Notes for: John Wycliffe

This family comes from An History of Richmondshire, in the North Riding of the County of York; together with those parts of the Everwicschire of Domesday which form The Wapentakes of Lonsdale, Ewecross, and Amunderness, in the Counties of York, Lancaster, and Westmoreland, by Thomas Dunham WHITAKER. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees (and others), 1823. 2 volumes. Here is the info given there on this family:

John Wycliffe, filius et haeres, living 1612, nt Gales, in Co., York; died in his father's lifetime. Married Margaret, daughter to Henry Dethick, of Gretham, in Coun. Pal, Dun. Esquire.

And here is additional information from The Genealogist (New Series), H. W. Forsyth Harwood, v. xxi. George Bell & Sons: London, 1905, pp. 95-99:

John Wycliffe, of Thorpe, in com. Ebor., died in his father's lifetime, (?) admon. May 8, 1620; Married Margaret, daugher of Henry Dethick, of Gretham (Hospital), in the Bisshoprick of Durham, baptized at Greatham February 12, 1594 (Surtees' Durham, iii, 87).

I can't tell who was baptized in 1594 - John or his wife. My guess is that it was John, but the information is not clear.

Marshall Plantagenet, in The History of Yorkshire: Wapentake of West Gilling in the genealogy of the Wycliffes at Gayles (p. 157), says, "John Wycliffe of Gayles, to whom his father gave that manor by deed dated 12th November, 17 Jas. I.; ob. 18 Jas. I." The 17th year of James I would be about 1619.
