- Will of Sir John Seynt John or Saynt John of Bletsoe, Bedfordshire 23 May 1525 PROB 11/21
Possibility??
In 'Testamenta Vetusta' Nicolas, London 1826, there is the following
transcription of the will of Sir John St.John:
'John St.John, of the parish of Bletnesho, Knight, 22nd March 1524. My body to be buried in the Chapel of St. Edmund, in the north side of the church of our Lady St.Mary of Bletnesho aforesaid. To Oliver, my son, all my lands in Sharnebrok, Milton, and Risley, in Bedfordshire; to Alexander, my son, my lands about Bedford. And I constitute John St.John, Sir William Gasken, Knt. and Oliver and Alexander St.John, my sons, my executors; and my Lord Morley, my supervisor.'
There is a footnote that identifies the testator as 'Grandfather of
Oliver first Baron St.John of Bletsho. He was Knight of the Bath 17
Henry VII.' Another footnote identifies Lord Morley as 'His son-in-law, having married his eldest daughter Alice.'
. Sir John St. John, Knight of the Bath, of Bletsoe, Bedfordshire, was
probably born by 1460 (certainly several years earlier than 1475). He married Sybil, daughter of Rhys ap Morgan ap Jenkin. (I have to check Bartrum again, as I think he said Sir John married Margared v. Morgan ap Jenkin. Morgan ap Jenkin had married [2] Margared, daughter of Sir David Mathew of Llandaf Court [above].)
Sir John St. John died in 1525, leaving a will proved in the PCC. His
inquisition post mortem found that his son and heir, John, was aged 30 and more. A daughter Alice had married, before 1505, Henry Parker, Lord Morley. As their son and heir Henry Parker was a page of the Chamber to Henry VIII in 1516, Alice was clearly several years older than her brother John (b. 1495), which pushes her parent's marriage date back before 1485. This is important as it eliminates any possiblity of an extra generation between the Sir John St. John who was son of Margaret Beauchamp and Sir John who died in 1525.
