- I have added a Fact source to the posting below on Family Search as follows:
"John and Alice Wyborne of Chilham, Kent
Will of Alice Wyborne of Chilham, Kent, PROB 16 Oct 1541 offers proof of a son Robert, and thereby father of Richard bn ca 1546. "
"[Source: Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury, Canterbury Cathedral Archives, Will, Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury (U.S.A., Salt Lake City: Genealogical Society of Utah), PRC/17, 1541, vol. 22, fol. 186a, 16 Oct 1541]
The Will of Alice Wyborne, wife of John Wyborn who died at Chilham 1534/1535, specifies: "First, I will that ROBERT my son shall have my tenement with the lands thereto belonging to him and to the heirs of his body lawfully begotten And if it fortune the said ROBERT my son to die without heirs of his body lawfully begotten, that then I will the said tenements and lands be sold by my Executors then being alive or else by the church wardens of Chilham to the best price, And the money thereof coming half to be sung in the said church for my soul and for all Christian souls and the residue in charitable deeds where most need requireth for the health of my soul."
Inasmuch as minors were not able to inherit real property except by certain circumstances, it would indicate a birth year for Robert of between 1520 and 1525. Also, the bequest to Robert indicates that he is not yet married in 1541.
Alice also names a godson, quite likely a grandson, named Robert Howling. She also mentions Clement Wyborn but does not state a relationship indicating that he is not a direct descendant of Alice. However, as he is to have 2 acres of land, regardless of location in Chilham, it would suggest that Clement Wyborn was a reasonably close relative. If this Clement is the brother of Alice's husband, John, then he would have been her brother-in-law. Clement Wyborn is named as one of the Executors but it are two of her witnesses that petition for probate on behalf of 'the Executors named in the Will'.
No bequests are made to nephews or nieces of Alice, which suggests to me that she had no living siblings and that her husband's living siblings had no children. No Will or Inquisition Post Mortem for Clement seems to exist so he may not have been married or left children."

Another researcher of this family argues that Clement is the father of my Richard as follows:

"Father would be either Robert son of John Wybourne (will 1534 of Chilham) and his wife Alice (will 1541) of Chilham OR John's brother Clement Wybourne.
There are arguments for either.
(1) John does not mention a son in his 1534 will so either his wife is pregnant, which means Robert was born 1534/5, or his will is just unusual in not mentioning a living son. If the son Robert was age 10 when his father died, he could be the father of this Richard and we know they were all in Chilham. If Robert was born about 1534/5 he was born too late to be Richard's father.
(2) Clement did not leave a will and, like John was born in Goodnestone, but although we know John moved to Chilham, the only indication that Clement moved there is being mentioned in the 1544 will of John Maxsted of Chilham. Clement would make a better time fit to be the father of Richard but Richard did not name a son Clement as we would expect. That may not be a problem because he was the only Wybourne family in Chilham having children at the time of Alice's birth and she was not recorded. It is possible he moved there already having a couple young children. The naming pattern is that the first son is named after the man's father and usually in the bride's parish. Since we have no records of his marriage or where that parish is, a child named Clement is an open possibility. I have chosen Clement as the father of Richard since that seems more probable to me."
She then goes to say that Jeoffrey is the father and Florence the mother of Clement as follows:
"WILL
Jeffrey Wybourne of Goodnestone - wife Florence - daughters Alice, Catherine, Cecilie & Margaret all single - sons John & Clement - Johan Cussen? - overseer John Barbar - written 16 March 1527 - probated 26 September 1572 "
