SMYTHE, John II (d.1599/1600), of King’s Lynn, Norf.

Except where otherwise stated, this biography is based upon E. Hughes, Studies in Admin. and Finance. However, the suggestion that Smythe was the s. of Charles Smythe, MP St. Albans 1572; has not been accepted in the light of Al. Cant. i(4), p. 100; which has him a fellow of King’s, Camb. to 1577; then retiring to Little Bardfield, Essex. Salt-pan Smythe’s parentage remains unascertained.
