    New London has no record of marriage and deaths of Thomas and Agnes, nor births of their children.
    He first appears on New London records as freeman and voter in 1686, and the list of "new inhabitants between 1670 and 1700" names 'Pember, Thomas, 1686.'
    The First Church of Christ of New London has these records: 'May 15, 1692, Thos. Pember and his Wife owned ye Cov't. shee was baptized Agnes and yr children Mercy, Thomas, Elizabeth.', April 2, 1694, Ann (on a baptismal list), 'April 12, 1696, Mr. Pembers child John was bapt'.
    From the Probate Records of New London, A. 585: 'Administrator's bond of Agnes Pember with Thomas Way and George Way as sureties (her brothers), was signed for 200£ at New London, Conn., Nov. 13, 1711, on Estate of Thomas Pember.'
    The existence of a will, although his death was sudden, indicates either age or ill-health. The will is now in Conn. State Archive, in an excellent state of preservation and easily readable."
