Many descendants removed to New Milford, Conn. My branch to Bradford County, Pa. then to St Clair County, Illinois then to California around the time of the gold rush(1847-1853) . I'm member 62366. I have my big Y Ydna at ftdna. Thomas's brother, John(jr), was born in Windsor 1641 and was killed by Indians in 1704 near Deerfield, Mass. The father; John, was lost at sea in 1647 on the Ghost ship of New Haven , Conn. He came to Mass. Bay Colony with the John Winthrop Fleet some time 1630-39. I have a difficult time navigating wikitree. This is the first time I have searched it for Thomas and BINGO! Lets talk. My contact info is @ 62366. PS. I have contact with a distant cousin in Ohio who is descended from the father; John Taylor, but he doesn't do email. Russ
