    [Thomas Mears was a merchant & land agent who came to Virginia in 1640 and located on the Elizabeth River in lower Norfolk County. He served in the Virginia House of Burgesses and had been an Independent church warden. He subsequently became a prominent Quaker in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. He may also have Christopher's father-in-law -- though no proof of this has been found.]
