Notes

Seven children were born to Thomas & Dorothy prior to their coming to America in 1638; three children are known to have come with them. (source: Genealogy of the Bliss Family p. 33)

"Thomas took the freeman's oath 18 May 1642 at Cambridge, MA, and was one of 58 settlers to locate at Rehoboth in 1643 . . . After obtaining a grant of land from the Plymouth Colony and purchasing it from the Indians, they fixed upon the name 'Rehoboth' seeing it as a fit description of their situation (Gen 26:20-22 and Gen. 36:37)."
