  1. 1.  John ROBYJohn ROBY was born in 1455 in , , , England; died in Dec 1515 in Castle Donington, Leicestershire, ENG.

    Notes:

    The earliest known Roby born at Donington Castle (prounounced Dunington) was Robert Roby in 1261. His son Robert was born their in 1290 and buried in the vault under the church in Castle Donington in 1317. The next verified occurrence of Roby's in the Castle is in 1402. It is assumed they are related to this John, but how is not known. Records that might connect them are in old latin in church books in the possession of the church vicar. They date back previous to the mid 1200's, but alas would be a small fortune to translate. Castle Donington is actually a small town on a hill above the Trent River abut 9 miles southwest of the town of Derby in Co. Leicestershire, England. A very old church built circa 1200 with a large steeple is on the grounds of the castle. It was likely built upon the foundation of an earlier church that existed in 1133. (C-2131) The current prominent Robey researcher is William G. Robey, Jr. He has an excellent site on the Internet entitled "Robey/Robie/Roby family line from early England to America" that should be consulted for the most up-to-date information on this family surname.
