Born: 1632-00-00 England
Died: 1684-05-00 Anne Arundel Co, Maryland USA
Marriages:
1. about 1659-00-00 Isabel Holland
Children of Thomas Parsons and Isabel Holland:
Notes:
Most likely he was born in England, but it is not certain.
--
Genforum messages say he lived in Accomack Co VA and Elizabeth City VA before moving to MD.
--
"History and Genealogy of the Caples Family and Allied Families of Maryland" says that he immigrated to MD in 1649.
--
Some RootsWeb trees say he was born in Anne Arundel Co MD 1630, 1632, or 1635.
--
A lot of trees give his parents as Thomas Parsons + Lydia Brown.
Genforum message 1707 says Thomas s/o Thomas + Lydia was born 1645 and married Sarah Dare.
My guess would be that there were two Thomas Parsons immigrants: one 1635 to VA who married Lydia Brown, and this one 1649 to MD.
