The living list on Hotten's page 186 names one John Walton in the stretch of names that follows 'more at Elizabeth Cittie.' No later place heading was read before his name. The muster names one John Walton, aged 28, at Elizabeth City, and says he came in 1621. Same name and the same place make the match probable. The list has no age, so the match is not established.

Compiled

Inferred

Against
None recorded.
