So far it has not been possible to identify the name of Thomas Gunn's wife. Some earlier researchers thought it was Elizabeth Brown, but there is no credible evidence this was her name.

Thomas and Elizabeth had two daughters, both named Elizabeth, who did not survive infancy: Elizabeth I, born about 1638, died 22 Aug 1640 in Windsor. Elizabeth II, born 14 Oct 1649, died 3 Jan 1655 in Windsor. Perhaps this gave origin to the idea that the mother's name, too, was Elizabeth.

Married by 1638 according to Third Supplement to Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700, p. 121, (The Great Migration: 3:171)

Married on 22 October 1636 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, according to The Harmon and Perry Genealogy. No sources given; and does not appear a reliable source for the Gunns: [[2]]

    On 19 January 1667/8, John Winthrop Jr. treated "Gun [blank] 63 years wife of [blank] Gun of Windsor" [WMJ 777]. She must, therefore, have been born in 1605. This is a manuscript located at the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Massachusetts.
