Notes:
Residence: "Thomas came to America with his parents about 1638 and was granted a house-lot adjacent to that of his father in Hartford in 1640. Sometime thereafter, Thomas Jr. removed to Saybrook, Connecticut. Though the "Bliss Genealogy" of 1881 states that this occurred after his father's death , it is more likely that Thomas removed to Saybrook in about 1644, where his marriage to Elizabeth is recorded, as are the births of six of their children. At Saybrook his allotment of land was east of the Connecticut River, in what is now Lyme. He sold this land July 23, 1662 to John Comstock and Richard Smith, having removed with his family to Norwich, Connecticut two or three years previous. His homestead at Norwich was still occupied by his descendants in 1880, seven generations of the same name having successively inherited the homestead and dwelt therein."
