    "'Goodman' Thomas Elgar was a soldier under Maj. Treat in the Fort Fight Dec. 19th 1675. He was an invalid pensioner at Hadley in 1678. He m. Abigail Filley, July 6th 1691, and settled in Suffield. Children were Thomas, b. July 24th 1692, Abraham, b. July 6th 1695. … His son Thomas, in 1735, petitioned Conn. (without success) for a bounty, for his father’s services in 'King Philips war (State Archives, War, Vol. 1, p. 148). In 1740, Thomas enlisted as a soldier in the unfortunate Cuban Expedition, and nothing more is known of him. See Stiles, Windsor, p. 330, and Trumbull's Hist, of Conn., Vol. 11, Chap. IX.)"

    [Note: there appear to be overwritten corrections in the record, but it does say 1692. The record is out of order according to the final or corrected copy. 1699 is highly unlikely that the younger Thomas would have married Rachel at the age of 15.]
