About Thomas Platt

Detached from unproven parents, Jonas Platt and Sarah Scudder on July 5, 2016 by Hatte Blejer, volunteer curator.

"From 1712 to 1722 he [Thomas Platt] was living in Burlington County, New Jersey, and some (not all) of his children were baptized at Old St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church at Burlington. It is not likely that we have the full list of his children, nor do we know the date of his death. He had two wives and left children by both. It is possible that he was descended from the Richard Platt who settled in Connecticut in 1638. The " Platt lineage," by Rev. G. Lewis Platt, gives a fairly full description of the sons and grandsons of Richard Platt, and these lists fail to produce any record which makes out the connection between Richard Platt, of Connecticut, and Thomas Platt, of Burlington County, New Jersey; yet, inasmuch as Richard Piatt's descendants passed from Connecticut to Long Island and from there to Monmouth County, New Jersey, it would need only a moderate lack of completeness in the published list of Richard Piatt's descendants to account for the failure to successfully close up the record connection."
