Biography

Joan (or Jane) Neville^[1] Joan Neville was the daughter and sole heiress of John Neville of Oversley and Wem, by his first wife, Elizabeth Newmarch.

The lucky husband was to be Sir William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe, and this marriage set the Gascoignes on the road to wealth and an earldom (though they were called Wentworth by then).

Jane and Sir William had three sons:

• Sir William, heir
• John
• Humphrey (visitation says died as boy)^[2]

and four daughters:

• Margaret, wife of Sir Christopher Warde
• Agnes, wife of Sir Robert Plumpton
• Elizabeth
• Joan

Sir William was living on 15 Jul 1461 but dead by 13 Jan 1463/4, when his widow obtained a licence to marry the ill-starred Sir James Harington of Brierley. She and James had three sons (John, Thomas, and William), but the heir of James was his illegitimate son.^[3]

Magna Carta Project

Jane (Neville) Harington appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Anne Mauleverer to Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod (vol II pp. 244-246 GASCOIGNE). This trail has not yet been developed by the Magna Carta project and can be viewed in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile, under other trails.

• Needs Development: This profile needs to be developed against the project's checklist to bring it up to current project standards. ~ Hess-2099 16:19, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
• Needs Source Check: The biography needs footnotes & the Richardson citations need to be updated. ~ Noland-165 16:12, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
