Sir John Neville, 6th Lord Latimer of Corby, was born at Raby Castle, near Staindrop, abt. 1382, to Sir John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby (who built the castle), and his second wife, Elizabeth Latimer, 5th Baroness Latimer. He had two sisters, Elizabeth and Margaret, and seven half-siblings (see his father's memorial for list).
His parents having died in his minority, John's marriage was assigned to Elizabeth, Lady Clifford in 1399. He married her and her husband, Thomas de Clifford's daughter, Maud, before 24 July 1406. However, their marriage ended in divorce, reportedly because he was impotent (see Maud's memorial). He did not re-marry.
John's sister Elizabeth married Sir Thomas Willoughby, the son of their mother's second husband, Sir Robert Willoughby, and his second wife, Margery le Zouche (his first wife was Alice Skipwith). Elizabeth and Sir Thomas had a son, John. Margaret died unmarried. Both Elizabeth and Margaret pre-deceased Lord Latimer.
John Neville was granted custody of the manors of Scramston and Terrington by Henry IV on Jul. 28, 1400, while still in his minority. He was later summoned to Parliament, as Lord Latimer (Latymer), from Aug. 25, 1404 to Nov. 27, 1430.
In his will, Sir John settled the greater part of his estate on his half brother, Sir Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland (and 4th Baron Neville de Raby). This was to the exclusion of his sister Elizabeth and her heir, her son, Sir John Willoughby, even though the estate and title derived from his and Elizabeth's mother, Lady Latimer. Ralph having already died (1425), the estate and title passed to his son, Sir George Neville. This created conflict between the families which was eventually settled with the creation of another, "Lord Latimer" title (both titles now lie unclaimed).
Sir John asked to be buried in St. Mary's Abbey, York, "where I have put my stone."

Note: St. Mary's Abbey was a Benedictine abbey established in the 11th Century. It became a ruin after the Dissolution in Henry VIII's reign, with much of its stonework used in the construction of other buildings and a boat landing. Its remains now lie on the grounds of the Yorkshire Museum Gardens, just to the west of York Minster. It should not be confused with St. Mary's Church.
