Anne !! Hi! Thanks. So it looks like we have two different John St John's each married to Scribner girls the same year. Challenge is to figure out which John and whose children belong to whom.
Because the 1907 genealogy has been shown to have other errors, I would love to find an additional, more original source that supports her maiden name. Also for the exact marriage date given. A quick search of Americanancestors.org was unsuccessful.
John St. John married widow Sarah Scribner Nov. 11, 1749 in Wilton, Ct.
