Indeed, the George you mention ("Adrain" in the LDS records) is a top contender to be John's father.
The other record also has merit, in that the birth in Coleraine is illegitimate (a reasonable contributing factor for emigrating??); however the record shows the baby as "Robert John". This doesn't disqualify, of course, but I have seen nothing yet that corroborates an added "Robert" in my John's name.
I believe George may have had another son or two come to America, so I'm currently working to see if I can make a connection with my John....
