Ummm....I think we have a case of differing secondary sources here -
and thus a question of which one is more accurate.
I agree with you that Jessopp says that William Calibut (or Calybutt)
is a son of the elder John Calibut - but, as you mention, Jessopp has
the wife of the elder John wrong and doesn't name the wife of the
elder John.
OTOH there is a pedigree of the Calybutt [sic] family in G. A.
Carthew's "The hundred of Launditch and deanery of Brisley in the
county of Norfolk" which presents a different picture. It's available
for download here (see 2:681-2):
https://familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=195828
Here the wives of the two Johns are presented as you indicate, but
William is said to be brother, not son, of the elder John. Admittedly
the date of William's will suggests that he is brother to the younger
John, but it's not impossible that chronologically he could be brother
of the elder John as Carthew indicates.
In addition I notice that the Harleian Society edition of the
visitations of Norfolk (HSP vol. 32) also places William as a brother,
not son, of the elder John - and it has the wives of both of the Johns
as you indicate them to be.
So...two sources say William was brother of the elder John, while one
says he was his son. A nice puzzle....
