In the Swarthout Chronicles John was the father of my 3rd great grandfather Ralph born 1783. Some family trees on Ancestry.com have John born 1760 as his father and others have Ralph born 1764 as his father. I can place Ralph in documentation at different times in New York but not John. Has anyone found documentation for John born 1760? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
