About Thomas Oxford

On 10 September 1661 John’s brother Thomas (b. 1641) also immigrated to Virginia. The “Bristol Register of Servants Sent to Foreign Plantations” by Peter Wilson Oldham reports “Thomas Oxford to John Smith, 5 years, Virginia, 10 September 1661.” Thomas is apprenticed in Bristol England and transported to John Smith in Virginia to serve as an apprentice. Thomas arrived in the Northern Neck of Virginia where his brother John had earlier landed but in 1671 he moved across the bay to Somerset County Maryland with his wife Susan. By 1675 he was listed as selling tobacco. In 1683 he purchased land. He died 26 May 1721 in Somerset County Maryland. Thomas had two daughters, Comfort and Ann Mary, and one son who did not marry.

NB: the location, and naming a daughter "Comfort", suggests a Quaker influence (wife Susan?).
