Jean-Baptiste was born in 1669. He would have been 55 when Pricilla was BORN. By the time she grew up and married, he would have been 75. Not that a 75 y/o couldn't father at least 3 children, but it is unlikely.
Jean-Baptiste's son Stephen is said (by House of Cessna) to have married Patience, and they had a son, Jean/John Sisney/Cessna. This son, the grandson of Jean-Baptiste is the one that Pricilla married.
