Notes for John Lybbe
Martin P-L writes:
John, father of Richard and John: see first paragraph
1476 John and RICHARD Lybbe mentioned in a grant. It looks as if these two are brothers and that John is the same one as mentioned in P, 1469, plus his father, also called John.
1488 Conveyance by John and Richard Lybbe, to Thomasia Tayle, of tenements (=houses) by running water called Le Fyslake. (Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Deeds, vol. iii, 336-7)
c. 1488 Abbey Survey shows that RICHARD owned many gardens and houses in Tavistock.
1497 RICHARD Portreve. (Worth's Calendar of Parish Records, p. 81) His Portreve account has survived - the only one to do so - among the Woburn Abbey Muniments, Table 4A, Drawer 1.
1500 John, RICHARD and RICHARD jun. are listed among feoffees accepting a gift of property to the parish.
1504 RICHARD dies. His will survives, proved at Lambeth Dec.12, 1504, ref. PCC Holgrave, 21. From it we know that his wife was called Johanna, his children RICHARD, John, William and Robert. He left a roll of cloth to each of his sons, the rest of his property to his wife; but he would already have made over most of his property to his sons. The will of the eldest, RICHARD, who died at Hardwick, showed possessions in Devon and Cornwall.
1515-16 John sues a number of others for defaulting on an agreement to pay a goldsmith for work in Tavistock parish church. John had paid, and they hadn't paid him back.

Might Thomasia have been a daughter of Richard?
