Dr. Neil Thompson of Salt Lake City, Utah, who made this report for Hikaru said "the published version [of the registers] has been verified with the originals." He notes also "that none of the Cotton children were married at Wolverhampton and an examination of original registers to 1700 have not uncovered any burials for William Cotton, his unnamed wife, or any of his children, which strengthens the hypothesis that we may be dealing with the immigrants to Virginia in Walter and Thomas Cotton." used here with permission of Hikaru.
