Biography

John was born in 1455.

His son John (born 1480) succeeded him in 1483.^[1]

Research Notes

Estimated Dates: Birth in 1455 is probably based on son's birth in 1480. His death in 1483 is based on information in his son's biography posted by the History of Parliament Online, which states that he (the son) succeeded his father in 1483.^[1] (Previously, the profile's Death Date datafield had 1545 - improbable, with birth in 1455.)

Warning-> Detached Profile: The change of death date triggered a warning: "A father's death date (Wogan-44 died 1483) should not be more than nine months before one of his children's birth dates (Wogan-43 born 1493). -> Wogan-43 was attached to the wrong parents. She was the daughter of Harry Wogan and Catrin ferch Dafydd Mathew. Her profile has been detached from this one. ~ 16 October 2023

Father-in-Law's Parents: Dwnn's Visitations of Wales and the Dictionary of Welsh Biography differ on who his wife's grandparents were.

From Dwnn: "Syr John Wgan, Knt." married Ann, the sole heir of "Syr Tomas Vychan [Vaughan] of Pwmffrett Kt", who was beheaded at Pomfret in 1483. Thomas was "the youngest illegitimate son of Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower by an illegitimate daughter of a Prior of the Monastery of Abergavenny, called Prior coch." Ann's brother was "Harry Vaughan, whose son, Sir Thomas rejected the name of Vaughan, and took that of Parry...."^[2]

From the Dictionary of Welsh Biography: John married Ann, the daughter of Thomas Vaughan and Eleanor Vaughan (née Arundel). "He was the son of Robert Vaughan of Monmouth and Margaret his wife. The assertion in History of Parliament (1439-1509) that he was the heir of Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower must be rejected."^[3]
