• Notes

  Also called John Palgrave. One of the trustees of William Paston (1378-1444), the senior William Paston of the Paston Letters. He is named several times in Paston's will, dated 31 Jan 1444. "On 19 May 1448 Margaret Paston mentions him in a letter to her husband, John, as having gone with him to the Prior of Norwich regarding an assault committed by one Wymondham on Sir James Gloys, a friend of the Pastons. On 23 April 1452, he was one of the Norfolk gentlemen who addressed the Sheriff of Norfolk regarding a memorial sent to the Duke of Norfolk concerning the assaults and riots committed by Charles Nowell upon John Paston and 'others of owre kynne, frendes, and neyghborys'. On 16 May 1455, Thomas Canon the elder of Pagrave Magna, wrote to John Paston offering to sell land in Pagrave Pava and Lytyldenham, called 'Strangys' on condition he 'keep it counsel' from John Pagrave until they have agreed." [G. Andrews Moriarty, citation details below.] The Paston Letters: A Selection in Modern Spelling ed. Norman Davis (Oxford University Press) conflates this John Palgrave with his son, saying (footnote 3, page 11) that the John Palgrave who was "a friend of the Paston family and one of William [Paston]'s trustees" married Margaret Yelverton, daughter of the judge William Yelverton. This is not chronologically plausible. This John Paston's son, born around 1445, is the one who married Margaret, who lived to 1513.
