more is heard of him. * THOMAS, Dorchester, freem. 3 Sept. 1634, Dr.
Harris thot. came in 1630, but no ment. of him is found bef. 1634, and
in very few yrs. he is heard of at Windsor, there was in good esteem,
and had five ch. but only Samuel is found by rec. to be b. there, and
that was 13 July 1645; and in 1647 alone, three ds. Thomas, Priscilla,
and Ann. He was a tanner, or at least sold a tanyard to Elder John
Strong. THOMAS[1], Stratford, of wh. very little is kn. exc. that he had
Theophilus, b. there, 10 June 1651; and aft. 1653 no more is heard of
him at Stratford, but he was rep. 1651. THOMAS, Hartford, a tanner,
perhaps s. of Thomas of Windsor, had liv. at Milford, there m. 1674,
Hannah d. of Nathaniel Farrand, had only ch. Samuel, wh. with w.
Hannah are nam. in his will made 1694, tho. he liv. to 22 Sept. 1703.
THOMAS, Yarmouth, came soon aft. the Bartholomew act of 1662, bring.
w. and ch. not prob. all he ever had, but the name of his w. is not ment.
Nor do I find the Univ. at wh. he was bred, or the liv. from wh. he was
eject. At Y. he was as early as 18 June 1663, and a. 1694 rem. to Boston,
where his s. Thomas had in 1677 join. with Mather's ch. and d. 15 Feb. 1700,
aged over 90 yrs. Sewall calls him very near. 93. He was perhaps something
advanc. towards sec. childhood, when call. by Cotton Mather, Jan. 1694, to
testify how Margaret Rule was raised from her bed by an invisible force, to
touch the garret floor, "lifted up from all that under her," as many be read
on p. 23 of the London ed. 1700 of "More Wonders of the Invisible
World" by Robert Calef of Boston. But the witness may have been his
s. of the same name. Of his ch. we guess at the success. for the date
of b. is unkn. and foll. Dr. Bond count. these seven: Ann, wh. m.
Nathaniel Hall of Yarmouth; Mary, m. Judah Thacher, and d. 30
Nov. 1708, aged 68; Elizabeth m. Joshua Gee, of Boston, and next Rev.
Peter Thacher of Milton; Thomas; Theophilus; Priscilla, wh. d. at 11
yrs. whether at B. or at Y. is not indic. by Mather, wh. (tho. he tells of
the f. that he was "aged and faithful" adds not ano. syl. but) favors the
youthful maid near the end of his book VI. with more than a half of one
of the large fol. pages; and |Timothy b. a. 1650. THOMAS, Watertown,
adm. into the ch. 19 Aug. 1688, is by Bond, reput. s. perhaps of the
preced. and one of the undertak. 1673, for sett. of Worcester. I find
him at Malden in 1674, taking o. of fidel. and apparent. younger than
Theophilus; yet no more can we gather. * TIMOTHY, Boston, merch. s.
of Rev. Thomas, b. in Eng. and Bond strange. thot. he may have been
eldest, tho. his earliest impress. was that he was youngest, freem. 1672,
by w. Experience, perhaps sis. of the first John Brooking, wh. d. 23 Mar.
1694, had Mary, b. 2 Apr. 1674; Thomas d. young; Elizabeth 16 Nov.
1677; Timothy, 6 May 1681; Catharine, 16 Apr. 1683; Experince,
23 Feb. 1687; and Ebenezer, bapt. 12 Jan. 1690. He was rep. 1693,
4, and 5; and ano. w. Sarah, wh. d. 3 Dec. 1725, and he d. 19 Sept.
