Thomas lived in Great Addington,
Northamptonshire, England and is mentioned in records in
1551, 1559 and 1561. On 19 May 1551 he is cited in a list of
11 names in a Manor Court Roll as a Manorial tenant and
serving on a Manorial Jury. On 10 May 1559 he
witnessed the will of Alexander Bolney of Great Addington.
And on 21 Jul 1561 he witnessed the will of Agnes Bate of
Great Addington. While no proof has been found that he is
the father of Alexander, John and Mary, he certainly appears
to be the most
likely candidate. Most of the information that follows for
the the first four generations of the family in England is
based on research of documents on file in Northampton,
Leicester, Warwick and London, England.
