This profile was created as an unsourced, alleged parent of Rhode Island immigrant Thomas Olney with the notes appended below.

In "Gleanings from English Records about New England families," by James A. Emmeston and Henry F. Waters, published by the Essex Institute, there is a record of a will, made in 1615, by Robert Longe of Leeton, Bedford County, England, by which he gives to a relative 5^2 acres of land, purchased of Thomas Olney. This may have been the father of the Thomas Olney who came to America in 1635.

Found in A Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas Olney, by James H. Olney, 1889.
