John Hinton, Col. - There is no proof these families are connected! Why were they merged?

Dear cousins,

Why was this profile merged with the family of Sir John Hinton, Royal Physician and his son James? An unsourced tree in a book or on the internet proves nothing. If no new evidence can be produced, the profiles should be disconnected.

There is currently no proof that these families are connected, and considerable evidence that they were of different social classes, making such a connection unlikely. This purported connection appears to be based on the two generations having the same last name and being the right age. Poor research and unlikely conclusions make this a Spurious Pedigree:

Please read the notes and information under the Overview Tab.

As an alternative to disconnecting the two families, perhaps UNKNOWN HINTON profiles could be added in addition to the current parents.

If anyone has any new evidence, I would be delighted to see it.
