ThomasA Richards (AliceB Blake, JohnB, HumphreyC) was born about 1571, probably at Pitminster, Somerset. The name of his wife is unknown. Circumstantial evidence [shows] that ThomasA Richards was probably a son of James and AliceB (Blake) Richards. Research by Robin Bush in the Taunton Deane manorial records has shown that ThomasB Richards was definitely their son, and that James Richards was the son of a Thomas Richards.
