    John is assumed to have arrived from England in 1636 or 1637.

    Thomas and Ruth Tisdale were identified as parents of John Tisdale by H. A. Somerby. Given the known often "creative" nature of Somerby's work,* Thomas and Ruth should be treated as speculative parents until such time as further evidence can be found to corroborate the relationship.
