1. His original baptism record list no parents, common for many of the parish priest in Somerset in 1500s to list only the children baptized without the parents names.

2. without the baptism record listing a parent, even if we trace a supposed father for this ancestor we might find a probated will listing a John Winter, but we would need an orig. baptism record in the same area of birth as a second source to work the trail.

It's my opinion this lineage ends with this John Winter- can prove his existence, but not parentage.

Do you all concur?
