Thomas Huxley. He died July 21, 1721, at Suffield, Mass. While first stated, it was not his first act. Of his origin and youth the compiler has not found anything which can he relied on to show this. He appeared at the wedding at the residence of Thomas Spencer in Hartford, Conn., in May, 1667, and married Sarah Spencer, but from whence he came to the colony or how old he was remains a sealed book. Judging from his death, he was then between 20 and 30 years of age, and may have been born in the colonies about 1640-5, or he may have been the immigrant ancestor who arrived quite young. His name appears in Savage's Genealogical Dictionary in volume 2 at page 514, as one of the original settlers of the Hartford colony, and the names of his wife and children are correctly given, but no intimation is given from whence he came or who his ancestors were. There was a bequest of a gun to him in the will of John Wakeman, at that time treasurer of New Haven, probated in Hartford, in 1661, which was written in New Haven in 1660, and which indicates that he was in New Haven in 1660, and in the employ of John Wakeman, and in that year he took the oath of Fidelity in New Haven. John Wakeman removed from New Haven to Hartford in 1661, and died there. Since it appears that Thomas was in his employ at that time and not married, it is highly probable he also went with Wakeman to Hartford, but how he came to be in New Haven in 1660 and before, is the 'Stone wall' up against which the compiler has landed in this search, without the means of passing over."
