The similarity of given names in this tree to those in the Mardenbrough family of St. Maarten indicates that the two families are certainly related. At this time it is unclear what the relationship between the two families is, but the ages of the children of Christopher Mardenbrough (1.1 on this page) indicates that he may be a brother or cousin to John Mardenbrough's (1) of the St. Maarten family. If you have any additional information on the Mardenbrough family please write me. --- Michelle Terrell |
