Notes |
- The information on John's ancestry comes from Glenn Henke. The dates he gives for this family do not align with the information on the Digby family as researched and written up in the Digby family castle in the likely 1500 or 1600's. He is probably the John de Stockton, zonarius, who lived in the time of Edward II according to "A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames." Edward II reigned from 1307-1327. He might be the following John de Stockton. "Master John de Stockton was one of the familia of J. Bishop of Ely, who received letters of protection from Edward II for going overseas. Venn says he was fellow of Peterhouse in April 1 339." Source: Talbot, Charles H. and Eugene Ashby Hammond: "The Medical Practitioners in Medieval England: a Biographical Register".
