William Thrall, was born in England in 1605, and in 1630 became a member of the Congregational church, which was formed in Plymouth, England, under the ministry of Rev. John Wareham. On March 20, of that year, a company set out from Plymouth in the “Mary and John” And were put ashore at Nantasket Point, Massachusetts. May 30 Mr. Wareham and the larger part of his congregation settled at Windsor, Connecticut, in 1635, and William Thrall was probably among these.
He took an active part in the Pequot war, and in 1646 purchased land in Windsor, where he settled with his family. As this location was distant from any neighbors and exposed to attacks from the Indians, he was exempted from the duties of “watch and ward,” to which all able bodied men of the settlement were liable. This location has ever since been occupied by his descendants, who have maintained the reputation of the family for thrift, industry, public spirit and all that constitutes good citizenship. He contributed two shillings and six pence to the Connecticut relief fund for the benefit of the poor in other colonies.
His wife “Old Goode Thrall,” died July 30, 1676. They had sons Timothy and David.

William Thrall was born in August, 1605 in Sandridge, Hertsfordshire, England, and baptised there on August 8. His father was also named William. The younger William Thrall came to Windsor before the Pequot War, in which he was a soldier from Windsor. He was granted land in 1640. In 1646, he and Robert Wilson bought Hoyte's Meadow, which must have been far from the town, because he was exempted from the duty of "watch and ward", so he could be home nights with his family. William died August 3, 1679 at 73 years. "Old Goode Thrall", probably his wife, died July 30, 1676. They were the parents of at least three children.
William left a will, dated December 11, 1678. In it, he names his son Timothy and daughter Phillipi Hosford and granddaughter Sarah Hosford.
