  • Notes 
    • From FindaGrave:

      Thanks to member Susan C. Miller, #48225169, for this information: the date of his baptism was 2 Apr 1615, per the record found in Kent, England, Tyler Index to Parish Registers, 1538-1874 for Thomas Stowe.

      Thanks to member Margie Strees #40722145 for suggesting adding more information about him. The following data are documented in "Middletown Upper Houses - A History of the North Society of Middletown, CT, from 1650 to 1800..." by Charles Collard Adams, , New York, Grafton Press, 1906. "The Stow Family" was transcribed by Coralynn Brown:

      Thomas Stowe, Sr. came to America with his parents from Hawkhurst, County Kent, England, embarking on the ship Elizabeth, Apr. 9, 1634, and arriving in New England May 17. "He rem.[removed], 1648, to Concord, Mass. ; freeman 1653. Rem. 1669 to Middletown, his brother Samuel having come as early as 1652, preached for some years without a church being organized and gave lands for schools, dying in 1704. Thomas was received to the church by letter from Concord, Nov. 14, 1669...."

      The subsequent quote was not cited with a source and it refers to "ch. of X at Concord" and my guess is that the "X" stands for "Christ." If anyone has any information to the contrary, or to clarify, please contact me.

      "...'Being the Lord's Day Mr. Thomas Stow & Mary his wife with all theirs being recommended to us by letter from ch. of X at Concord.' He died Feb. 1684."
