THOMAS SHAILER

  • was born in England, probably during the 1640's.
  • He died about 1692 when he was lost at sea.
  • He married Marah Spencer, the daughter of Gerrard Spencer, and the widow of Thomas Brooks, in April 1670, probably in Haddam, Connecticut. The marriage can be proved by the wills of (Ensign) Gerrard Spencer and his son, John Spencer (Hartford Probate Court Records).

Thomas Shailer reportedly emigrated from Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, although the name was common in the Village of Haddam in Hertfordshire, England. He came to Haddam, Connecticut with the first settlers in 1662--probably from Hartford, Connecticut.

He participated in the division of land in Haddam in 1688, and was propounded for Freeman in 1671.

He apparently lived for a time in Killingworth, Connecticut where the birth of his son, Nathaniel, is recorded. He returned to Haddam and lived there until about 1692 when he sailed for Jamaica in the West Indies. He was never heard of again, and was presumed to have been lost at sea.

His estate was not settled until 22 December 1714 (Volume 9, pages 17 and 18 of the Hartford Probate Court Records). Since his wife was not included in the settlement, or in an agreement between his sons in 1707, it is assumed that she died befor 4 March 1707.

Ben M. Angel notes: The main naval disaster recorded in the West Indies in 1692 took place on June 7 when a catastrophic earthquake struck Jamaica, sinking most of Port Royal, which had been built on fill that liquefied and flowed into the nearby bay, and sending a tsunami crashing into the city - the wave size was at least as tall as a second or third story house. A total of 1,000-3,000 people died in the event, and disease ran rampant afterward. His failure to return may have been presumed to having been lost at sea because of this event, though all that is really known is that he simply didn't return.
