St. John Conclusions for now, maybe

Here is what I think may be the lineage for my St. John line to Samuel. This is subject  to reevaluation  at any time!

*The Returns of Aliens in London for 1617 show Christian Santken in Silverstreet, his wife, English, five children, bottonmaker - dwelt here 36 years. Based on this information, Christopher's wife was born in England, while he was foreign born. Christopher had been in England since 1581. He either arrived shortly after his birth or was an infant when his family arrived, suggesting a birth earlier than 1581.

Alternate Lineage: [suggested by current research]

Matthew Sension [1590-1670] & Sarah [d. 1647] - Matthias Sension [1635-1712] & Rachel Button [1667-unk] - Samuel Sension [1685-1752] & Rebecca Olmstead [1681-aft1755]
