Ancestor's Life Events

Thomas Adgate "Nothing is know of Thomas Adgate previous to his arrival in Saybrook. The name of his first wife, and the date of her death, are unknown. The births of two daughters are recorded at Saybrook, Elizabeth (b. 1651), and Hannah (b. 1653). Between 1658 and 1660, Thomas Adgate married Mary (Marvin) Bushnell, widow of Richard Bushnell, and daughter of Matthew Marvin or Norwalk. On their arrival at Norwich, the household consisted of Deacon Thomas and his wife, his two daughters, Elizabeth and Hannah, and the four Bushnell children, Joseph, Richard, Mary, and Mercy. Three other daughters were born in Norwich, and one son. The family must have been not only a very united one, but uncommonly attractive as well, for Richard Bushnell married his step-sister, Elizabeth Adgate, and one by one the neighbors' sons succumbed to the charms of the remaining daughters."

Biography Thomas Adgate first appeared in Saybook, Connecticut around 1650. According to some sources (for example, Caulkins, "History of Norwich", p.155) he may have been the only immigrant to New England named Adgate. So it's possible that most, if not all, of the Adgates in America are his descendants. http:/www.conovergenealogy.com/ancestor-p/p14.htm Dea. Thomas Adgate was born in 1620 at England. His mother was Elizabeth Chester. He married a Elizabeth unknown abt. 1650 in England and had two children: Elizabeth Adgate and Hannah Adgate. The children were born in CT. He married Mary Marvin, daughter of Matthew Marvin and Elizabeth Gregory, in 1660 at Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut. Dea. Thomas Adgate died on July 21, 1707 at Norwich, New London County, Connecticut. He is buried at Old Burying Ground, Norwich, New London Co., Connecticut. Thomas was first ordained to his office in the First Church of Saybrook in 1646. He was one of the earliest propietors of Saybrook and Lyme. He resigned his post in Saybrook in 1660, when he removed to Norwich where he was one of the first 35 proprietors. He was made a freeman in Norwich in 1669. He was a townsman there in 1674, 1676, 1679, 1680, 1682, 1684 and 1686. When the meeting house was enlarged in 1698 he was given some of the best seats due to his rank and stature as one of the oldest and most respected citizens. By his first marriage he had two daughters. The oldest, Elizabeth, later married her step-brother, Richard Bushnell Jr. His will was date 22 May 1704 and says in part, "I Thomas Adgate, being in the 84th year of my age". In his will, he spelled his name "Adgit". He was buried in the Old Burying Grounds in Norwich. Note: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Gov. Thomas Dewey, Adlai Stevenson III, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Jan Garrigue Masaryk (foreign minister of Czechoslovakia) are descendants of Thomas and his first wife. |
