John Clinton, 6th Baron Clinton of Marstoke

John Clinton was born about 1429. He was the son of John de Clinton, 5th Baron Clinton (1410–1464) and Joan Ferrers.

In 1471 his titles, of barons Clinton and Say, were recognised after he had succeeded to them 24 September 1464, however he was never called to Parliament under either title. He died on 29 February 1488. He was buried at Grey Friars, London.

His wife was Elizabeth Fiennes, Lady Clinton (born c.1455), daughter of Sir Richard Fiennes, 7th Baron Dacre and Joan Dacre, 7th Baroness Dacre, whom he married in about 1463 at Herstmonceux, Sussex.

They had one son, John Clinton, 7th Baron Clinton, born in 1471 in Folkestone, Kent, who died on 4 June 1514.

He is seen as married second to Anne Stafford [seen as daughter of Sir Humphrey Stafford, Earl of Stafford and Margaret Beaufort]. She survived him and married Richard Willoughby second. No issue.
