Probably not; the colonial immigrant the descent passes through does not appear on any list of verified gateway ancestors. There were fewer than 600 or so colonial-era immigrants to North America with a verifiable line of descent from royalty/Magna Carta barons/etc; the names of those colonial-era immigrants can be found here and here. If your colonial-era ancestor with a presumed line of descent from royalty is not on one of those lists then the line is probably false.

The job of the Magna Carta Project is to verify trails between surety barons and the 240 Gateway Ancestors documented in Douglas Richardson's "Magna Carta Ancestry". Those Gateways can be seen HERE. Your first step is to figure out which Gateway Ancestor you're related to.
