| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. The Mathers were said to be an ancient family of Lowton, a village in the parish of Winick. See THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE REVEREND MAN OF GOD, MR. RICHARD MATHER (Cambridge, MA, 1670; repr, Dorchester, MA, 1850), 41 (FHL #1425681 item 2). This work was originally published under the sanction of his grandson Increase Mather, although professedly not written by him. Thomas's birth year is an approximation. It has been published that Thomas is a son of John Mather. See Samuel G. Drake, Pedigree of the Family of Mather," NEHGR, 6(1852):20 (FHL #974 B2ne). Also see Horace E. Mather, LINEAGE OF REV. RICHARD MATHER (Hartford, 1890), 33 (FHL #186133 item 2). The earliest mention of John seems to be in Mrs. Hannah Mather Crocker's "Reminiscences and Traditions of Boston," quoted in "Abstracts of Wills of the Mather Family," NEHGR, 47(1893):340 (FHL #974 B2ne). Mrs. Crocker (1752-1829) is a granddaughter of Rev. Cotton Mather. Research has yet to prove/disprove that John is the father of Thomas.
MAR: Archibald Sparke, ed, THE PARISH REGISTERS OF WARRINGTON, Lancashire Parish Register Society Publications, 70(1933):2 (FHL #942.72 K29pr).
NOTE: It is probable that Thomas had other children besides Richard. Many children of Thomas Mather were baptized at Warrington and Winwick, but it appears that there were two or more contemporary Thomas Mathers, making it difficult to determine which children belong to which Thomas.
