Notes for: Adam de Wycliffe

The name of this Wycliffe comes from a Wycliffe pedigree in The History of Yorkshire; Wapentake of Gilling West, by Marshall General Plantagenet Harrison (1885). I don't know where Harrison got this information. I can only assume it is guesswork on his part from looking at old records. Harrison's pedigree seems to be the only one that goes back this far; so I will go with it for now.

About this Adam, the pedigree says "Adam de Wycliffe of Barton-upon-Tees, held lands of Hugh Grethead 33 (?) Edward I [abt 1305]. Plaintiff in a plea of aquitted of services claimed by the Abbot of St. Agatha against him, 33 Edward I [abt 1305]." No wife is listed.
