• Notes

  Notes: assuming that surname, wrote himself 'Willielmus De Sancto Johanne filius et h¹res Ad De Port', and in the 15th John [1214-15], gave 500 marks to the King for livery of all the lands of Adam De Port, his father. The two following years he executed the sheriff's office for the co. Southampton, but was subsequently in arms with the other barons against the crown, and did not return to his allegiance until some time after the accession of Henry III. He made his peace, however, effectually, for we find him in the 11th of that King [1227] appointed governor of the islands of Guernsey and Jersey. He m. Godchild, dau. of N. Paganell, and was s. by his son, Robert De St. John.
