Thomas was a man of means, position and influence and in 1632 hesent his eldest son Richard, then about 21 years of age to America.Richard settled in Newton MA which afterward became Cambridge. In 1633,Gov. Haynes and the Rev. Thomas Hooker, friends of Thomas sailed forAmerica with about 200 passangers important to the Colony, and it isthought possible that Richard was sent in advance in order to select aplace to settle. In 1636, with his entire family, Thomas joined the partyof Rev. Hooker and Mr. Stone and 100 men, women and children, which tookits departure from Newtown to form a new settlement on the ConnecticutRiver. "They traveled for more than 100 miles, through a hideous andtrackless wilderness to Hartford. They had no guide but their compass,and made their way over mountains, through swamps, thickets and rivers,which were passable with great difficulty. They had no cover but theheavens, and no lodgings but such as nature afforded. They drove withthem 160 head of cattle and subsisted by the way on the milk of theircows. Mrs. Hooker was borne through the wilderness on a litter. Thepeople generally carried their packs, arms and some utensils. They werenearly a fortnight on their journey. This adventure was more remarkableas many of the company were persons of figure, who in EN had lived inhonor, affluence and delicacy and were strangers to fatigue and danger.It was early in June when they reached their journey's end. Their fristlabor was to prepare their dugouts in the hillside and provide shelterfor their cattle. They had for some time been close friends and neighborsin Newtown, and were already organized as a church, had been members oftownships and were familiar, therefore, with action as a body. Theyagreed to purchase a territory jointly and afterwards parcel it out andso purchased a large area. Thomas Lord became an original proprietor andone of the first settlers of Hartford. The Hartford settlers were largelypeople of some culture cast into raw conditions, and there was a minglingof high breeding and rough life". There is a monument erected in Hartfordwith the names of the first members of the first church. Thomas Lord isnamed on it.
