The second reference also references Sarah Miller as the mother and is probably the more reliable for this

Thomas, born June, 1646, removed to Nantucket about 1670 and took up his father's share as a settler. There he married Elizabeth Bunker, and four of his six known children are recorded as born there. In 1677, Richard Swain sold Thomas his house and lot to take care of him. Thomas never held any town office in Nantucket. About 1681 he sold all of his lands on Nantucket.Nantucket Lands and Landowners, Volume 2, Issue 1

The date of his removal to Tisbury may be placed about 1685-6, as he made the first purchase of land in town on Feb. 15, 1686, acquiring of Joseph Merry the valuable water and mill privilege on the Tiasquin which his descendants improved for over a century.
