I received an email today from someone with some Welsh pedigrees. This particular one followed the Craddock line and identified the wife of Alexander St. John of Highlight in 1429 as Johanna Craddock. I’m waiting on the source citation info.

I'm now convinced more than ever that there is a "conspiracy" to screw up the St. John lineages. It began with Orline merging Mathew I and Mathias I. And for years, I have been convinced there were two Rachel Boutons. 1 married Mathewes and 1 married Mathias III.

Under the floor of St. Mary's Church rest the remains of Christopher St. John, Esq. of Highlight, Glamorgan, Wales. Maybe someday we'll get someone to open this up and collect a Y-DNA sample for Christopher or his son Oliver, for comparison to our project at FTDNA. #Highlight,Glamorgan,Wales

I was invited to write an article for The Hereditary Order of the Red Dragon about Welsh genealogical research. They agreed I could share it with you all when it’s published. It’s about the St. Johns of Highlight and what prompted them to leave Wales and ultimately participate in colonialism.
