GOSLYN, Richard (d.1428), of London.

Family and Education
m. (1) Rose, prob. 1s.; (2) by Mar. 1414, Beatrice, da. of Thomas Knolles, 5s. 2da.Corporation of London RO, hr 161/57; Cal. P. and M. London, 1413-37, pp. 230-1. Goslyn made provision for four sons and two daughters in his will, but he had at least two more sons, one of whom was born after his death. The other, known as John Goslyn the elder, appears to have been the child of his first marriage and is not mentioned in either of his two wills. He had himself married by Sept. 1422, when he became heir to most of his father’s property in Essex, but he died before April 1455, evidently without issue. It was then that John Goslyn the younger, the MP’s eldest son by his second wife, Beatrice Knolles, conveyed the reversion of the land to his own feoffees (CCR, 1441-7, p. 299; 1447-54, p. 139; Cal. Letter Bk. London, K, 129-30; Guildhall Lib. London, 9171/3, ff. 205-11).
