The general belonged to an entirely distinct Thomas family and was de- scended not from William, the ancestor of Nathaniel, but from John, who came an orphan in the ship Hopewell from London in 1635 and also settled in Marshfield. The only connection between the descendants in the present generation of the two ancestors William and John, arises from the marriage of Gen.
