• Notes

  Thomas, a master cutler, was reputed to have been a supporter of Cromwe l l . A c c ording to genealogy published by Theodore A. Bingham (The Bingha m F a m i l y of Connecticut), Thomas fled England with his family at the ti me o f t h e R e storation, but died on the voyage over in 1659. This often- rep ea t e d f amily tradition is apparently erroneous. The recent Bingham g en e a l o gy, compiled by Donna Bingham Munger and published in 1996 by the B i n g h a m Asssociation, notes, with ample proof, that Thomas died in 1649, n o t i n 1 6 5 9. Moreover, it is not at all certain, according to Munger, th a t A n n e a nd Thomas Jr. emigrated as late as 1659: it could have been an y t i m e a f ter 1651. It is also possible that Anne married William Backus b e f o r e s he emigrated. Backus was also a cutler of Sheffield, and his fir s t w i f e , Elizabeth, died and was buried in Sheffield on 19 February 164 4 .
