“Tom” was born in 1634, was apprenticed to his father and followed him into the tailoring trade. He struggled socially, in part because of a speech difficulty, which rendered him less than desirable as a mate. Nor did he husband his business well. At his death 15 March 1664, he left debts of more than £300 and an illegitimate daughter by his maid who had been put in a foster home.
