HEYNES, John, of Baconsthorpe, Norf.

It has proved impossible certainly to identify Heynes, who appears not to have had any connexion with Wycombe either before or after 1449. John Welsbourne II*, his fellow MP for the borough, was a member of the royal Household, and it may well be that Heynes was another King’s man, perhaps the John Hayne who served as a yeoman of the chamber in the late 1440s. VCH Bucks. ii. 164. There is no way of knowing whether the John Heynes, a recalcitrant feoffee whom Richard Quatermayns* sued in the Chancery in the late 1440s and early 1450s, was the MP: C1/19/416.
