Thomas had two marriages prior to marrying Hannah Chawkley. The name of his first wife is not recorded. His second wife was Sarah Deardes who died in 1628. He had three children from his first two marriages, and one of these children lived to adulthood; that son, Thomas, if he came to New England, had returned to England by the time of his father's death. Our ancestor, Daniel, is the first child from his third marriage.
