William, 10 Mar. 1686. His w. d. 17 July 1688, and he m. 23 Jan.
1690 Sarah Fitch, had Elizabeth b. 19 Feb. 1693, wh. three ch. are nam. in
the will of their aunt Elizabeth Eliot, 1700. Aft. wh. he had Nathaniel, 23
June 1702, and d. 24 May 1712. NICHOLAS, of New Eng. in the
Geneal. of Sir Nicolas S. Geneal. Reg. V. 350 is, I doubt, a misnomer,
perhaps for the first Israel. Yet a Nicholas of later date there certain.
was, wh. liv. at Taunton, at least there m. 17 Feb. 1674, Elizabeth Knapp,
wh. may have been d. of Aaron, and there had Hannah, b. 4 July 1679.
He took sec. w. 25 Feb. 1692, Sarah, d. of Hezekiah Hoar. SAMUEL,
Windsor, s. of the sec. Thomas, tax. in 1691, had Samuel, b. 1702, perhaps
others. THOMAS, Dorchester, 1630 br. of Israel, the first, came
no doubt, in the Mary and John, next mo. in the fleet with Winthrop
desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was sw. 18 May foll. constable
by appointm. of Court, Sept. 1630, in the exercise of wh. office, Mar.
foll. he commit. the indiscret. of solemnis. a mar. betw. Clement Briggs
and Joan Allen, for wh. he was fin. L5, tho. some yrs. after it was
remit. I hope the contr. of m. held good. Early in 1635 (after he had
tak. for sec. w. Margaret, wid. of Simon Huntington, wh. says the Roxbury
ch. rec. had d. on the voyage, of smallpox, bef. reach. Boston in
1633), the planta. of Conn. was project. by many people of Watertown,
Newton (since nam. Cambridge), and Dorchester, and from the two
latter the majority of ch. mem. rem. to found new sett. on the gr. river,
as it wa call. but they were requir. to contin. undeer the jurisdict. of
Mass. He was one of those, oft. rep. betw. 1639 and 48, not ment.
later in my opin. (exc. that Windsor town, and ch. rec. mark his d.
mean. some other person, 25 Mar. 1661) and liv. the resid. of his days
at Windsor, wh. was the nam. giv. to the to Dorchester planta. How long
this time was, is unkn. or what ch. he had, but as he was ens. 1636, and
in 1640 made lieut. the freem. on the list of 1669, may seem to be
a s. Hinman, 243, says he d. Sept. 1684, leav. good est. to ch. six by
name; but as the names all agree with those of the ch. of sec. Thomas,
I doubt not the other circumstances belong to him. The same conclusion
is drawn as to John, wh. follows on the same page. For this first
Thomas, from the Conn. rec. Trumbull, I. 83, as to distrib. of the sev.
portions of Mr. Stoughton's childr. and his w.'s 27 Mar. 1643, I infer,
that he d. late in 1642, and 42 yrs. earlier than Hinman's date. Yet it
is remarka. that Stiles in Hist. of W. has utterly sunkt this first Thomas,
one of the founders of his town, follow. Hinman inst. of the careful
Hist. of Dorchester, wh. however he innocent. refers to. THOMAS,
Windsor, s. of the preced. b. in Eng. an orig. propr. of Hartford, m.
Mary, d. of William Wadsworth, had John, b. 20 June 1657; Mary, 1
Jan. 1659; Elizabeth 18 Nov. 1660; Thomas, 21 Nov. 1663; Samuel, 8
