According to the dates son john would have been born before parents daniel and janet smart would have been married ? im thinking the john menzies son of daniel and janet smart was born more around 1792

there is also another john menzies son of Daniel Menzies and janet reid who was christened 15 april 1781 so i would assume the dates are just getting mixed between the two
