About Sir John Donne, of York Castle

3rd son

Date and place of birth have also been (erroneously?) reported to be circa 1450 at London, Middlesex, England.

Stirnet's "Temp33" page (link below) does not mention this Sir John's marriage to Agnes Breten, or their descendancy. It should also be noted that Sir John's recorded wife, Elizabeth Hastings, died after him, and there is no record of them having divorced -- which suggests that a different John Donne married Agnes.

notes

  • of Horsenden, Bucks? (see Sir John Donne of Yourks Castel, and Horsenden)
  • but his son Angel was to be said have been born in Devon
