This John Saxby is connected to Scrope parents and all the info in his bio is about John Scrope from Wikipedia, not John Saxby.. I'm not seeing anything indicating they're the same person, which if they aren't means his ancestry is wrong here on Geni.

I Googled and while I haven't yet found the surname explanation, this site shows Joan FItzHugh married to John Scrope but with their children using both the Saxby and Scrope surnames.

Henry Scrope's Wikipedia page only lists these children:

Scrope married, around 1435, Elizabeth Scrope (his fifth cousin), who was a daughter of John Scrope, 4th Baron Scrope of Masham. Scrope died on 14 January 1459; his widow survived him until at least 1498.[1] Their children included:

John Scrope, 5th Baron Scrope of Bolton
Richard Scrope of Bentley (d. 1485), who married Eleanor Washbourne of Wichenford, and had nine daughters.[10]
Margaret Scrope (d.1496), who married John Bernard, Lord of the Manor of Abington, Northamptonshire.

Their son John is linked to this Wikipedia page and he's not listed as John Saxby:

I'm looking for primary sourced documentation of the parentage of John Saxby, as he appears to be an ancestor for me.
