During his very early years, major events were taking place in the colony of New Haven. In 1660, Hopkins School was formed. In 1661, there New Haven harbored the regicides who had a part in the execution of King Charles I in England. Then in 1664, when Thomas was about four or five, the New Haven Colony merged with the Connecticut Colony.
Thomas' wife, Mary Humphreville, was also born in the New Haven Colony, probably in the early 1660's. She was either the daughter or the sister of John Humphreville.
