. Feet of Fines (Devon and Cornw. Rec. Soc. 1914), 611, 655; ibid. (1950), 716; Reg. Brantingham ed. Hingeston-Randolph, 28. Between 1405 and 1410 that John was engaged in lawsuits with his half-brother John Foll: CPR, 1405-8, pp. 114, 162; 1408-13, p. 5; CCR, 1405-9, p. 80; Reg. Stafford, 345; JUST 1/1536 mm. 27, 114d). He must have been fairly young at the time of the Cambridge Parliament.
