Another item possibly "of interest":
Evelyn Wachter's _Sidman-Sidnam Families of Upstate New York_ says,
"The emigrant ancestor of the Sidman and Sidnam families of upstate New York was George Sydenham, born probably c. 1655, at Poole in Morebath, county Devon, England. ... George was the eldest son of George Sydenham, born c. 1623, buried 12 October 1694, Morebath, Devon. ..."
A few pages on, she seems to quote from original documents concerning Poole, Morebath, and a certain Walter Sydenham.

Thomas Wotton's 1727 _Baronetage_ mentions the apparent father George Sydenham, "of Poole in Moorbath," with an eldest son Walter, as well as a younger son George "of New-England."

So at least as early as 1727 there were printed claims that George of Poole in Morebath had a son George Sydenham in the colonies.
Burke's _Dormant Baronetcies_ might be easier to follow, as least as far as possible noble ancestry:

It looks like they might connect up with these people (of Magna Charta descent, at least):
