1365
Perhaps he was born in about 1365. If he
was 19 at the time of the first event.
There
appears to have been a significant cattle and horse rustling expedition in 1384
involving John Farndale.
Calendar of Patent Rolls,1381-1385, 8 Richard III Part I page 507 and 508:
On 10 Dec 1384, At Westminster. Commission of Oyer and Terminer. John
Farndale and others broke their close, houses and hedges at Wittonstalle and Fayrhils,
Co Northumberland and seized 30 horses, 20 mares, 100 oxen and 100 cowes valued at £200 and carried them off with goods
and chattels, assaulted his men, servants and tenants and so threatened them
that they left his service. For 13s 4d paid the hanaper.

Palmer and Sheriff of Salop to enquire touching dilapidations and waste in
alien Priory of Abberbury, otherwise called New Abbey
(Nova Abbia) by Abberbury by Geoffrey Stafford, Canon

This was probably Johns father.

.
Lawrence Hoggeson of Farndale and John Farndale of
Stillyngton Co Durham, wright, to answer Thomas
Bishop of Durham touching trespass.
Although the
details fit this John he might have been 80 years old,
so this last record may have been someone else.
1450
If he lived to 1450, and all the above
entries are indeed the same John Farndale, he would have lived to 85.
