• John Twynyho

    From Loren Varga@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 14 10:17:47 2022
    Dear Group:
    I am trying to determine the correct parentage of John Twynyho MP died @1475-1485. He was married to a Joan Corbett.

    I have seen him listed as a son of William Twynyho and Ankaret Hawkeston.

    However I have also read that the William listed as his father was his brother married to Ankaret.

    Thanks in advance for any clarification!

    Regards:
    Loren

    In the Visitation of Gloucester there are two John Twynyhos. John Twynyho of Cirencester and Bristol (the MP) is the brother of William Twynyho (married to Ankaret Hawkston). William and Ankaret had a son, John Twynyho of Kayford.

    I have the John Twynyho, MP (d. 1485) married to Agnes and Eleanor Tailboys. I do not have Joan Corbet as a wife. I have his father as John and his mother as Joan de Cobyndon. I have his daughter Alice married to John Tame. I do not have specific
    refences in my tree software, but will check my "manual" files. My notes on William and Ankaret show her as executed without trial or reason by George Duke of Clarence and that her heir was Roger son of their son John. Two different Johns.
    Not much to add from my notes other than quoting a number of deeds etc that support a John married to Agnes in the right time and place to be the mp. I also noted some doubt if the MP's daughter or sister married John Tame. Finally, the John who married
    Joan Corbet seems to be the son of William and Ankaret and father of Roger, not the MP.

    According to the Visitation of Gloucester, cited above, as well as the Visitation of Somerset, which contains mostly the same information, the father of John Twynyho of Cirencester was William.

    Thanks. My tree had an error. Consistent with the visitations, my notes but not the tree, have John's parents as William and Joan de Cobyndon (Cobington). I believe the William who married Ankaret was John the MPs older brother. Consistent with the
    visitation is a petition to Parliament filed by Roger Twynyho outlining his descent from Willaim and Ankeret, through their son John (this is the nephew of John the MP/recorder of Bristol). Not much help but my notes refer to two memoranda of
    acknowledgement around 1472-74 that appeared to link John the husband of Agnes with John the Recorder of Bristol, which I think identifies him as the MP, supporting a marriage to Agnes. I think the answer to the initial question is John Tynyho the
    Recorder of Bristol and MP was the son of William Tynyho and Joan {?} Cobyndon, not William Tynyho and Ankaret.

    The Visitations have only blank spaces for the parents of William and John, but I think I can rectify that.

    In 1448 in Common Pleas, there is this defendant:
    William Twynyho, son and heir of John Twynyho, of Cayford, Soms, gent
    second entry: http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT1/H6/CP40no748/bCP40no748dorses/IMG_1145.htm

    Cayford or Keyford is in Frome, Somerset. Earlier there is a will of William Twynyho of Frome in 1412. (Weaver's Somerset Medieval Wills 1383-1500) He mentions his wife Alice and son John.
    https://archive.org/details/somersetpub16someuoft/page/58/mode/2up

    So I think those two blank spaces can be filled in with William and John.

    Yes. With dates something like this:
    William Twynyho, of Frome, 1360-1412, married Alice (will)
    John Twynyho, of Cayford, Frome, and of Bristol, 1390-1444, married Joan (co-executrix of John's will, together with William)
    William Twynyho, of Cayford, 1415-, married - Codrington (visitation and Common Pleas)
    William Twynyho, of Cayford, 1440-, married Ankeret Hawkeston

    I found something in Discovery that may call for a rethink:

    1441 Deed of entail: Henry Bradeleygh, Jas.Craas and Rich. Osbarne to William Twynyho (son of John T.) and wife Ankarete: all lands, etc. in Frome Braunche, Little Cayvere and Tuddryngton in the hundred of Frome. 10 Sep. 20 Hen.VI
    https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/357f0a97-0e6c-42a5-b26a-47a607ca8600

    If William Twynyho was already married to Ankaret in 1441, then that might mean that there is one too many Williams, and Codrington/Cobington has to be moved elsewhere.

    Something like this:
    William Twynyho, of Frome, 1360-1412, married Alice (William's will)
    John Twynyho, of Cayford, Frome, and of Bristol, 1390-1444, married Joan (co-executrix of John's will, together with William)
    William Twynyho, of Cayford, born about 1420, son of John (Common Pleas and TNA Discovery), Ankeret Hawkeston. John Twynyho the MP is his younger brother, born about 1430-40. In his will of 1485, John Twynyho of Cirencester mentions wife Eleanor, nieces
    Martha, Edith Lynde, nephews John, William, and daughter Dorothy, which mostly matches the Visitation of Somerset.

    Another bit of evidence.
    There's a will of Roger Twynyho, of Frome Selwood, 1497. In it he makes his brother George his executor.
    https://archive.org/details/somersetpub16someuoft/page/352/mode/2up?view=theater

    Roger and George must be two of the sons of John, as shown in the visitation of Somerset.
    https://archive.org/details/visitationsofcou00beno/page/132/mode/2up?view=theater

    Roger and George can't have been born much after 1475 (George couldn't be sole executor until age 21).

    That would mean that John their father couldn't have been born much after 1450.

    Which doesn't leave much time between the birth of William (husband of Ankaret) in about 1420, and the birth of John in about 1450. No room for an extra generation.

    So maybe the intervening William is extraneous?

    Yes, and Joan, wife of John, may plausibly have been the daughter of Richard de Cobyndon. See https://books.google.com/books?id=oezgAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA309 and the following page.

    Not sure but maybe I should un-correct the tree where I made John's father William instead of John.

    One more piece of evidence, from Patent Rolls https://archive.org/details/calendarpatentr12offigoog/page/72/mode/2up?view=theater

    This is a petition in 1478 by Roger Twynyho, son of John, son of William Twynyho and Ankarette his wife, for the
    king to vacate the conviction of Ankarette Twynyho, who was judicially murdered by the Duke of Clarence.

    So that would push the birthdates of Roger and his brother George back a bit more. Something like this:
    William b 1360-1412
    John b 1390-1444
    William b 1420-1477 and John (MP) b 1430-1485
    John of Cayford b 1440-
    Roger b 1460-1497 and George b 1470-1525

    I had not had this earlier marriage for Jane Corbet.
    Her mother here called just Elizabeth was a Hopton heiress
    Not from her father Thomas as sometimes stated, but from her brother Sir Walter Hopton was d 1461 (IPM 1E4 42; d.s.p.; heir was his sister Elizabeth)

    At that time Elizabeth was Heiress "aged 34" of her brother Walter 1461

    Thomas /Cressett/ of Upton Cressett, Shropshire; esq
    Will dated 20 Aug 1520, probate Apr 1524

    They had at least four children

    That we see that she could have married Cressett earlier than 1466.

    Ankaret died by hanging, being accused of murder by poisoning, was pardoned in 1478 (after her death) due to the action of her grandson Roger, son of her son John then dead

    I was thinking that Hawkeston was settled on John Twynho and Jane Corbet because they had just married
    However that cannot be the case, if John's son Roger was old enough in 1478 to be requesting a pardon for his grandmother

    I can't vouch for Joan Corbett. She was already there as the wife of John Twynyho the MP and I didn't remove her. John the MP's wife at the time of his death was Eleanor. Jan Wolfe has Joan Corbett married to John the MP's nephew, John the son of William.

    Where we see that evidently John Twynho was dead by 1442, and his son and heir William was already an adult since he lease out the property that year.

    You said "she was already there"
    She was were?
    There is another data point here https://www.google.com/books/edition/Notes_Queries_for_Somerset_and_Dorset/TcY4AQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=twynho+of+keyford&pg=PA309&printsec=frontcover

    Where we see that evidently John Twynho was dead by 1442, and his son and heir William was already an adult since he lease out the property that year.

    Gives this Roger Twynho, presumably the same one who petitioned for his grandmother's post mortem pardon as the eldest son and that he was Slain at Blackheath which took place in 1497.

    Presumably s.p. as it was George the third son and his heirs who inherited as shown.

    For Roger to be old enough for all of this, I suggest that when Jane Corbet married John Twynho, he was her *first* husband, not second.
    He was dead by Oct 1475 (so between 1465 and 1475) and she *then* married Thomas Cressett by whom four more children

    I presume she would hold Hawkeston if not also Keyford as her dower so perhaps searching for property records on those might yield something

    At any rate, we now have the original source for why Brice Claggett stated that they were married 1465 even though he thought this was her second marriage.

    It would not make sense to call her, in this entry, the daughter of Roger and Elizabeth in that case, it would have made more sense to call her the widow of Thomas Cressett, but this source does not state that.

    One thing I wondered about. It says in the Visitation that Roger was slain at Blackheath, presumably as part of the Cornish rebellion. But there is a will of Roger Twynyho in 1497 (cited in his profile). Did he write his will before joining the rebellion?
    Often people wrote wills before going off to war, but I'd think joining a rebellion would be more spur of the moment.

    This will was published by the Somerset Record Society in their 1887 volume

    It's interesting that his godson is named John, clearly the son of George, but this John is not listed as a son to George in the Visitation cited earlier
    I think it's possible or probable that this John was an eldest son of George and died a minor
