• baptized in Tatham parish (Church of England)
• childrens' births shown in the Bolland Meeting before leaving for Penn. colony
  
  • essentially, the Bolland Meeting was some mile south of the Bentham Meeting. Thomas was of the Bolland, Agnes was of the Bentham. However, most groups of Quakers met in pvt. homes as the meeting houses of later years were yet to be built.
• hundreds of Quaker from these communities were being sent to jail during the mid-to-late 1600s including those of Bentham, Settle, and Bolland.

Birth surname has also been reported to be:

• Hathornethwait
• Hathornwaite

Date and place of death have also been (erroneously?) reported to be October 20, 1686 at Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

~• from A Genealogical and Personal History of Bucks County, Pennsylvania William Watts Hart Davis

" Among the earliest settlers who came with children were: Nicholas and Jane Walne, three, Thomas and Agnes Croasdale, six, Robert and Elizabeth Hall, two, James and Ann Dilworth, one, William and Mary Paxson, one, James and Jane Paxson, two; James and Mary Radcliff, four, Jonathan and Anne Scaife, two, Robert and Alice Heaton, five, Martin and Anne Wildman, with six children. John Eastburn came from the parish of Bingley, county of York, with a certificate from Bradley meeting, dated July 31st, 1684. Johannes Searl was in Middletown prior to 1725, from whose house a road leading to Bristol was laid out that year. Before 1700 Thoms Musgrove owned 500 acres in the township, patented to Hannah Price, and afterward came into the possession of Thomas Jenks."

From an unidentified source:
