| Notes |
- BIRTH: Thomas's place as a son of Peter Blossom of Gt. Shelford and Stapleford is not proved but seems highly probable. Thomas married at Cambridge in 1605, but his baptism is not found in any of the Cambridge parishes. It is known that Peter Blossom's widow Annabel married Richard Bracher at nearby Stapleford and removed to Cambridge where Richard Bracher died. Annabel was granted administration of the estate of Richard Bracher of Cambridge on 4 Oct 1617. The will of Peter Blossom of Stapleford, 12 June 1597, proved 16 Jul 1597 mentions minor children but does not name them, suggesting he had children younger than those found in the par reg of Great Shelford (Consistory Court of Ely, reg wills, V:367 [FHL #173476]). It is also noteworthy that Thomas named one of his own sons Peter, which was unusual for a devout Puritan unless the child was named for a close family member. Puritans generally avoided the name Peter, as it smacked of the papacy. For additional discussion, see John I. Coddington and Maclean W. McLean, "The Blossom Family of Cambridgeshire, England, and New England," part 1, TAG, 63(1988):65-77 (FHL #974 D25aga).
MAR: St. Clement's, Cambridge par reg (FHL #1040438).
DEATH: William T. Davis, BRADFORD'S HISTORY OF PLYMOUTH PLANTATION (NewYork, 1908), 302 (FHL #974.4 H2bw). Thomas Blossom's death is also refered to in a letter from Rev. Ralph Smith of Plymouth, New England to Rev. Hugh Goodyear of Leyden, Holland, 1 Jul 1633, published in D. Plooij, THE PILGRIM FATHERS FROM A DUTCH POINT OF VIEW (New York, 1932), 100-102 (FHL #974 D3p). The original letter is in the Goodyear Papers, New York University Library.
OCC: Deacon of the Plymouth church.
