• Notes

  Thomas moved to Lyme, Conn., about 1736-37. About 1740, he married Sarah Clark of Colchester, CT. She died on 8 Feb 1766 or 1776. Thomas moved from Lyme to Ellington in 1745 or 1746, then a parish of East Windsor, where he died on 27 January 1777. In 1886, his gravestone was still standing. Thomas was a large landholder. In 1886, his granddaughter, Mrs. Eliza H. Baird, of Hartford, CT, had in her possession a deed for 100 acres of land situated in what was then Rockville, in Vernon, CT, on the border of Ellington, which Thomas purchased in 1761 for 65 pounds. The deed was recorded in Boston, MA. Thomas also established iron works in Lyme and Ellington.
