    Notes:

    RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 19, p. 293 gives Sarah's maiden name as Wright, and says she was born c1626. However, I believe this year is ony a guess; therefore, I have adjusted the estimate a bit based on their first child being born in 1664. I do not know whether they had any other children born prior to Thomas.
