1. | Sir John DE DIGBIE, Knight was born in 1262 in Of Tilton, Leicestershire, ENG; died in 1305. Notes:
John is the eldest son of Sir John de Digby and Arabella Harcourt. He has the title Knight in the original Digby family records. Annie Coppock Kransdorf interprets his "disk" on the Digby Manuscript to be "John de Digbie, Knighte, married Jane Wake and had issue in the 20th yeere of Edward 3, 1345(6?)." She states that the 20th year is an error, it would have been the 18th year of Edward III's reign. This does not fit with the likely birthdates of the children. (C-1441, 2267) It should be noted that Burke's "A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, V. 4" says that this John married to Elizabeth Osville is the son of Robert de Digeby and Sibella, grandson of John de Digeby and great grandson of Sir John de Digeby and Arabella Haracourt instead. Burke's work was based upon the extensive 1634 genealogy done of the Digeby family.
