• Notes

  Thomas ran an apothecary at the sign of the Three Fawns on Old Bailey Street. Thomas and his family lived in the cramped town house above his apothecary shop in the Old Bailey area of London. He was well educated and relatively prosperous. It was probably because he was a Puritan that he refused a knighthood to the King who had married a Roman Catholic. “Bromsgrove gentlemen fined for refusing a knighthood: The following is a list of gentlemen belonging to Bromsgrove who were fined for not taking the order of Knighthood on the coronation of Charles 1st (1626) Roger Lowe, John Crabbe, Walter Brace, Thomas Fownes – 10 pounds sterling each. Nicholas Lilley 9.6 .8 pounds sterling. John Westwood and Richard Burford 12 pounds sterling each.” William H. Whitmore, "Notes on the Winthrop Family and its English Connections, viz: The Families of Forth, Clopton, Tyndale and Fones," NEHG Register, vol. 18, Apr 1864, p. 185.
