Hello Pauline,
I have no connection/no knowledge about any of these families, so am unable to offer anything further.
Your last comment on the 2 Johns .....
If you can verify that the 1st John was your husband's ancestor, then the 2nd John was probably not his brother. It was very common for parents to give subsequent children the names of those who had died young or in infancy, but in this case - most definately not if the 1st one was still living.
The time difference between your 2 Johns is 19 years - enough time for another generation to easily have fitted in between - could you have missed something somewhere?
Anne
