Biography

From https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/4:1:L5T2-77V

Thomas Morris (1608-1638) was born in Waltham Abbey, England, the son of William Morris (1582-1607) and his wife Elizabeth (Wright) Morris (1586-1638). Thomas came to Massachusetts in 1630. On 24 August 1629, in Waltham, Holy Cross, England, Thomas married Grace Hewsone (1610- ). They came to Massachusetts in 1630. I conclude that Thomas was buried in the Kings Cross Burying ground because - founded in 1630 - it was the city's only burying ground for 30 years, and Thomas died within that time frame. Thomas Morris died in 1638 in Boston, Massachusetts.
