    "James (Eggleston), b. say 1620; … Most accounts of the family state that James and Samuel were twins, but there is no evidence in favor of this, and few dates to help us in sorting out the chronology for these two men. However, James Eggleston has an entry dated 8 December 1640 in the Windsor land inventory whereas Samuel does not; and the two men married about seven years apart."

    From the time of his daughter Mary's baptism in Norwich on 19 January 1613/4 until his immigration to New England in 1630, Bigod Eggleston's whereabouts has been unknown. Apparently, he returned to Settrington for at least a brief period of time. The market town for Settrington was Malton. It was there that James Eggleston, son of Bigod, was baptized on 21 September 1615. Though the biographical sketch of Bigod Eggleston in The Great Migration Begins states that his son James was born "say 1620" it is likely that this is the baptismal record for James, son of Bigod Eggleston, who to New England and married Hester Kelsey.
