Family John WOTTON, b. Abt 1522, d. Aft 1578 (Age ~ 57 years) Married Bef 1544 - John's wife's name and date ('by 1544') from John's page on the History of Parliament website.
The first 7 names I show here as their children are from the will of William, John's father; writing in May 1554 he names these 7 as John's children, including eldest son William and younger son William [sic - not youngest - what does this mean? youngest of all sons, or just younger of the 2 Williams?]. I am guessing younger did mean youngest in placing him last on the list. I do think he must have been born after his brother Walter, as Walter appears to have been ahead of him in inheriting Engleborne.
Apart from that, the order is as they are mentioned in the will (i.e. sons first, probably not birth order!).
The History of Parliament entry for John mentions 5 sons and 3 daughters, if accurate it would appear a son is missing from the will, I guess because he was born after it was written. That fits with the Arthur shown in the 1620 Devon visitation record.
Other documents mention others:
Anne - The visitation of Devon of 1564 shows an 'Anne, d. of John Wootton of Inglebury' married Andrew Holland of Weare [ no date given but a nephew of Andrew is shown as b. 14 Mar 1576 ]
In Colby's book of the 1620 visitation it was shown that:
'Andrew Holland of Weare co. Devon = Anne d. of John Wootton of Bugleborne'(!)
A daughter (name not given) married William Hakewill, possibly a cousin? Interesting grandsons. (see Devon Visitation 1620)
