Is the father John or Thomas?

Are the parents of Thomas Roberts,  John and Mary or Thomas and Mary?

Could it be Jonathan rather than John    There are other John's on the page and they are written as John

Thank you rosie99 for the possibility of Jonathan. I didn't think of that.

It's been written as Jhon, but John is meant.

[ancestorsnoop]

Thanks horselydown86. Maybe he transposed the "h" and "o." I can't see him spelling John that way on the pages around it. My 2nd great-grandfather name was spelled Jhon, instead of John when he was listed as an informant at death of his father-in-law.

[rosie99]

Jhon is used quite often as an alternative, it is difficult to know what they meant but it was not Thomas

Thanks again rosie99 & horselydown86. It is nice to know that Jhon was used for John. I will let my cousin know.
