Family and Education
s. of William Wotton (d. by 1397), of London, woolman, by his w. Margaret (d.1405). m. (1) by Oct. 1403, Joan (d.1413) 2s. 1da.; (2) by Apr. 1416, Margaret.Guildhall Lib. London, 9171/2, ff. 60-60d; Beaven, Aldermen, i. 137; Corporation of London RO, hr 126/52, 133/64; CCR, 1413-19, p. 73; C1/16/319, 19/376A and B; C143/447/13. The once common belief that the London draper, Thomas Wotton, was the MP’s father (W. Herbert, Gt. Livery Companies of London, i. 434) is demonstrably untrue, but the two men may have been related. Thomas was made alnager of London for eight years in 1410 (CFR, xiii. 195).
