"5. Thomas (Lee), son of John1, and Mary (Hart) Lee born at Farmington, August 1671, married, first, Lydia Benton, of Hartford. They had twin children who died in infancy and the mother died soon after—about 1700. He married second, Feb. 11, 1707, Mary Camp of Hartford. She died March 22, 1722; married third, Elizabeth Hubbard who died March 23, 1733; married fourth, Widow Martha Howard of Windsor. He 'owned the covenant' July 11, 1708. … He was a mason by trade, and a Sergeant in the Farmington Train Band, by which title he is alluded to in the public records. He was appointed Constable by the General Court, an office of note at that time, and considered as the 'right arm of the law.' By the many transfers found on record, it is evident that he was an extensive land holder in Farmington, New Britain, Southington, Bristol and Avon. He died Sept. 26, 1740."
