Was John Hampden the Patriot also known as Sir John Hampden of The Hill?
No they were two separate people. Sir John Hampden (died 1553 ) lived at Great Hampden in Buckinghamshire and is buried there. He fathered three daughters but no sons. In his will he bequeathed the bulk of his estate to a distant relative, also called John Hampden, who became the great grandfather of John Hampden MP “The Patriot”.
