Alexander St. John

Alexander St. John, father of Henry St. John of Keysoe, co. Bedford is
briefly treated in Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry.
see:
http://books.google.com/books?id=wHZcIR ... 3exlQC4OCE

(Alexander's son Henry was grandfather of Elizabeth wife of Samuel
Whiting of Lynn, Mass. They were ancestral to
Pres. Calvin Coolidge, actress Bette Davis & Sen. John Kerry)

No will, IPM or burial is noted for Alexander.
The heralds visitations of Bedfordshire state that his wife was Jane
widow of Thomas Leventhorpe of Sawbridgeworth co. Hertford.

As an example of how confused the sources can be for this period:
A summary of monumental brasses states that Thomas Leventhorpe was
married to the -widow- of Alexander St. John:

The marriages are given in the same order in Weiss' Ancestral Roots,
based on Mill Stephenson's book on monumental brasses:

http://books.google.com/books?id=XLqEWw ... c#PPA85,M1

The heralds visitations of Hertfordshire state that Jane was married
to "John" Leventhorpe & Alexander St. John,
without saying which marriage happened first.

And then we have the London marriage license for
"Alexander Seynt John, of Lacton, & Johanna alias Jane Leventhorpe, of
Sawbridgeworth" dated 18 Nov. 1530.

One would hope there are surviving records which will straighten this
out!

I would start with the original marriage allegation, which represents
a primary source, and based on the index entry would appear to show
the correct order. They have the original allegations, which would
state the status of the spouses (e.g. widow), on film at SLC.
