| Thomas Welles Birth: 1584 - England Death: 14 Jan 1659 (aged 74–75) - Wethersfield, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA Burial: Ancient Burying Ground, Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA Memorial ID: 29066320 GOVERNOR THOMAS WELLES, the son of ROBERT WELLES and his wife, ALICE (HUNT) WELLES of Stouton, Wichford, Warwickshire, England, married ALICE TOMES in July of 1615 in Long Marston, Gloucestershire, England, daughter of John Tomes and Ellen (Gunne) Phelps, 1615 in Long Marston, Gloucestershire. She was born in Long Marston, and died before 1646 in Hartford, Conn.. He is known for being the fourth Governor of the Colony of Connecticut elected in 1655 and 1658. Thomas, his wife and most of his children, arrived in Boston prior to 1636 when he had a land deed witnessed, but he is probably not the Thomas Welles who came in the Susan & Ellen in 1635. He had a relationship with Lords Saye and Sele, but the nature of this relationship is not known. He was probably one of the group of about 100 settlers who came to Hartford with Thomas Hooker in 1636. He served a total of nineteen years in various offices in the Colony of Connecticut. He is the only man in Connecticut to hold all four top offices: governor, deputy governor, treasurer, and secretary. As Magistrate, he sat on the panel over the witchcraft trials of Mary Johnson, John & Joan Carrington, and Lydia Gilbert. He transcribed the Fundamental Orders into the official colony records as Secretary of the Colony. The family lived on the same street in Hartford as Governors Edward Hopkins, George Wyllys, John Webster, and Thomas H. Seymour. This street was known as Governor Street but was changed to PopieluskoCourt and may be called by another name now. After the death of Alice in 1646 in Hartford, he married Elizabeth Deming, sister of John Deming and widow of Nathaniel Foote. At the time of his marriage,they removed to Wethersfield, where he lived until his death. It is said that his remains were transfered to the ancient burial ground in Hartford. Many of the very oldest tombstones in Hartford wereused for foundations of homes. Although there is no tombstone remaining, his name appears on the Founders Monument in this cemetery. This is a Cenotaph since his grave is in Wethersfield. I am descended from two of his known six children: MARY (WELLES) BALDWIN and JOHN WELLES. Their other children: Capt. Samuel Welles, Thomas Welles, Sarah (Welles) Chester, and Ann (Welles) Thompson Hawkins. Wenn es um die Verwaltung, Erstellung und Wartung der Webseite geht, wird Find A Grave weitgehend von seinem Gründer, Jim Tipton betrieben. Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
