Here's the 21 database showing that the 1891 John F's bRef code of fitzgjo03 was tied to the 1958 Giant. Some of the issues may have gotten fixed in 22 but the fact my import of him still had issues, I'd look at all the John Fitzgerald lines in 22 to ensure they ties to the proper bRef import code/MLB ID.

Yeah, the John Fitzgeralds got a bit messy. Warren Fitzgerald was originally thought to be a John Fitzgerald, and thus he took the fitzgjo01 spot. That means that what we thought were fitzgjo01 through fitzgjo03 (John J, John H, and John F) become fitzgjo02 through fitzgjo04, and everything gets goofy.
