9 Apr. 1664; Hannah, 22 Mar. 1666; Elizabeth 6 Feb. 1668; and Susanna,
wh. may all belong to a single couple; yet, when Thomas and Elizabeth
bring in a contribut. to the registry, doubt arises whether the f. be the
same of Thomas, b. 1 Jan. 1677. THOMAS, perhaps of Rehoboth, bef.
1647, at least Thomas Bliss of R. in his will, 1649, calls him, h. of his
eldest d. THOMAS, Eastham, had Nathaniel, b. 24 Apr. 1655, as Col.
Rec. tells. THOMAS, Wethersfield, had ten ch. of wh. we kn. the
names but of only seven the b. and that he had w. Rebecca is also kn.
but whether she was the only one is less clear. He made his will 16
Dec. 1689, yet prob. d. not bef. Feb. 1693; left w. and eight ch. had
Thomas, b. 9 Mar. 1657; Samuel, 11 June 1659, d. bef. his f.; John,
15 Apr. 1662; Jacob, 7 Mar. 1665; Sarah, 1667, d. bef. her f.; Rebecca,

liv. at W. 1693. THOMAS, Groton, of whose f. the name or resid. is

Ebenezer, beside five ds. the childr. being betw. 12 and 33 yrs. of age,
and a gr.ch. as heir of a d. says Caulkins, 349. THOMAS, Watertown,
s. perhaps of William of the same, m. Mary, d. of Richard Holden, and
may be the same as THOMAS, Taunton, s. of Richard of the same, by w.
Mary had Mary, b. 1680; Jonathan, 1683; Sarah, 1685; Mercy, perhaps
is the intend. name print. Macy, 1687; Hannah, 1689; Bethia,

Mary, d. of Benjamin Lowell, had Mary, b. 2 July 1697; and Henry,
27 Sept. 1699; but wh. was his f. or any more of him, we can learn

Eng. aged 40, with w. Alice, 38, and two ch. whose names are not seen;
and Elizabeth aged 31, wh. may have been his sis. came on the same day
from Yarmouth. One Ann W. aged 15, came from Norwich, three
days bef. with a differ. fam. He may have been of Watertown, for
there was a propr. says Bond, of that name in that town, 1642; and the
act of the Ct. in Apr. 1641 to be read in Rec. I. 316, refers to him.
If not the same man, WILLIAM, Dover, had a gr. of ld. 1653, and was
tax. there 1657-1668, says Quint, had William. WILLIAM, Hartford,
