About Jane Joy Scroggin
http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gkbopp/genealogy/ENGLISH/sarah_ances...
Circumstantial evidence indicates that Jane, who married John Scrogin, was the illegitimate child of Fantalena Joy, by Gilbert Clarke, who was born about 1691 in Charles County, before their marriage. This child would have been 17 in 1708 which is considered to be the earliest birth year for Joseph Scrogin, the eldest son of John and Jane Scrogin. Joseph Scrogin named sons, Thomas Clark Scrogin and Philip Jenkins Scrogin, which substantiates this contention. The unusual given name of Fantalena Joy also provides a basis for the legend, among the descendants of Joseph Scrogin, that their immigrant ancestress was a Princess Fantalena. After reviewing new facts, subsequent to his article about Fantalena Joy, eminent genealogist Neil D.
