• Notes

  Thomas Wickham was born in October 1651 in New Haven, Connecticut. He was the son of Thomas Wickham and Sarah Goodrich. He had an older brother that had been named Thomas, but the little boy had only lived a few months. He had four younger brothers and three younger sisters. His parents had been born in England and had arrived in America a few years before Thomas was born. Thomas married Mary Hurlbut in June 1673 in Wethersfield, Connecticut. He was 22, she was about 18. They had nine children; Thomas 1674, William 1676, (died when 12 years old), Giodeon 1678 (died when 4 years old), Sarah 1682, Ann 1684, Mary 1687, William 1688, Elizabeth 1690, and Gideon about 1692. All the children were born in Wethersfield. Thomas along with his father purchased land in Eastbury (then a parish of Glastonbury) in 1673. He probably resided on this property which was part of the original town of Wethersfield. There is record that Thomas bought "All the tools" in his father in laws blacksmith "shop". "An agreement is betweene old Goodm. Hurlbutt of Wethersfield in the Collony of Conecticott in New England on the one party; and Thomas Wickham Junior of the same Towne and Collony on the other party as followeth; Viz, I the said Thomas Hurlbutt Senior Doe by these presents and for an In Consideration of a summe of money paid to me by my sone Thomas Wickham the Receipt whereof I acknowledge as may appeare by my sone Wickham;s Bill given to timothy hide for me. I the said Thomas Hurlbutt Doe by these presents bind over to my lvoeing sonne Thomas Wickham all my tools in my shop to say my Anvill hamers groat and small also my Bickorne and whatever else of tools in my shop Though not named as also two cowes which are now in my possession to him the sd. Thomas Wickham his heires, Executors, Adminitrators or Assigns." In 1673 a committee from Wethersfield purchased land from the "Indian Sachems". It was "scituate and being on the east side of Connecticut River". In April 1701, the land was distributed. There was a piece "8 rods wide for a highway", but the rest was distributed by drawing lots. 114 pieces were distributed, Thomas Wickham Sr. received parcel 97 consisting of 189 acres, 94 rods. The tax Thomas had to pay for this was 5 shillings, 3 pence. Thomas was left a widower in January 1701 when Mary died. He lived another 29 years and no record has been found that he remarried. Thomas died in April 1730 in Wethersfield. He was 79. Thomas was buried in the Old Cemetery in Wethersfield. His headstone is still standing (2010). An inventory of his estate was taken in June 1730. It was valued at 61 pounds, 7 shillings, 2 pence, and was taken by Martin Kellogg and Joseph Woodhouse. Gideon Wickham was listed as the original administrator, but was "discharged from his bond", since he lived in Nassau, New York. The new administrator was Benjamin Deming, a son in law to Thomas.
