  3. Would be a good match for Person:Thomas Walkup (2) except for Barry's little legend relayed on that page. Not sure if that legend is credible. No other possible person has been located. Secondary sources call him "Thomas Walkup of Sudbury" but no deed shows him buying or selling land in Sudbury or "of Sudbury". This appears to be based solely on the marriage record, then his children are born in Marlborough, until 1771 when he buys land in Templeton.
