Since the James b. 1684 record indicates he was born in Westmoreland Co, VA, it doesn't appear that this can be a son of Robert/Theophilus who was all ready in RI by then! And, Flory doesn't give us any original sources to prove his assertion, only copies of other people's online information as his sources. Not too reliable! I'd like to know what documents they actually have to make this connection.
