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, of Thorpe, Esquire, oldest son and heir, Gent. of the horse to George, Duke of Buckingham 1665 (it does say horse and not house). Married Mary, daughter of Robert Talbot, of Worvill, in Com. Salop.

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 co. Ebor., aet 50 an. September 13, 1665.

I don't know if this means that he died at age 50 on Septemberr 13, 1665, but that would be my guess.

Marshall Plantagenet's The History of Yorkshire: Wapentake of Gilling West, in the genealogy of the Wycliffes at Gayles (p. 157), says this:

John Wycliffe of Gayles, son and heir, aged four years at his father's death, 18 Jas. I. Wardship and marriage sold to Giles Burton for 100 marks, 30th June, 1634. Defendant in a suit in chancery on the complaint of Lancelot Lake of Cannons, co. Middlesex, and Solomon Swale of Gray's Inn, co. Middlesex, Esqs.; who say that the said John Wycliffe and Mary his wife sold them divers lands in Wycliffe for the benefit of Mary, wife of John Ingelby, Esq., of Lakeland, co. York, and Arthur Ingelby of the same place, for L2320, and that they could not sell the same, as the said John Wycliffe was only a tenant for life, and they pray that he may be compelled to make good his contract. Bill dated 1st March, 1647. Gentelman of the Horse to George Duke of Buckingham in 1665; then aged fifty years. He married Mary, dau. of Robert Talbot of Worvill, co. Salop; a widow 1683.

There is a John Wycliffe who was buried in Whitechapel, Middlesex Co., England on Sep. 1, 1665. That could very well be this John Wycliffe.
