Walter Heron
m. Cecily de Insula (dau of John de Insula of Chipchase)
1. Roger Heron 'of Chipchase' (a 1394) brother of father of ...

  (1) John Heron of Chipchase, Sheriff of Northumberland (a 1491)
  m. Joan Ridley
Whilst 'Northumberland Families', which provides the continuity over earlier generations, suggests that the above John was father of the following John, we suspect that there is a generation missing here.
  (A) ?? Heron
  (i) John Heron of Chipchase (a 1536, d 1585)
  m. Margaret Musgrave (dau of Sir Edmund (Edward) Musgrave)
  (a) John Heron (a 1537)
John and his sister Margaret are shown by Visitation (Yorkshire, 1563-4, Musgrave) as the (only) children of Margaret Musgrave and an (unnamed) Heron of Chypchace (sic). Possibly following that Visitation, some web sites show this John as 'of Chipchase' and as having married (or partnered) Jane Ridley and had a son Nicholas of Tybenham (d 1608) who married a Margaret Mallowes and was progenitor of various families named Herne. If that is true then, as such is not mentioned in 'Northumberland Families', Nicholas may have been illegitimate. Alternatively, Visitation & those web sites may have identified the wrong John Heron.
