Notes
I found will of Peter Runyon and Providence Blackford and they do not list A John Runyon (he died before will was drafted) as a son or a daughter Elizabeth Runyon Sutton. She died before 4 July 1760, the date of her estate inventory, in Piscataway, Middlesex, New Jersey.

Warnings
You may encounter information, on the internet and elsewhere, which claims to set forth an "ancestry" of this John Runyon. Such information usually includes such names as Anna Barefoot, Barefoot/Isaac Runyan, Prudence Smalley, Peter Runyon and/or Providence Blackford. If you do come across such claims, it would be in your best interest to disregard them. They are not true and there is no known original source documentation for any of said claims. Dea. John Runyon
