He was at Hartford with his father and shortly after his father's death, he
moved to Saybrook.

!History of Norwich, Connecticut: From its Possession by the Indians, to the
Year 1866, Frances Manwaring Caulkins, 1976, page 167: Thomas Bliss, Senior
and Junior, had house-lots and divisions of land in Hartford, as early as 1640.
The senior died in Hartford, leaving nine children, and his widow, Margaret,
apparently a woman of resolute, independent character, removed with the younger
part of the family to Springfield. Thomas Bliss, Junior, is afterwards found
at Saybrook, where his marriage and the births of six children are recorded.
The list is repeated with some variation of date and the addition of two more
children, at Norwich. The wife's family name is not given in either place.
"Thomas and Elizabeth Bliss were married the latter end of October, 1644."
The allotments of Thomas Bliss in Saybrook were eastward of the river in
what is now Lyme. His house-lot of thirty acres lay between John Ompsted
(Olmstead) on the north, and John Lay south. He sold it, July 23, 1662, to
John Comstock. His home-ot in Norwich was also near to that of John Olmstead,
extending originally, at the north-west, to the pent highway. That part where
the house stands, has never been alienated. Seven generations have dwelt on
the same spot, and the house is supposed not to have been entirely rebuilt
since it wa erected by the first proprietor.
Thomas Bliss died April 15, 1688. His will, executed two days before his
death, was proved at New London, before Edward Palmes, June 13, and allowed by
Sir Edmun Adross at Boston; this being the period when that delegated despot
arrogated to himself supreme authority over the courts of New England. The
will recognizes wife Elizabeth, son Samuel, and six daughters. His oldest son,
Thomas, had died without issue, Jan. 29, 1681. Elizabeth the relict, died Feb.
28, 1699-1700.
Samuel Bliss married, Dec. 8, 1681, Anna, daughter of John Elderkin. Five
of his daughters married as follows: Elizabeth married Edward Smith of New
London, June 7, 1663. Sarah married 1st, Thomas Sluman, Dec., 1668; 2d,
Solomon Tracy. Deliverance (recorded also Deliver and Dolinda) married Josiah
Rockwell, 1688. Rebecca, the youngest daughter, born in 1663, had not been
traced.
In the inventory of Thomas Bliss, his estate is estimated at 182.17.7
pounds. He had land, besides his home-lot, over the river, - on the Little
Plain, - at the Great Plain, - at the Falls, - in Yantie meadow, - in meadow at
Beaver Brook, - in pasture east of the town, - and on Westward hill.
This illustrated the prudential course of the early rulers of the
plantation in regard to the common lands. They were divided in small
quantities at short intervals, corresponding to the growth and necessities of
the town and the ability of the owners to clear them up and place them under
cultivation.
