In 1445 he was a commission of enquiry as to illicit shipments of wool from co. Lincoln. In 1446 he had pardon for intrusions on the lands of his inheritance without licence In consequence of his marriage his interests and activities were transferred to the counties of Wilts and Dorset. He was Sheriff of Dorset 1455-56, and on various commissions of oyer and terminer, &c., in Wilts, and a justice of the peace from 1453 onwards. He was knighted 3 May 1461 by Edward IV at Grafton, by Tewkesbury; and had a general pardon under the style of John Willoughby of Broke, knight. He was not summoned to Parliament.

      He married, before 4 March 1444/5 Anne, daughter and coheir of Edmund CHEYNEY, of Brook, Wilts, and Ottery, Devon (h), by Alice, daughter and coheir of Humphrey STAFFORD, of Hook, Dorset, and Southwick, Wilts. He was living in December 1475, but died before August 1477, when his son had licence to enter on his lands. [Complete Peerage VII:478-9, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
