BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Mar rec, below, states that Thomas was of Oundle, a parish near Thorpe-Achurch. Date of birth is an approximation.
MAR: Thorpe-Achurch par reg (FHL #6129050).
DEATH: No death rec found. Thomas is last mentoned in a 1646 petition located in Massachusetts Archives, 45:11-11a, cited in Winifred L. Holman, "The Meakins Lineage" (typescript, 1958-60; NEHGS, Boston), 2. The bur rec of his wife Katherine at Roxbury suggests that he was now dead: "Katherin Meakins, mother of Thomas, an aged woman," bur 25 Jan 1650/1. Typically, death and burial entries include the name of the spouse of married women. Hence, it is believed that Thomas died 1646-51. It is likely that he died in Braintree. After his death, Katherine went to Roxbury to the home of her son Thomas, who is cited in her bur rec.
