Mark St. John, of Home-Lot III, as well as, at one time, of Home-Lots Nor. 5 and 16, was the son of the proprietor of Lot No. 22, Matthias St. John, Sr., and settler. The son, in this instance, receives mention in advance of his father, in order that numerical irregularity may be avoided. The "plan" of this work is to introduce the fathers before proceeding to consider their transactions, while the " anticipated " insertions alluded to at the bottom of page 82, will not only print-preserve collected data concerning themselves and their children, but serve, it is hoped, to gratifyingly link the present with the past.
