    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth rec found, but Thomas no doubt belongs to the family of Thomas Blossom, the only family of this name in the colony. He must have been born between 1620 and 1625, as Thomas Blossom of Leyden wrote to Gov. William Bradford of Plymouth, 15 Dec 1625: "I have only two children which were born since I left you." ("Governor Bradford's Letter Book," MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, 5[1903]:165-67 [974.4 D25md]). Thomas Blossom was on a list of males aged 16 and over able to bear arms in the town of Barnstable in 1643 (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 8:187-96 [FHL #974.4 N2n]). This confirms that Thomas was born in or before 1627. The family left Leyden in 1629.
      MAR: "Scituate and Barnstable Church Records," NEHGR, 9(1855):286 (FHL #974 B2ne).
      DEATH: Ibid. "Att the Harbour of Nocett att their first Setting out from thence aboute a fishing voyage." Nauset is now called Eastham.
