(Jody Gray) John Stephens born c 1603 - NOT the son of Edward Stephens Lypiat, Gloucester and Anne Crewe.

*https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/167938/stephens-immigrated-guilford-connecticut-parentage-question John Stephens born c 1603. Immigrated to Guildford, Connecticut 1639. Parentage in question.

   The popular opinion of many on Ancestry, Geni, etc. Claim John is son to Sir Edward Stephens Lypiott park Gloucester, and Anne Crewe is not supported by others who say line is false and the John who was truly Edwards son died in school, Oxford, England. A writer C. Ellis Stevens wrote a family history 1904 and has a lot of convincing arguments that he was the son of Edward.

    The couple cannot have had a John born in 1603 since both of them would only have been about  6 years old at the time.  A John Stephens b in 1603 was brother to Edward and became a Member of Parliament also  with a well documented life.
