    Thomas married Patience Chadbourne, daughter of William Chadbourne, likely in England. The couple's first child is estimated to have been born around 1630. Thomas was part of a group of adventurers who sailed on the barque "Warwick" in 1630, aiming to establish a settlement, trade with Native Americans, and obtain lumber. They settled around the Piscataqua and Newichawannock rivers. Thomas's wife, Patience, probably joined him the following year.

    In 1633, Thomas returned to England and came back to the colonies on the "Pied Cow" in 1634, bringing supplies, more men, and materials for two mills. He initially settled at the falls of Asbenbedick and later inherited a large house and half of a mill at "Great Works" from his father-in-law.  Thomas was a planter and timber harvester, floating timber down the river and sawing it at his mill. He also became a tavern keeper. In 1652, he signed the official document submitting to Massachusetts' governance. However, in 1659, he was disenfranchised for entertaining Quakers, indicating possible Quaker sympathies. We are descended from this couple on both the Wright (Tucker) line and Laviolette (DeRochemont) line.

    In colonial America, taverns, public houses, and inns were more than mere establishments for lodging and refreshment; they were vital social and economic centers that played a significant role in the fabric of early American society. The ancestors who owned and operated these venues were key figures in their communities, providing essential services and facilitating important social interactions.

    As the social hubs of their communities, these establishments offered a space for diverse groups - from local farmers to traveling merchants - to gather, exchange news, and engage in lively debates. They were the communal living rooms of the era, where relationships were formed and strengthened. In an age before widespread literacy and mass communication, taverns and inns served as crucial channels for the dissemination of news and information, including political and economic developments.

    Economically, taverns and public houses were cornerstones of colonial commerce. They functioned not only as places of rest and sustenance for travelers but also as venues for business transactions and trade negotiations. Politically, they played an understated yet critical role. In the turbulent times leading up to the American Revolution, these establishments often became hotbeds of political discussion and activity, laying the groundwork for the democratic ideals that would shape the nation.

  • Notes 
    • After Thomas' death in Dec 1681, Patience may have continued to operate the tavern.
