Thomas' reason for leaving England is entirely speculative. As he did not become a church member until 1690[2] it would appear his departure was unlikely to have been motivated by religious persecution. Often repeated family lore would have us believe he left for love. This period in England was one of economic depression and great numbers of young men left seeking better fortune. Absent documentation or indications of religious or romantic reasons, it would appear seeking better economic furtune was the most probable reason for leaving England.
