John Wynyard, Esq., son of George Wynyard, Gent., died at Hampton Court, Middlesex, England, 20 January 1605/6.1,2
John married Susanah Stonehouse, daughter of George Stonehouse and Elizabeth Gibson, at St Giles Cripplegate, London, England, 6 December 1574.1,3
Groom of the Wardrobe to Queen Elizabeth and James I, John is mentioned twice in King James' "Discourse of Powder-Treason:" The lord chamberlain, accompanied by Lord Monteagle, "having viewed all the lower rooms, he found , in the vault, under the upper house, great store and provision of billets, faggots, and coals; and enquireing of Whyneard, keeper of the Wardrobe, to what use he had put those lower rooms, & cellars? He told him, that Thomas Percy had hired both the house, and part of the cellar, or vault, under the same; and the wood and coal therein were the said gentleman's own provision."
The King "detested to be thought suspicious or jealous of any of his good subjects" and Thomas Percy was thought to be one of those, "being his kinsman and most confident familiar." To avoid unjustly casting suspicion on Percy and others should he or they be innocent of the suspicions, the King and his counselors "concluded that nothing should be left unsearched in those houses; and yet, for the better colour and stay of rumour, in case nothing were found, it was thought meet, that, upon a [false] pretence of Whyneard's missing some of the King's stuffe, or hangings, which he had in keeping, all those rooms should be narrowly ripped for them."
The search did in fact find 36 barrels of gun powder.4,5
