Biography

Thomas, son of Richard and Christian (Hunt or Hunter) More, was baptized in Salem, MA on March 6, 1642. He was living in 1650 but no further records can be found.[1]

Per Mayflower Bastard p. 237 n6 the last indisputable sign of Thomas More comes in 1670, when "Thomas More of Salem" petitioned an Ipswich court for an ordinary to be opened.
