I saw it a few days ago and today I saw a post of 2000 in www.genealogy.com it is http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/gregory/2742/ that affirms that the immigrant Henry being son of John Gregory of Nottinghamshire is not proven however the evidence they say there seems to me enough to make a good case. John's son William who was styled Gentleman in his will dated 18 June 1650 and proved on 5 February 1651, gave a legacy to his brother Henry Gregory "now in New England." There is no other known Henry Gregory in New England at the time. Henry of Nottingham son of John is known to have been a shoemaker and Henry the Immigrant was also one. Henry the Immigrant named his eldest son John that was the name of Henry of Nottingham's father and Henry of Nottingham is known to have had a daughter named Anne who has the correct age to be Henry the Immigrant's daughter Anne. > > I think this is convincing enough but comments on the topic are welcome. Douglas Richardson, >From Victoria County History: " A disposition for the marriage of Roger Hulton and Katherine Harrington related in the fourth degree was granted by Paul 11 and issued by the Bishop of Litchfield in August 1467." This date of 1467 makes me doubt that the Emma Hulton, daughter of Roger and Katherine Harrington, married Richard Parr. The Emma Hulton who married Richard Parr was probably the daughter of and earlier Roger Hulton.
