• Notes

  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. source: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/historical/southernnewyork/s_ny_40.htm
