• Notes

  Early Life Dugdale1 reports that John was 9 years old at his grandfather's Inquisition PM (the inquisition of his grandfather, Robert, was held in 1489), meaning that John Portington was born c. 1480. He was the son of Thomas Portington and Margaret Kiddall Family Life Dugdale1 reports he married Mary, daughter of John Copley. Ducatus2 says he married Cecily, daughter of Thomas Copley. This latter is also given in Pedigrees3 though I often find mistakes in this source. Dugdale is at least internally consistent, as his own Copley pedigree also has Mary daughter of John. The Visitation4 shows Mary Copley, daughter of John Copley and Agnes Pygot, marrying Thomas Portington Footnotes [1] Dugdale's Visitation of Yorkshire, With Additions, ed. JW Clay, Exeter (1899); Portington of Barnby-super-Don, Vol. 2, page 422 Dugdale also has a Copley pedigree on page 154, showing Mary, daughter to John, marrying "John or Thomas Portington" [2] Ducatus Leodiensis: or, the Topography of the Ancient and Populous Town and Parish of Leeds, Ralph Thoresby, London (1715); Portington, page 100 Ducatus also has a Copley pedigree (page 9) but I don't find Mary daughter of John.
