      Thomas Ufford with his wife, Isabel, and children came to American from England on the ship "Lyon" in 1632 with Thomas Hooker's group. The "Lyon" left London on June 22, 1632 and arrived on September 16, 1632 at Boston. The voyage had been 12 weeks aboard and 8 weeks from land's end. Thomas Hooker was a Puritan minister, who was prominent in the affairs of the New England colonies. In 1636, Thomas Hooker persuaded a goup of more than one hundred to follow him westward. He led the group of Bay Colonists westward through the wilderness to the Connnecticut River valley where settlement were founded. Thomas Ufford was made a freeman on 4 March 1632 as Thomas Uffott. He helped found the town of Springfield, Connecticut and signed the Springfield agreement of 14-16 May 1636 by his mark. In the Sprngfield agreement he was assigned a houselot between Thomas Woodford and Henry Smith. On 24 April 1641 he held a house, barn, and four acres in Wethersfield. He held the office of Conecticut Colony juror on 9 Nov. 1643 and Sept. 1644. He was admitted to the Roxbury church as member #39 and was admitted to the Milford church on 11 Feb. 1645. On 20 Aug. 1660 the heirs of "Thomas Uffit of Stanford" reached an agreement on his estate. Those heirs were his widow, his sons, Thomas Uffit of Stratford and John Uffit, and his son-in-law, Roger Terrill. In this agreement the widow of Thomas Ufford is also referred to as, "widow Theale", and the greement was signed by Joseph Theale and William Ratliff, his son and son-in-law by her first husband. On 6 Dec. 1660 an inventory of the estate of Thomas Uffit Sr., deceased, was presented, "so much of it as remained within the bounds of Milford and Stratford, amounting to L289 12s. 7d." attested upon oath by Thomas Uffit Jr. and John Uffitt, that this is a true inventory.
