Weissenberg & Johnson marriage

From the article:

"Sir William Johnson and Catherine Weissenberg were never married and so their son John was illegitimate and should never have inherited the baronetcy. This has now (in 2013) been brought to the attention of the Ministry of Justice at the House of Lords in London by a 5 x great grand daughter of Catherine Weissenberg."

O'Toole, extensively cited in this article, goes into this question of whether or not the couple was legally married. He presented pro and con sides of the topic, but as far as I remember, could not reach a definitive answer with the data at hand. Are you saying that this question has been settled? How so? Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 16:39, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
