Notes
John Thomas Sr. came to Queen's Creek, York County, Virginia in 1610 from the Bermuda Islands with Sea-Grant Samuel Sharpe and previously from England. He settled in Queen’s Creek, York Co VA.456
The Bermuda Island was first settled accidentally by a ship on its way to Virginia, being wrecked on its shores in 1610. Some of the people so shipwrecked remained in the Bermudas and some were later rescued and went on to Virginia -- John Thomas may have been one of those.
comments
From Geni member Daniel Byron Thomas Jan 2016:
"I believe John Thomas Jr's mother was named Dorothy, but he was married to Elinor Montague. Most sources list their marriage as having taken place in 1647. John Jr's son, Richard, was born in 1629 so it is possible John Jr's first wife was Dorothy Jordan, but I think more research is required to determine the birth and death dates for Dorothy Jordan to cast her definitively as either a mother or wife to John Thomas Jr. The problem has more to do with two John Thomas names showing up in most ancestry.com trees without distinctions between John Thomas Sr and John Thomas Jr and Dorothy gets passed back and forth between the two John's. Many trees list John Thomas Sr as John David Thomas Sr which should make his son John David Thomas Jr. In any case, I feel Dorothy of Cymru (no last name in Wales) may have been Dorothy Jordan through a marriage prior to her marriage with John Thomas Sr. As the story goes (as told by Rev William Thomas in "Virginia Gold"), John Thomas Sr may have fathered John Jr before leaving on the ill-fated Sea Venture that floundered onto Bermuda and was feared missing from September 1609 through May 1610. Dorothy married a British sailor who was lost, himself, at sea, leaving Dorothy widowed for a time."
