Netherland Hintons to America

I found the following on a Hinton website.Sorry I didn't keep any other info., but I cannot say whether it is true or not, but maybe someone who is directly descended from these Hintons can verify or dispute it:
Sir John Hinton, b. Chilton Foliot, England m. Elizabeth Dilke.
child:James Hinton, b. abt. 1642, Leyden, Holland, d. N.C.
child:Col. John Hinton, b.abt. 1673 and died in N.C.
the line goes on.......
I, too am descended from Christopher and would love to prove his parentage.The above named Hintons may somehow be connected but, again, no proof.
Let me state once more, I am not presenting the above as being fact, only that I came across the information on the web.
Who were in Leyden?The Puritans or Pilgrims??? I know some left from there to come to New England.
