See http://tinyurl.com/ht94m for some background on Sir Robert
Hesilrige, 8th Baronet, of London, who had American descendants by his
wife Sarah, daughter of Rev. Nathaniel Walter (not *Waller*), of
Roxbury, Mass.

Elsewhere in _Leicestershire Pedigrees and Royal Descents_ (sub
"Lisle"), the following comment is made:

"John [Lisle], a parliamentarian leader; was Joint Commr. of the Great
Seal, Chief Judge of the High Court of Justice, & a Peer; sat at the
trial of Charles I.; assassinated at Lausanne 1667; m. Alice, dau. and
h. or Sir White Becansaw, Knt., of Moyles Court, Hants. (she was a
royalist, & event. was tried by Judge Jeffries, & beheaded 2 Sept.
1685, aged 80, for sheltering two dissenters at Moyles Court after the
battle of Sedgmoor,) & had issue, which became extinct in 1721, except
her descendants the Baillies, of Mackintosh, Georgia, and Coltons, of
Virginia, and South Carolina, U.S.A."

I don't believe this is correct. See NEHGR, 39:64, where her
descendant, Leonard Cotton, is shown as "settled in America," and
himself the father of "Colonel Cotton, an American Loyalist," and also
NEHGR, 4:92, for the following (somewhat sketchy) details:

No. 1---Leonard Cotton, Gentlemen [sic], son of Reverend Thomas Cotton,
married Alicia [sic] Lisle, the daughter of Lord John Lisle [sic],
aforesaid. His son

No. 2---Leonard Cotton, Jr., married Mary Freeze, and settled in
Newburyport, Mass., whence, in the time of the Indian Wars, he removed
to Virginia with the younger portion of his family. The posterity of
his sons Jacob, Benjamin and James, are still found in Virginia and
North Carolina."
His elders sons,
No. 3---"Thomas of Brunswick and
No. 4--John of Litchfield lived and died in Maine.
No. 4--John, born 1727, died 1824, left no sons.
No. 3---Thomas Cotton, of Brunswick, married the widow of Isaac
Hinckley, who was killed by the Indians, and whose maiden name was
Smith, of York [Maine].
Children.
No. 1---Mary, married Stephen Pennel of Topsham.
No. 2---Martha, married Joel Thompson, Esq., of Lewiston.
No. 3---Sarah, died young.
No. 4---Ruth, died young.
No. 5---Isaac married Elizabeth Sylvester; Sons Isaac, Sylvester,
Thomas.

It seems to me that there would probably be a few descendants in Maine.
