Notes for: David Wycliffe
It's really important to figure how who this Wycliffe was since he could be related to the David Wycliffe who came to America. The name David Wycliffe is very uncommon among the English Wycliffes. This is really one the only David Wycliffe I've seen in England.
The English records only had his name and not his wife's in the baptism records for Ann and Margaret.
I found something in the The Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Chronicle, from January to June 1814, v. LXXXIV, by Sylvanus Urban, London, Nichols, Son & Bentley: 1814. On pages 643-644 there is a letterr to Mr. Urban from a Mr. Dunelmensis discussing a statement by a Mr. Senex who disputed a previous statement by Dunelmensis in the magazine saying that the male line of Wycliffes had died out with the death of Ralph Wycliffe in 1606 and had thus passed to the Tunstall family. Senex said that the Tunstalls had mortgaged the Wycliffe lands from a David Wycliffe at the beginning of the 1700's. Dunelmensis says that Senex said, "the male line did not become extinct on the death of the above Ralph, but was continued in his uncle William, whom I mention to be living in 1611; and that David, the grandson of this William, mortgaged the estates to Marmaduke Tunstall, esq. in the beginning of the last century."
I think Senex must have gotten somewhat confused because Ralph's father was a William Wycliffe. Ralph did not have an uncle named William, but Ralph did have an uncle named Thomas who was the father of a Robert Bodine who was quite possibly the father of a David Wycliffe. That David "Wickliffe" may be the one to have emigrated to America. It would not have been this David Wycliffe. Ralph Wycliffe had several other uncles who couild be the great-grandfather of this David Wycliffe, but I doubt they could have been this David's grandfather.
I don't know where Senex got the idea that a David Wycliffe mortgaged the Wycliffe estates to the Tunstalls, but the article is interesting. There really isn't much more on David in it, but it is available at Google Books as of March 2012.
On Google Books, I also found a good article in Northern Notes and Queries, edited by Henry Reginald Leighton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne: M. S. Dodds: 1906-07. It is on pages 163-165 and is called "The Descendants and Connections of George Dale, of Barnard's Castle." There is a suit brought by Ann Allison which gives a pedigree on David Wycliffe.
