    Nina Bigsby in her book has details about Thomas's activities after coming to America and his participation in the Quaker movement.

    In the book "Passengers and Ship;s Prior to 1684" Compiled by Walter Lee Shepparde, Jr. it has Thomas and his 3 children by his first wife arriving on the ship "The Bristol Factor" which probably included William Penn as a passenger as his arrival date seems to conincide with this ship. It arrived in Virginia and then up the Delaware to Pennsylvania. Humphrey was listed with 4 hats, 8 pairs woolen stockings; 10 yeards English ticking; 19 garments; 3/4 bushel oatmeal; cwwt. cheese.

    Thomas's certificate from Redstone Meeting, Pembrokeshire for his wife and family was dated 2 7m 1683 for his wife and family was dated 2 7m 1683 and filed at Haverford Meerting.
