Comments: Since Thomas Judd did not leave a will, we have no complete, explicit list of his children. The compilation of nine children presented here is found in all secondary sources, and is arrived at by putting together various small pieces of evidence. Baptismal records exist for Ruth and Philip. John Winthrop Jr. treated four of them at one time: William, John, Benjamin and Samuel. William and Thomas are called sons in deeds made by the immigrant. Elizabeth and Mary carried the surname Judd in their marriage records, and there was no other Judd family in New England for them to belong to. The Farmington Church records include a list of the six youngest children of Thomas Judd, as noted in the individual entries above [Farmington ChR 1:49-50]. Better evidence for the marriages of the three youngest children would be welcome.
The town of Farmington began compiling its individual landholding inventories in the late 1670s, very close to the time that Thomas Judd married his second wife and moved to Northampton. This listing of the land of Deacon Thomas Judd is undated, but must have preceded the May 1679 sale of several parcels to his son William, since the first and second parcels conveyed to William in this deed were the second and third items in the inventory of Deacon Thomas Judd. Since these latter two parcels were purchased by Thomas Judd rather than granted to him by the town, and since we see from the deed to William Judd that Deacon Thomas had already transferred land to his son Thomas, we conclude that Deacon Thomas had already distributed most of his land to his children by 1679.
Bibliographic Note: In 1856 Sylvester Judd prepared a comprehensive genealogy of Thomas Judd and His Descendants [Northampton 1856]. Judd's work was consistently excellent and this volume is one of the best genealogies published at this formative period for genealogical scholarship.
In 1948 Donald Lines Jacobus compiled a brief, solid account of the family of this immigrant [Brainerd Anc 177-78]."
7. Information on Elizabeth's father: The following is at a Web Site called "Where to Begin?" The site is at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/2663/journal.htm: "The Deacon Thomas Judd was born Thomas Judd around 1608 in England, the same year that Quebec was founded. Thomas married a woman, probably in England. It is possible that their two children were Elizabeth and William, it is unknown which is older, nor is it known for sure if they were born in England or on the ship on the way over to America. It is also possible that his first wife died on the trip. These trips by our Ancestors prove to take their toll on many people. Sometimes the ships and/or crew were unprepared for such a long journey.
With no water to drink, and no place to wash or even a bathroom. The thought comes to mind of so many people tugging on the Captain's shoulders crying "Are we there yet?" Thomas arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1633 or 1634 only 13 years after the famous Mayflower landed in Plymouth. It may be interesting to note that most of the people who arrived on these ships were "entitled" to land and/or goods once they arrived. The amount of land may have depended on many different things, the size of the family, the amount of participatation or help they leant to the group, as well as the prominence of the person. Sometimes these lands were set by the King of the country in which the people departed, in this case it is possible that King Edward I was responsible for granting Thomas Judd his 4 acres of land.
Thomas received the land in August of 1634 the location of which is described as being the West-End of Cambridge on the north-east side of the highway to Watertown. This land must not have been the only land he was entitled to, as he is also listed as receiving a portion of Meadow ground on August 20, 1635. Thomas was now a farmer. He built a home on the original 4 acres and on May 25, 1636 was admitted a Freeman of the colony. Ironically, it is more than probable that Thomas left Cambridge during the same week as he was admitted a Freeman of Cambridge. He was one of the members of Thomas Hooker's group that traveled up the Connecticut River to Hartford, CT. The Deacon Thomas Judd was named with Thomas Hooker in several history and genealogical books I have found; it may even be possible that the Deacon Thomas Judd was on the same ship with Thomas Hooker, if this is the case, the ship's name was the Griffen. It is also possible that since the Deacon Thomas Judd and Thomas Hooker were of the same group, that the Deacon Thomas Judd was one of many who came to America to leave the church of England. Thomas Hooker accepted the doctrines of Church of England but did not believe the ceremonies were biblical. In 1630 the Archbishop (Laud) attempted to silence Hooker for his nonconformity. When Hooker was called to appear before the High Commission, he fled to Holland where he preached at both Delft and Rotterdam. In 1633, Hooker, along with other Puritan preachers like John Cotton and Samuel Stone fled to America on the Griffen. A joke among the Puritans was that this group was guaranteed success because they had Cotton (John) for their clothes, Hooker (Thomas) for the fishing and Stone (Samuel) for their building. Thomas Hooker also did not get along with some of the people in Massachusetts, so he left, along with many other people, including Thomas Judd to establish the town of Hartford, Connecticut. In 1638, three of the towns of Connecticut met to form a government. Thomas Hooker preached to the General Court at that time and believed that the foundation of a government authority should be "laid in free consent of the people, that choice of public magistrates belongs unto the people by God's own allowance." This statement can be found to derive from Deuteronomy 1:13 which states "Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you." This was then the basis of the government formed in 1638 and the basis of the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, which was the first Constitution in America. To further look into the possibilities of a connection from the Deacon Thomas Judd to Thomas Hooker, we can wonder if they had a connection before the ship. We know that it is difficult to find where the Deacon Thomas Judd came from, perhaps this is because the Deacon Thomas Judd went with Thomas Hooker to Holland? Maybe the travels of the Deacon Thomas Judd were so often that he did not show up in the records of England? The only thing to use now is the clues and the guesses of the words of the past, which is what I am doing here, I will make sure that it is known that I am either speculating or if it is fact. To continue, the Deacon Thomas Judd must have remained in Hartford for a few years; his home there was built on about two acres of land and had gardens and other out buildings. His land butted up against a James Cole's land on the south end. My step-sister's husband is named Cole, it may be interesting to find a connection here. Thomas then left Hartford and went on to Farmington, where he became one of the first proprietors of that town. It may be somewhat interesting to try to think of Thomas' personal ordeal through all of this traveling. We know that he is very much a Christian (eventually he will be known as Deacon Thomas Judd). We also think that his first two children, Elizabeth and William, may have been born before all of this traveling. For a man to carry two small children through all of this, build their house (three times) and eventually become a prominent man of the community is by far a sign of times to come more than 350 years later. Thomas may have had a little help in the care for his children, it is possible that he married his second wife anytime during these travels. His third child Thomas was born after 1634 but before 1641. During a long span of time from May of 1647 to October of 1679, Thomas Judd was a deputy of the General Court. He was also a member of the church under the direction of Rev. Thomas Hooker and Rev. Samuel Stone. Being associated with both the church at Hartford and Cambridge. He stayed with the church at Hartford until Farmington had a church of their own on October 13, 1652. The first pastor of that church was Rev. Roger Newton, 1652. The second was Rev. Samuel Hooker, 1661. Stephen Hart became the first deacon of that church and Thomas the second. He was known as the Deacon Thomas Judd from 1668 on. In the Connecticut Colony records he is listed as Deacon Thomas Judd, it was as if he had changed his name. For from this point forward he would always be referred to as the Deacon Thomas Judd. The deacon was one of the first 84 proprietors of Farmington. Farmington was a very large township, consisting of 5 or 6 townships itself. A key hint as to when Thomas married his second wife is in the fact that five of his sons are listed as being among the 84 proprietors in Farmington in 1673. Samuel was not yet of age, therefore not listed. This statement (which is listed in "Thomas Judd and His Descendants" by Sylvester Judd) shows that these 4 sons had to have been born at least 16 years before 1673. This same statement has also shown me to have some sort of an argumentative as to when the children were born. It is listed that Samuel was born in 1651 or 1653 in the same book, yet it says in the statement that he was not of age in 1673. The question then is what is "of age"? Samuel would have been 21 or 23, the probability is that he was born late in 1651 and was not over 21 on the day in 1673 when land was distributed. If you are confused, imagine how I feel after I find the evidence to prove or disprove it, then I have to change all kinds of things. There is also conflicting information as to how many children Thomas had. Sylvester Judd lists 6 sons and 3 daughters. I have listed 7 sons and 3 daughters. The first of those daughters, and quite possibly the first child of the Deacon was Elizabeth Judd.

9. The book "Emerson-Benson Saga …," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 351-53:
"JOSEPH1 LOOMIS (JOHNA LUMACE, JOHNB LUMMYS, THOMASC) was born by 1590, perhaps in Braintree, county Lincoln, England, and died 25 November 1658 at Windsor, CT. He was the son of JOHNA LUMACE, a tailor of Thaxted and Braintree and AGNESA LINGWOOD and JANE MARLAN?, daughter of WILLIAMB and MARGARETA (PERYE) MARLAN? of Braintree. He was also the grandson of JOHNB LUMMYS, a carpenter of Thaxted, and Kryster [sic: Krysten] (Christian (___). JOSEPH1 married 30 June 1616 at Messing, county Essex, England, MARY1 WHITE, daughter of ROBERTA, a wealthy yeoman, and BRIDGETA (ALLGAR) WHITE of Shalford, county Essex. MARY1 was baptized 24 August 1590 at Shalford and died 23 August 1652 at Windsor. MARY1's younger sister, ANNA1, married ancestor JOHN1 PORTER.
United States President Ulysses Simpson Grant (18th Chief Executive), Stephen Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th), and Gerald Rudolph Ford, (38th), were descendants of MARY1's parents and Millard Fillmore (13th President), of her and her parents.
JOSEPH1 was a woolen draper, He and his wife lived in Braintree until 1628. They moved to London and from there sailed with their eight children 11 April 1638 aboard the "Susan and Ellen", the same ship that ancestor Rev. PETER1 BULKELEY had taken in 1635. The LOOMIS family arrived in Boston 11 July 1638, they may have spent their first year in Dorchester, MA, but moved by land in the summer of 1639 to Windsor, CT, "Probably in the company of Reverend Ephraim Huet who arrived there August 17, 1639" (ref. 3). "On 2 Feb. 1640 he had granted to him 21 acres on the west side of the Connecticut River adjoining the Farmington River" (ref. 6). JOSEPH1 continued to acquire land and served on juries in 1642 and in 1644 with Nathaniel1 Foote, brother of ancestor MARYA FOOTE. "On 6 January 1650, he was sued by" [ancestor WILLIAM1 BUELL] "for trespass and for damage to the extent of seven bushels of corn; one may infer that his stock got away from him" (ref. 3).
JOSEPH1 apparently left no will. His estate was valued at 178 pounds 10 shillings, with "a 'debt in England'" (ref. 3) of 12 pounds 14 shillings 6 pence against it. On December 1658, his wife having predeceased him, his five sons and three daughters (two represented by their husbands) signed an agreement in place of a will to divide JOSEPH's estate equitably among them.
The children of JOSEPH1 and MARY1 (WHITE) LOOMIS, all probably born in Braintree, county Lancaster, England, and probably not all listed in the correct order of birth, were.
