John Dyneley ( - 1712 or 1714)
There is a letter from Thoresby dated 21 March 1706 from John Dyneley regarding, he says, his "pedigree ... a thing I am very defective in" (Lancaster, 137). Lancaster glosses thus: "Mr. John Dyneley of Bramhope. His ancestor purchased that manor temp. Hen. VIII, and it continued in the Dyneley family until last century. John Dyneley married a daughter of the celebrated Dr. George Walker, the hero of Londonderry. He died 1714" (137, n. 2). Thoresby identifies Walker's daughter as Charity and has 1712 as Dyneley's year of death and identifes him as Justice of the Peace (Ducatus, 34). This is probably the John Dyneley identified by Thoresby among the benefactors of his museum (551).In a diary entry for 31 August 1702, Thoresby describes a long day of rambling through the villages and estates northwest of Leeds, including "Bramhope, [home] of John Dyneley, Esq. whose famous grandfather built and endowed the chapel there" (Hunter, 1: 382). Here Thoresby misidentifies John Dyneley's grandfather as John, when it was in fact John's brother Robert (d. 11 Nov. 1688) (See Ducatus, 34). Relevant locations: Lived at or near Bramhope
