Wife Elizabeth "Eliz Sensian" St. John, Alleged wife of Mathias II St. John, b. 6 Nov 1631, St. Botolph, Bishopgate, London, England
Other Partners: Married Abt 1657 Norwalk, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA - According to ‘Lineage & Biography of St. John Family’ by Archie St. John, 1946, the wife of Mathias II (1628-1728) was Elizabeth St. John, a first cousin.
This marriage seems plausible considering her mother would have died in 1647 when she was aged 16 years and Mathias St. John II would have been aged 19 in that year. The marriage to Matthias St. John II is therefore left at “alleged” only.
Other sources claim she was Elizabeth Seeley. According to the Seeley genealogy, there is no record of an Elizabeth Seeley to the St. John family and they have no idea how this claim got started. It appears the name Seeley came from the will of Mathias St. John 1601-1669 when he said for his mother selle one cowe. "Mother Selle" was interpreted as Mother Seeley rather than "sell one cow".
