There is eveidence that John's wife, Joan, was the daughter of an
Oundle mercer, Richard Olyff, as a legacy from Olyff was the
subject of a dispute.

When John Dillingham, yeoman, prepared his last will and
testament, ("being whole in mind and sick in body"), on the 19th
August 1540, he made bequests to his 8 sons, Thomas, William,
John, Henry, Walter, Robert, Richard and Humphrey, and daughter
Alice, in addition to "the child that my wife is great with."
(This turned out to be his second daughter, Agnes.)

At present, all but three of the known U.K. Dillingham lines can
be traced directly to John and Joan.
