The estimate of his age at death appears to be high. On 27 August 1667, stating his age as 43 years or thereabouts," he gave a deposition about land prices and rents at Hocknum in a lawsuit between Samuel Wyllys and Mrs. Ursula Gibbons, and he was "about 47" on 10 November 1670 when he testified to Samuel Benjamin's oral will at Hockanum. He married soon after September 1649 the widow ? LOVELAND (sometimes Lovenam). Thomas's "wife" was living 28 June 1667 when Winthrop treated her for a "hurt on side by fall". Jacobus and Waterman showed that widow Loveland had children by her unknown previous husband, surname LOVELAND: Thomas, born ca. 1641 who resided in Glastonbury, May, born ca. 1644 and living at Hockanum in 1663; and John, born "say 1646 but perhaps before 1641," who died in 1670.

Thomas married Widow LOVELAND after Sep 1649. Widow died after 28 Jun 1667. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
