Timothy Thrall was born is Windsor, Connecticut. He was married to Deborah Gunnon 10 November 1659. Deborah was the daughter of Thomas Gunn who came over from England with Timothy's father and the Dorchester Company in 1630. In the Windsor Church records of this period Timothy Thrall is grouped with the men who had a family, a horse and two yokes of oxen, so it would appear that he was a better businessman than his brother-in-law, John Hosford Hosford, however, is on two military lists. First on a list dated 11 March 1658 of 37 Windsor men in thefirst horse troops (30 horse) in the colony. Second, he was paid 6s 8d for fighting in King Philip's War.

Both men protested the town vote to invite Mr. Chauncy to replace the aging Rev. Wareham as minister of the Windsor Church in 1662. When the 54 dissenting members were allowed to form their own church, thebrothers-in-law went with them and became leaders of the Second Church. This new congregation were more Presbyterian than Congregational, and opposed to Chauncy's ideas. This sort of schism was occuring throughout all the New England colonies and therefore the Windsor dissenters, when they appealed to the ColonialCouncil, were less harshly treated than they might have been. In the end, afteryears of wrangling, which split the town, the two Windsor Churches reunited The first overtures were made by the Second Church, who sent John Hosford, Timothy Thrall and Jacob Gibbs to negotiate.

Timothy Thrall was a land-owner. He had his own place, or did soon after his marriage in 1659. His father-in-law, Thomas Gunn, gave him the original Gunn homestead and lot, as well as Gunn's landon the other side of the River. Timothy moved to a new house and again he wasa leader in the forming of a new Church. Timothy was, we assume, honest and able, as he was named as executor in several wills.

Deborah Gunn Thrall is mentioned in Old Windsor records. Her father moved in 1665, to Westfield, Mass. andbecame active in the Westfield Parish, leaving all his Windsor property to hisson-in-law. Thomas Gunn died in Westfield on 26 February 1681. Timothy Thralland Deborah had eleven children. Two died in infancy.

BIOGRAPHY: William Thrall
William Thrall is the founder of the Thrall family in the United States. He was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshiure, England and came to the Colonies on the 'Mary and John' in the year 1630. The Mary and John was a vessel of four hundred tons captained by a man named Squeb and the vessel sailed with 180 passengers.

BIOGRAPHY: William was part of a company of Puritans under the leadership of Rev. John Wareham of Exeter and Rev. John Meverick, both ministers of the Church of England Setting sail from Plymouth, England on 20 March, they first came ashore on 30 May 1630. They disembarked with what goods they had, to some high land in the salt meadow, now a part of the city of Boston. They named the place Dorchester, which was selected by the captain of the "Mary and John" as he came from Dorchester, England. Page 277 of Prince's Chronology of New England records May 30, Lord's Day. Mr. Wareham and his church, and their goods, were put ashore at Nantasket Point. The went immediately to Charlestown, and from thence to Mattepan, and began a town and named it Dorchester, and the native Indians were kind to them.


BIOGRAPHY: Revs. Wareham and Meverick and their group stayed in Dorchester less than five years, as anumber of their menfolk had discovered more fertile land below the first fallsof the Connecticut River, at the junction of the Farmington River just above Hartford. Part of the Colony went by boat and the remainder traveled across theone hundred miles of virgin forest, to establish the town of Windsor. Windsor was unofficially known as Thrallville in the early years.

BIOGRAPHY: The first we know of William Thrall is that he is listed with the following men who were among the thirty men who went from Windsor to join in the fight against the Pequod Indians in May 1637. Capt. John Mason, Sgt. Benedict Alvord, Thomas Barber, Thomas Buckland, George Chappel, John Dyer, James Eggleston, Nathaniel Gillet, Thomas Gridley, Thomas Styles, Sgt. Thomas Stares, Richard Osborn, Thomas Parsons, William Thrall. The Indian village in this case was so completely destroyed that for many years, the settlers had no further trouble with the Indians.Some years later, the participants were given land grants. To quote from Dr. Styles records with regard to the first Indian war in New England, The danger wasimminent, and so complete the victory that it caused universal rejoicing throughout New England, and a grant of land was given each soldier and officer, andto this day the memory of an ancestor who was in the Pequod fight, is an honorable heirloom in every Connecticut family.

BIOGRAPHY: William Thrall is mentioned many times in the early records. His lot shows up in the first plot of Windsor, between the lots of Nicholas Palmer and Thomas Bascomb, and ran from theroad to the Farmington River. In 1646, William sold this lot to Nicholas Palmerand moved to Simon Hoyte's place, north of the village. Robert Wilson bought ahalf interest with William in the Hoyte's 80 acres, but sold his half to Thrall in 1654. This 80 acres has been part of the holdings of the Thrall family ever since.

BIOGRAPHY: William Thrall was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England, and died on 3 August 1679 in Windsor, Connecticut, America.

William Thrall was born in England in 1605, and in 1630 became a member of theCongregational Church, which was formed in Plymouth, England, under the ministry of Rev. John Wareham. On March 20, of that year, a company set out from Plymouth in the "Mary and John" and were put ashore at Nantasket Point, Massachusetts, May 30. Mr. Wareham and the larger part of his congregation settled at Windsor, Connecticut, in 1635, and William Thrall was probably among these. He took an active part in the Pequot War, and in 1646 purchased land in Windsor, where he settled with his family. AS this location was distant from any neighborsand exposed to attacks from the Indians, he was exempted from the duties of "watch and ward," to which all able-bodied men of the settlement were liable. This location has ever since been occupied by his descendants, who have maintained the reputation of the family for thrift, industry, public spirit and all thatconstitutes good citizenship. He contributed two shillings and six pence to the Connecticut Relief Fund for the benefit of the poor in other colonies. Hiswife, "Old Goode (y) Thrall," died July 30, 1676. They had sons, Timothy and David.
