says his gr.-st. in his 85th yr. THOMAS, Fairfield 1645, was a lieut. in
1653, came from Concord with first sett. bring. w. Ann, and ch. prob. all
adult, or marriagable, exc. one or two and perhaps his eldest s. Thomas
may not have accomp. the f. At least from his will, pro. 23 Aug. 1654,
wh. we read imperfect. as part of the rec. in this place is burn. it is clear
that the est. in Concord, old homestead, was giv. to Thomas; Fairfield
est. to John; with notice of wid. and three ds. of wh. Hannah, the
eldest, m. a 1639, James Bennett, had two ch. at Concord, and was
now d. leav. four; ano. was Sarah Sherwood; and a third not m. without
name. His wid. in her will of 21 Aug. 1659, pro. Oct. foll. names
eldest s. Thomas, and ch. THOMAS, New Haven, s. it is presum. of
the first Thomas of the same, since they are ment. as tak. o. of fidel.
on the same day, had Thomas, b. 21 Apr. 1652; and certain, one other
ch. if not more, bef. or aft. and d. Dec. 1656, as seems prob. bec. the
inv. of L200, was dat. 2 Jan. foll. His wid. Alce or Alice m. 1657,
Josiah Stanborough, or Stanbury of Southampton, L. I. THOMAS,
Boston 1674, may be the same man as THOMAS, Charlestown, a householder
1677, prob. s. of the first Isaac. THOMAS, Concord, m. 10 Oct.
1657, Hannah Harrod, had Hannah, b. 25 Oct. 1658, d. within 10
mos.; Thomas, 1 Jan. 1660; had John, 2 Sept. 1661; perhaps others;
was tythingman 1680, and freem. 1690. THOMAS, Milford, s. of
Thomas of the same, was propound. for freem. 1671, and liv. there aft.
1687; but no details of his fam. are acquir. Of his cousin, THOMAS,
Milford, s. of William of Stratford, the same deficience is felt. * TIMOTHY,
Concord, freem. 13 May 1640, ens. in 1646, was a capt. late in his
days, bu more oft. call. lieut. on rec. rep. 1663, and very oft. aft. d. 10
July 1687, aged a. 86, as the gr.-st. tells; had Sarah, b. 22 June 1640;
had his w. Jane d. 12 Feb. 1643; and by w. Mary, d. of capt. Thomas
Brooks, had Mary, 3 Oct. 1657, d. at 3 yrs.; Elizabeth 6 Oct. 1661, wh. m.
1678, Eleazer Prout; Rebecca, 1666, wh. m. 1684, James Minot; and
prob. others, perhaps TIMOTHY of Concord, freem. 1677, for one, wh. m.
29 June 1670, Ruth Fuller, and d. 7 June 1678. TIMOTHY, Concord, the
freem. of 1690, had, I suppose, f. of the same town, but my inabil. to
point him out among the scores of Concord Wheelers may be excus.
WILLIAM, Stratford, br. and I think, younger, of Thomas sen. of Milford,
prob. rem. from Concord with him, had w. Sarah, ch. William,
Thomas, and Sarah; rem. to New Jersey, soon fell ill and the w. and
ch. came back aft. his d. in 1666. His inv. was tak. in Nov. He had
made his numcup. will, prob. 9 Aug. 1667, in wh. he gave his prop. to
the w. charg. to bring up the ch. and desir. his br. Thomas to adv. her.
The wid. m. William Brooks; and Sarah m. 6 Nov. 1676, James Briscoe.
