    "Thomas Steevens (John1), born in England about 1628. Married in 1650 Mary Fletcher, daughter of John Fletcher of Milford. Thomas came with his father from England to Guilford about 1646. He never became a freeman in Guilford. With his father and brother William he was a strong supporter of and adherent to Dr. Rossiter, and in October, 1662, all three joined with others in seceding from the New Haven colony, and tendered their persons and estates to the Connecticut colony. They were received into this colony and guaranteed protection. The bitter controversy which followed caused Thomas to remove in 1665 to Killingworth, where in 1669 he was made a freeman. Thomas was a man of ability and prominence in Killingworth and was twice elected to the General Assembly. In 1654, while living in Guilford, he was chosen corporal in an expedition against the Dutch of New York. He died Nov. 18, 1685."
