He died after 1422 at Altadale, Lezayre, Isle of Man. He held the office of Deemster in 1408. Owing to the disappearance of all early Manx records, this John McCrystyn is the earliest of whom a written record exists, when he is recorded in 1408 as a Deemster. An \"indenture\" is to be seen at the British Museum, signed by him as \"John McCrystyn, Justiciarius Insulae\". From the earliest records extant, the Christians held the Office of Deemster, an office of the greatest dignity and authority. In the ancient court rolls, the deemsters were styled \"Justiciarii Domini Regis\". They were not only the chief judges, but were also the Lords Privy Councillors, and their influence over the people resembled the civil authority of the ancient Druids. They alone knew, and were guardians of the unwritten laws, which only on important occasions were verbally divulged to the people. The Deemstership was hereditary in the Christian family, either by some decree of which all knowledge is lost, or because it was convenient for a son, as soon as old enough, to attend his father, the Deemster, at Courts, acting as his amanuensis and assistant, in order to be initiated into the duties, to learn the unwritten laws and customs, and to prepare himself for the serious and important office.", "source": "http://www.geni.com/people/John-McCrystyn/6000000023716293838 http://www.thepeerage.com/p15348.htm#i153471" }, "mother": { "name": "Unknown", "birthdate": "N/A", "deathdate": "N/A", "birthplace": "N/A", "deathplace": "N/A", "info": "N/A", "source": "N/A" } }, { "father": { "name": "William McCrystyn", "birthdate": "1388", "deathdate": "1448", "birthplace": "Isle of Man", "deathplace": "Lezayre, Isle of Man", "info": "He held the office of Member of the House of Keys (M.H.K.) between 1408 and 1448.

The pedigree states that Sir John Radcliffe, who was beheaded together with Sir William Stanley for rising in favour of Lambert Simnel 1497 -- left two sons, the second of whom, Thomas Radcliffe, was appointed Abbot of Rushen, through the influence of the Stanleys in 1532. He was party to the disolution of the monastery in 1537, accepting a quid pro quo in a lease or a grant of the property Knock-Aloe-Moar, near Peel in Patrick.

After the Restoration, Charles, the 8th Earl of Derby, had Illiam Dhone arrested and tried as a traitor to the Derby family. He was condemned to death by a packed Court of Justice on 29 December 1662. The real reason for the execution was to wreak vengeance on Illiam Dhone for the leading part that he and his family had played in frustrating the Earl's persistent attempts to change the old feudal land tenure into a leasehold tenancy, a deep-laid scheme, which would have rendered all land in the Island the personal property of the Earl, and which the landed proprietors such as Illiam Dhone, Deemster Ewan Christian, Governor Edward Christian and some 800 others stubbornly resisted. This struggle had lasted long, and would certainly have been successful, but for the Christian's strong opposition. After the execution, Earl Charles confiscated Ronaldsway, but, on petition to King Charles II, he was ordered to restore it to the heir. However, the Earl then so persecuted the Christians that he succeeded in his endeavour to drive Illiam Dhone's branch of the powerful Milntown and Ronaldsway clan out of the Island.
