I did point out that Moriarty did consider it a probability that the
NE Winslows were descended froma brother of the Thomas who married Agnes
Throckmorton.

I also have transmitted the latest (1968) material I could find for
the Winslows. I believe that Cecilia is either a fabrication or a
grafting. I have not seen the original source for her. I would guess
that it comes from the original genealogy of the family. Robert Charles
Anderson, FASG has negative feeling about it which he expresses in "The
Great Migration" under Edward Winslow.

Hope this clarifies the situation,
