Notes:

There is a John married to Eln Hoy 1723 in Braintree, Braintree Essex, England marriage index
The baptism may not be accurate as Chrishall is quite a distance from Braintree.
following info from wikipedia: Chrishall (pronounced Chris hall) is a small village in the English county of Essex. It is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Cambridge and lies equidistant [10 kilometres (6 mi)] between the two medieval market towns of Saffron Walden and Royston. Although in Essex, Chrishall lies close to its borders with Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire and has a 'Hertfordshire' postcode (SG8).

The village was listed in the Domesday Book as Cristeshalla, or "nook of land dedicated to Christ". In 1422, (1 Henry VI), it appears in a record as "Cristeshale".[2] It is one of only two English settlements whose name contains the word "Christ".

Chrishall's location is key to its character; as the village sits at the highest point in Essex, at 147 metres (482 ft) above sea level, road construction has avoided this high ground and therefore Chrishall is off the beaten track.

Chrishall's population has remained largely unchanged over the last 170 years. In 1841 it totalled 518 and today about 450 people live in the village.[3]

John married Sarah about 1714 in England. Sarah was born about 1695 in England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
