Sir John Deane (1583 – 17 February 1626) of Dyne's Hall in the parish of Great Maplestead in Essex, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1621 to 1622. Origins
Deane was the only son of William Deane (d.1585) of Dyne's Hall, Great Maplestead, Essex, by his second wife Anne Egerton, a daughter of Thomas Egerton of London, merchant, and widow of George Blyth (d.1581), MP, Secretary to the Council in the North. William Deane, "a younger son of Lancashire stock",  had been the steward and third husband of Anne Wentworth (1537-1580) (Lady Maltravers), one of the three daughters and co-heiresses of Sir John Wentworth of Gosfield Hall in Essex, and the widow successively of Sir Hugh Rich (a son of Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich) and then of Henry FitzAlan, Lord Maltravers (1538–1556), son and heir apparent of Henry FitzAlan, 12th Earl of Arundel. In 1575 William Deane acquired and rebuilt Dyne's Hall (Called "Deane Hall" on the monument of his son's father-in-law), near Gosfield Hall, and lived there after his first wife's death, when he remarried to Anne Egerton, the widow of George Blythe, Clerk of the Council of the North in 1572, and a younger daughter of Thomas Egerton, Citizen and Mercer of the City of London, who "claimed to be descended from the Egertons of Wrinehill in Cheshire". Her brother was Stephen Egerton, the Puritan preacher of St Anne’s in the Blackfriars. Career
He matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford on 24 October 1595, aged 12 and was awarded BA on 8 November 1600. In 1600, he became a student of law at Lincoln's Inn. He was knighted on 11 May 1603. He was a Justice of the Peace for Essex from 1607 until his death and was appointed High Sheriff of Essex for 1610–11. In 1621, he was electedas a  Member of Parliament for Essex.
