Thomas Welde (bap. 1595 – 1661) was an English clergyman, who became a Puritan, emigrant to New England, colonial missionary, author and polemicist. His sojourn in the New World turned out be brief lasting only nine years, but he left his mark over there. On returning to England, he was a parish priest and became embroiled in controversy with the Quakers. His son, Edmund, also came back to Europe and started an Irish Weld line and became chaplain to Oliver Cromwell.

"Matriculated at Cambridge from Trinity College, 1611; B.A. 1613-4; M.A. 1618 [Venn 4:360-01; Morison 404]. … Thomas Weld was one of the ecclesiastics who tried Anne Hutchinson for heresy, and for this reason Savage honored him with the longest sketch in his Genealogical Dictionary [Savage 4:458-73]. Savage quoted Weld's remark that he was excommunicated from the Church of England "by the driveling malevolence of Archbishop Laud" of London [Savage 4:459]. Most of this sketch sets forth Savage's argument as to the authorship of a tract, published in London under Weld's guidance, about the Antinomian controversy. Weld certainly made additions to the book as in went through the press, but modern scholars believe the bulk of the text to have been written by John Winthrop. In 1641, in the early stages of the Civil War in England, Rev. Thomas Weld and Rev. Hugh Peter were sent home to represent Massachusetts Bay to Parliament [WJ 2:30]. Weld performed many useful services for Massachusetts Bay while in England, but he never returned to New England, despite being urged to do so [WJ 2:92, 260]."[1]
