Person:Thomas Hoar (4)

"Thomas Hoare, probably the oldest of the surviving children of Charles at his death, did not accompany his brothers and sisters to New England. According to the register of St. Mary de Crypt he was baptized June 15, 1612. A translation of the record of his apprenticeship to his father dated 1625 is as follows:

Thomas Hoare son of Charles Hoare of the City of Gloucester, Brewer, binds himself apprentice to the said Charles his father by indenture dating from the day of the Feast of Purification of St. Mary the Virgin (Feb. 2,) in the year of the reign of King Charles now of England the first, for the term of twelve years etc. paying at the end of the term two suits of clothes.

The name of Thomas Hoare appears among early settlers in old Norfolk, Massachusetts, and was common in Gloucestershire; but the identity of either of the persons bearing this name with the son of Charles has not been established. One of the name was churchwarden of St. Mary de Crypt Church, Gloucester, in 1636."^[1]
