Savage and Babson both say that Thomas and Ann had four sons and seven daughters, but only the sons are named: Thomas, Moses, Aaron and Joshua, whom Babson says married and had families in the town of Gloucester. Millett gives names, birth dates and marriages (with some errors), but shows only ten children, so it would appear there may have been another daughter who died young.
Thomas settled near his father in Gloucester.
He married (1) Anne Wheeler of Salisbury. He married (2) Elizabeth Wood of Beverly MA. He married (3) (intent) 26 Aug 1727 Ruth Dodge of Wenham MA.
