• Notes

  There are no records that call him a son of Samuel. Perhaps Thomas was the son of a previous wife. I can't seem to get the dates to work otherwise. I figure if he was taxed, he would have been at least 21 which would make him born in the late 1660s. If Mary Cate's father was born in 1634, and Mary's brother Edward was born about 1655, Mary could have been born no later than 1656, which puts her at about 13 or 14 when Thomas was born. There seems to be an age gap between Thomas and Samuel which could be explained by Thomas being the son of an earlier wife of Samuel's. Samuel certainly was old enough to have had a prior wife.
