Henry Denslow Was Not a Son of Nicholas Denslow of Dorchester and Windsor

"Some sources claim various other children for Nicholas Denslow. Stiles ignores the two daughters, but does include sons Henry and John. These men were not named in the wills of Nicholas or his widow; they may be nephews or more distant kinsmen of Nicholas or his widow, but they certainly are not sons."[4].
