Thomas, third son of Robert and Elizabeth Waterman was born in 1644. He was married to Miriam Tracy, of Norwich, in November, 1668. (Page 43.) They had eight children. Thomas was one of the original purchasers of Norwich, to which place he removed in or about 1660. His granddaughter Hannah (through son, John) was the mother of Benedict Arnold.


"THOMAS WATERMAN was nephew to the wife of John BRADFORD. Robert WATERMAN and Elizabeth BOURN, of Marshfield, were married Dec. 9, 1638. Thomas, their second son, was born in 1644, and probably came to Norwich with his Uncle BRADFORD. In November, 1668, he was joined in wedlock with Miriam, only daughter of Thomas TRACY. The Waterman house-lot was next to that of Major Mason, and the dwelling-house was built at a light turn of the town street, opposite the residence of the late Dr. Turner. It projected awkwardly into the highway, which now passes over the site. The old well that stood by the house, is under the street..."
