It's interesting stuff trying to piece together these things. Clearly there is some bad information out there and it just keeps being passed along the internet. Even Morse got things wrong and everyone since assumed he was correct. What I know is that Capt. John Grout left Watertown sometime between 1639 and1643 for Sudbury. I know of no other record of a Grout in Watertown after that until his children were older.
Here's a link to Watertown birth records in the 1600's
