I have also seen entries for James Head being baptized Jan.25, 1604, St. Dunstan and All Saints., Stepney, Middlesex, England; but I have found NO record of this or where this information came from. Further, I 've found no evidence of a Head family in and around Hythe at the time of Jame's birth year. I haven't seen any convincing evidence of whom James Head's family was or is connected to in England so far.
