    Thomas(2) Scruggs (William(1)) of Great Yarmouth, co. Norfolk, and Salem, Mass., was born about 1590, probably in St. Sepulchre's parish, London, and died in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1654. He married Margery ----- before 1619. No record of his apprenticeship appears in the books of the Butchers Company in London, but sometime before 1619/20, when the record of the baptism of his children begins in the parish church, he settled in Great Yarmouth, co. Norfolk, and practiced the family trade. His name appears in a subsidy of 1629 as the owner of land in the second north ward of the town.
