Biography
Thomas came to New England about 1638 and settled at Rowley, Massachusetts. He was a follower of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, the Puritan rector of Rowley, county York, a parish twelve miles southeast of Everingham. Rev. Rogers gathered a band of Yorkshire Puritans and sailed for New England in 1638, where he founded a plantation named Rowley after his English home.
At Rowley he married (2) Abigail (___) Sumner, widow of Thomas Sumner of Rowley.
On 14 May 1654 widow Abigail Elithorpe, Hugh Smith and John Pickard petitioned for probate of the will of Thomas Elithorpe deceased. The will no longer exists, but the petition mentions eldest son (Nathaniel) and "three youngest children."
