10. | Thomas EMERSON (3.Susanna2, 1.John1) was christened on 26 Jul 1584 in Bishops Stortford, Heretfordshire, England; died on 1 May 1666 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts. Notes:
Several sites give he and his wife's christening/birth dates on the same day in towns that were 135 miles apart though this believed to be an error in transcription along the way. His wife's birthdate is not known. It has been proven that Major-General Denison, a close friend of Thomas, who was mentioned in Thomas' will, emigrated from Bishop's-Stratford. Thomas Emerson was probabably born in Sedsfield Parish, Durham, England. He was baptized at Bishop's-Stratford, England, July 26, 1584 and was married July 1, 1611 in that parish to Elizabeth Brewster. Their children were recorded in St. Michael's Church at Bishop's Stratford as: Robert, Benjamin, Ralph, James, Joseph, Elizabeth, John, Thomas, Nathaniel and Susan. According to the church warden's book of St. Michael's, he is recorded as a collector for the poor in 1636. He was at Ipswich, Massachusetts, as early as 1638, when 80 acres of land was granted to him. English records indicate the family was non-conformist.
Thomas married Elizabeth BREWSTER on 1 Jul 1611. Elizabeth was born before 1598 in of Scrooby, Bassetlaw District, Nottinghamshire, England; died on 10 Aug 1638 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
