Any other proof than the C. Ellis source that John of Guilford is son to Edward Stephans and Anne Crewe? I saw this note that claims he wasn't :( John b. 1622, d. 1643 in England -(Foster's Alumni Oxoniensis, p. 1418) (of Oxford University). This is the son C. Ellis Stevens claimed immigrated to Guilford, Conn. Mrs. C. S. Holmes disproved it. ) If the son of Edward, named John did in fact die in England where did our John come from??

Dates are all mixed up. Here's Ellis:

Stevens genealogy. Some descendants of the Fitz Stephen family in England and New England by Stevens, Charles Ellis, 1853-1906. [from old catalog] Published 1905, [https://archive.org/stream/stevensgenealogy00stev#page/51/mode/2up page 52],

Sir Edward MP died about 1670. His daughter Temperance married by 1657 according to http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1660-1690/member/pa... which suggests she was born about 1635.

The article http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1660-1690/member/st... has Edward marrying about 1619, and he was born in 1597. So he wasn't having a child at 4 years old; this John Stevens was born about 1603.

Disconnected.

Is this a source for the Stephens Genealogy

I know there is an FTDNA yDNA Stephens project as well. My Stephen's first cousin is a part of the project. He matches the old English Glouchestshire

Has a direct Stephens male tested big yDNA and joined the Stephens project from this Stephens line? We came from the Giles Stephens line of Baltimore, MD

Y-DNA. The Y-DNA results in the Stephens-Stevens Y-DNA Testing Project at FTDNA shows one supposed descendant in Haplogroup R-CTS11962, and another supposed descendant in Haplogroup Q-M242. Clearly one of these two descendants is not actually a descendant of John Stephens. Testing of more descendants is needed to clarify in which Haplogroup he actually belongs.
