Biography

The Munday pedigree in the 1620 Cornwall Visitation shows that John Munday, younger brother of Thomas Munday, Prior of Bodmin, married Joan, daughter of "J. Man."^[1]

It is widely stated that John and his brother Thomas, last Prior of Bodmin,, were sons of John Munday (ca. 1460 - 1537 (Lord Mayor of London 1522-23) and his wife Julian(a) Browne (ca. 1496-1537), but they cannot have been young enough for this (JM/JB's eldest son Vincent was born ca. 1510). Relevant sources are the wills of JM and JB of 1537, and various accounts of how Thomas Munday became Prior of Bodmin in 1534, and arranged to lease some of its properties in 1537. --- Not sure the above statement is correct The National Archives state that this John Mundy is the son of Lord Mayor John Mundy.and if anyone is right it would be them. --- But that's NOT what the will of the Lord Mayor John Munday in the National Archives says. All it confirms is that he and his wife Julian had sons Thomas and John. But these sons must have been born after 1510 and so it is virtualy impossible that they are the same as the brothers Thomas, last Prior of Bodmin, and John Munday of Rialton. That is a much later claim. The earliest reference to any connection that I know of is the 1620 Visitation of Cornwall, which just describes John M of Rialton as "a younger brother of the family of Munday in the county of Derby". SOmeone later has jumped to the conculsion that that means a younger brother of Vincent Munday of Markeaton (b ca. 1510), but that's just not possible.

Potential clue: The Visitation of London (1633-35) shows a "Francis Man of Lyn descended from ye Mans of Clapton near North Walsham, com. Norfolk."
