Notes for Thomas Pember:
Savage, (V.3, pg 387) says Thomas Pember was in New London, 1686. He had baptized in 1692 three children: Mercy, Thomas and Elizabeth. In 1694 Ann was baptized; 1696, John was baptized. Only four of these, with wife Agnes, were living at his death by drowning September 22, 1711 (body found September 29, 1711, see Joshua Hempstead's diary). IGA says Thomas Pember was born in County Hereford, England. He first appears on New London records as a freeman and voter in 1686, and in the list of new inhabitants between 1670 and 1700, "Pember, Thomas, 1686." He lived near Nehantic Bay.
One researcher wrote: "He and his twin brother Henry, lived in London, England. He was enticed by the captain of a merchant vessel to come on board. The captain detained them and took them to America. He sent a letter home and received a response that his mother nearly mourned herself to death over the loss. She referred to her sons as Thomas and Henry in the letter."
A John Pember and wife Ann christened their son Thomas on Feb. 17, 1667 in Kington, county Hereford, Eng (Parish registers for Kington, 1667-1957).
