"When James Eggleston died in 1613, Juliana was left with the tuition of his minor children whose ages ranged from ten to about two years; James, Jr., John, Margaret and Alice. About a year later, Juliana Eggleston married William Bainton who helped her run the farm and bring up her children. Bainton died in 1632 and left Juliana a widow for the second time. Juliana Bainton made her will on 1 January 1636/7, and was buried a week later. By this time her four children were all married.
In her will, Juliana named her own children and grandchildren, but she also named, or implied, James's older daughters; Dorothy, Elizabeth (deceased) and Jane. Of course, Juliana did not name Bygod because by then he was in Windsor, CT, struggling to build a life for himself and his three English-born sons, James, Samuel and John. We have found some Windsor land grants for "John, son of Baggett Egleston". From these we now know that John Egleston who died at Windsor in 1646 was an English-born son of Bygod. John obviously died too young to become a freeman of Windsor or to get married, so that is why we did not know about him before. He must have been a very small boy when Bygod and sons made the voyage to the colonies."
