  Noted events in his life were:

• source. Kerry Gamble (nee Botten)

• fact. JOHN NANS was Vicar of Maneccan church in 1385, Maneccan Parish, Menengue(Meneage), Cornwall. His son Robert Nans went to court to prevent the then Vicar of Mannecan from seizing Nans, Trewince and Martania in St. Martin Parish in Menenge. It would appear that these were lands passed to Robert as heir by law and he had been living at Nans for many years, yet the church was claiming these three places as church property. Apparently, Robert at least won this suit in part, as in 1462 his son Lawerence held Trewince and was still its owner in 1503.

• Marriage. He was married in 1380c to Unknown at Meneage, Cornwall England

John married.
