Notes |
- 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.
