    i.e., that Henry baptized 1611 was the immigrant to New England, being
    a grandson of Henry of Oxford. I believe there were American records indicating a birth in ca. 1611 for Henry of New Hampshire (as well as
    some other reasons).

    However, I believe Davis found some internal inconsistencies that led
    him to doubt the line beyond about two or three generations back in England.

    An article in _The Gentleman's Magazine_ seems to give a somewhat
    different account, indicating that Henry of Oxford was a descendant of
    Sir Richard Bold of Bold through his daughter Matilda, wife of Sir
    Richard Sherburne.

    I wonder if Davis would have found this present account more accurate?
    The Sherburnes of Stonyhurst are definitely in the ancestry of Peter
    Worden of Sandwich, Mass. and may well be in the ancestry of the
    Mansfield's of Massachusetts if Alice Bradshaw, wife of Sir John St.
    John is the daughter of Sir Thomas Bradshaigh and Alice Sherburne.
    Peter Worden and Elizabeth (Mansfield) Wilson were 7th cousins.

    This post mentioned the claim that Henry Sherburne of New Hampshire was the son of Joseph Sherb(o)urne of Odiham, Hampshire, which was provisionally accepted by Walter Goodwin Davis. It should be mentioned that Joseph and his children were mentioned in
    the 1687 Visitation of London, which appears to say: "Joseph Sherburn born at Oxford but lived at Odiham in Hantshire and had divers sons, as Edward, Giles, John, and Henry, whereof none surviving in England."

    Does "none surviving IN ENGLAND" acknowledge that there were or may be descendants in New England?
