- John's parents in CD-102, were listed as Edward and Ann Sutton Bagley instead. John, age 27, Roland Bingham, Richard Bagly and John Baker, yeoman, were indicted for assaulting Lawrence White in Dudley. An arrest warrent/writ dated, 1599 was sent to the sheriff to arrest the men listed in the first indictment above, plus others. A second arrest was issued on Jan. 13, 1601. Nothing further on these arrests are in the court documents. In a different court testimony in 1631, John stated that he had lived at Old Park, Sedgely, from 1603 where he kept deer for Lord Dudley. In 1611, Lord Dudley granted him, his head deerkeeper, the ancient lodge and land in Old Park for his living quarters. By 1620, John was listed as Gentleman, age 46, in a list of Chancery depositions. The 1631 court case revolved around a suit by Walter Devereux against Lord Dudley for a large sum of debt. John Bagley was included in the efforts of Lord Dudley to defeat Devereux's claim for payment. John testified that he had lived at Old Park for 28 years. Being thrown out would leave him without livelihood. His wife was dead by the time of these proceedings. The court apparently allowed him to stay at Old Park.
By a 1637/8 court case that John brought against Thomas Russell and others, John was again only listed as a yeoman. John was appointed to administer the will of his brother George Bagley on Mar. 27, 1647. In June of 1647, John Bagley, yeoman
, stated in court that Lord Dudley granted him a thousand year lease in Sedgley three years before.
His own will is dated 1648. "Catalogue Reference: Prob 11/205 Image Reference: 269/218The following is a transcript of the Will of John Bagley of Dudley, Worcestershire.
