WOLFFE, John (d.1483), of Kentisbury, Devon.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
?s. of John Wolffe of Kentisbury. The Wolffe pedigree becomes confused around 1400. Richard Wolffe, gds. of the MP of 1337, died aged 23 in 1369, leaving as his heir his five-year-old son Richard. By 1409 the family lands were in the hands of a John Wolffe, who that year presented an incumbent to the family church of Kentisbury. This John, who was apparently dead by Jan. 1414 when his widow, Beatrice, had licence to marry Simon Carslegh of Lustleigh, may have been the MP’s father. CIPM, xiv. 153; Reg. Grandisson ed. Hingeston-Randolph, ii. 1303, 1319, 1325, 1451; Reg. Stafford ed. Hingeston-Randolph, 53, 181. m. by Nov. 1456, Joan, 1s. CCR, 1454-61, p. 175; C141/1/12.

Although Wolffe’s successor as dep. butler was not appointed until July 1461, it may be assumed that his commission ceased with the replacement of the earl of Shrewsbury by Lord Wenlock* as chief butler in Nov. 1460.
