WITTLEBURY, John (1333-1400), of Whissendine, Rutland and Milton and Marholm, Northants.

Family and Education
b. Whissendine, 20 July 1333, 3rd s. and h. of Aubrey Wittlebury (1306-49) of Whissendine by his w. Joan (d.1368). m. (1) by 1373, Maud (d. by 1383), da. and coh. of Sir Walter Poynton (d.1367) of Canwick, Lincs. by his w. Orframinia Lokton (d.1383), at least 2s. (1 d.v.p.). (2) by c.1393, Agnes, at least 3s. (2 d.v.p.).C137/7/41; CFR, x. 44; CIPM, ix. no. 411; x. nos. 112, 200, 201; xii. no. 302; xv. nos. 943-4. Genealogist (n.s. x. 35) mistakenly describes Richard Wittlebury as the younger son of our Member’s first marriage. It is, however, clear that his mother was Agnes, the latter’s second wife, who lived on until some point after 1408 and produced at least two other sons as well (CCR, 1405-9, p. 365; Northants. RO, Fitzwilliam mss, 1403-4; CP25(1)178/89/53). Wittlebury already had two sons by Maud Poynton, one of whom, also named John, was party to a conveyance of property in Oakham, Rutland, in 1397, but seems to have died shortly afterwards (CP25(1)192/7/25).
