Great Migration says of immigrant Bigod Eggleston: Baptized Settrington, Yorkshire, 20 February 1586[/7], son of "James Egeleston" [TAG 10:198]. (Rosalie Eggleston and Linda Eggleston McBroom have identified the mother of Bigod Eggleston as Margaret, daughter of Miles Harker of Settrington [TAG 69:193-201].)

A note on Bigod Eggleston's page says: "Three recently discovered wills prove that there was no Juliana in the Harker family and that the wife mentioned in James Eggleston's will was Juliana Frear, daughter of John Frear of Thorp Bassett, a parish adjacent to Settrington. (We are indebted to Robert Charles Anderson, coeditor of TAG, for discovering the will Richard Harker of London and to Tim Owston for discovering the wills of John Freer [Frear, Frere, Fryer] of Thorpe Bassett and Juliana Bainton of Settrington.)"

This description by the authors who found those three wills here indicates that both theories are true.
