(XIV) Thomas (6), only son of Thomas (5) and Hannah or Anna (Parkhurst) Mayhew, was born about 1620, in Southampton, England, and was a child when brought by his father to Massachusetts. He received a liberal education, became a preacher to the Indians, and was the first minister on Martha's Vinyard. He was lost at sea in November, 1657, while on a voyage from Boston to London. He was married about 1645 to his father's step-daughter, Jane Paine, who became the wife of Richard Sansom by a second marriage. Rev. Thomas Mayhew had three sons (and probably daughters), namely: Matthew, Thomas and John."
