  • Notes 
    • Thomas became blind in his later years, but was skilled enough to cut his own tombstone (see Diman genealogy by Dorothy Chapman Saunders, Ph.D.). He died at the age of 90.

      Information on the baptism of Thomas & Salome's four older children was found in "Genealogies of RI Families, Vol. II," p. 395 (on Family Tree Maker CD 180).
