>From my research, it does not show William and Aquilla to be of the same family. Aquilla wrote a will and mentioned his two sons, Aquilla and Thomas, both of whom came to the New World. However, there is no mention of a son named William. Since sometimes, when a child went to the New World, they were dropped from wills,etc., it would seem that this is not the case in this instance. So, it is my (strictly a persdonal) judgement that William does not belong in that family.
