Notes - [Graham-Smith01272003.GED] In January 1
[Graham-Smith01272003.GED] In January 1554, when Queen Mary's intention to marry Philip II of Spain was announced, Sir Thomas joined a planned insurrection against the queen. His allies in other parts of the country were arrested or dispersed, but Wyatt raised a small army in Kent. Troops were sent against him at Rochester, but most of them deserted to Sir Thomas' side. He set out for London and arrived early in February, but defections and the loyalty of Londoners to Queen Mary prevented him from capturing her and taking the city. He surrendered and was executed as a traitor. It was supposed by many that Princess Elizabeth was involved, but Wyatt's last statement exonerated her.

Thomas Brundage, the earliest known anc
Thomas Brundage, the earliest known ancestor of this family served as church warden in 1593, 1595, and 1605. In 1608, he served as constable. Thomas "Brundish" was assessed one shilling as a "rate made by the church wardens and overseers of the said town of the inhabitants and landowners there towards the relief of the poor of said town on the 28th of May 1645". His son emigrated about 1632 from Felsham Parish, England and landed in Salem, Massachusetts. John is listed as a tanner and made a freeman at Watertown in 1635, and in 1636 lived on Sandy Lane in Wethersfield, Connecticut. He died in 1639 by suicide, without a will. His estate was valued at 174 pounds in chattels and 130 pounds in home and land. The chattel included books as well as tools. Rachel was granted the chattel, and the real estate was to be the children's portion when they reached 16 years. The land was sold before May 1641, presumably when Rachel moved to Fairfield with her second husband John Hoyt.
