| BIRTH | Thomas was born ca. 1657 in Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH[5]. |
| DEATH | Thomas died in Newbury, Essex co., MA on 7 November 1734; he was 77[5,24]. His identity is confirmed because he is listed as "s. Henry and Ann" in his Newbury Death Record[24]. |
| OCCUPATIONS | Thomas' occupation is given as Farmer[5]. |
| TOWN SERVICE | In Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH, he served on the petit jury in 1693, 1695 & 1696 and on the grand jury in 1694. He was constable there in 1697 and Selectman in 1703[5]. |
| RESIDENCE | Thomas supposedly lived in Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH his entire life[5]. However, he and his (second?) wife lived with or near Thomas' son Joshua and his family in Newbury, Essex co., MA at the time of his death in 1734 and through her death in 1753. |
| MARRIAGE #1 | Sometime before 1683 when Thomas was 26, he married Mary FROST, in Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH[4,10,11,15]. She was born in 1659 and died on 25 February 1753; she was 94[5]. |

| MARRIAGE #2 | I think that Thomas second married Anna [surname not known]. She is only known via her death record in Newbury where she is listed as "Beck, Anna, wid. Thomas, Feb. 25 1753, a. 94 y."[24] She would have been born circa 1659 and died in Newbury, Essex co., MA on 25 February 1753; she was 94. It could be that she was Mary, but Anna is an unusual variant of the name. |
