1. ↑ Estimated marriage date of bef. 1638 is based on recorded birth of daughter Meletiah in Sep 1638 (Source:Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States. Births, Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths, 1630-1699 (A Report of the Record Commissioners), p. 6). They probably had recently arrived from England as Thomas was made freeman in 1642, admitted to the church in 1644, his wife 1643 (Source:Emery, William M. Newell Ancestry : The Story of the Antecedents of William Stark Newell, p. 75).
