Notes for Agnes Wroth
On the 3rd Dec 2002, Michael Andrews-reading wrote:

“The initial generations of the Wroths of Enfield are somewhat difficult
to ascertain, due to conflicting details in various published sources
and an apparent succession of John Wroths.

“Roskell et al give what seems to be a good general summary (HoP
1386-1421 Vol IV sub Wroth) but I am not convinced that this is without
error.  That summary is as follows, together with my additions and
comments as appropriate:

“1. John Wroth, the first of "six successive generations, father and
son, each named John Wroth"; merchant and customs collector of the Port
of London - but see his son's holding this position, infra; one of this
name apparently Knight of the Shire for Middlesex in the Parliament of
December 1332 [PRO C/219/330/15]; Father of:

“2. Alderman John Wroth, fishmonger and citizen of London; sheriff of
London, 1351 [e.g. PRO E40/1633]; collector of customs of the Port of
London by 1359 [Cal. Pat. Rolls, 29.8.1359]; Mayor, 1360-1361; resigned
as Alderman in 1376, due to old age; said to have married Margaret
Enfield and thus acquired estates in Enfield, Middlesex.  Father of:

“3. John Wroth 'the younger'; MP; JP for Middlesex; o.v.p. 1375; married
firstly; married secondly Maud, daughter and heir of Thomas Durant (she
married secondly Sir Baldwin de Raddington, MP).  Issue by both
marriages:

“4a. John Wroth, son of his father's first marriage; of Enfield and of
Downton, Wilts; MP for Middlesex, 1382, 1384; for Wiltshire, 1390; JP
for Middlesex from 1377; died 1396; married Margaret, heiress of the
Buckland family of Downton, Wilts, and Over & Nether Wallop and
Brookley, Hants.  Issue:

“5a. Sir John Wroth, born circa 1366; MP for Middlesex, 1397, 1401,
1404, 1406; JP for Middlesex; died 1407; will proved PCC [Prob 11/2A,
1408]; married Margaret Wellington, and had issue: John, his son and
heir, two further sons, and Elizabeth, wife of Sir William Palton, MP -
all of whom were dead s.p. by 1413

“5b. Robert Wroth, d.s.p.

“5c. Richard Wroth, d.s.p.

“5d. Agnes Wroth, married Sir Payn Tiptoft, MP.  Issue: Sir John
Tiptoft, eventual heir to the Wroth estates.

“5e. (daughter)

“5f. (daughter)

“4b. William Wroth, son of his father's second marriage; MP for
Middlesex, 1404; died 1408; married and left issue, from whom the later
Wroths of Enfield traced their descent.”
