Notes for Thomas BARBER
Along with others, apprenticed to Francis Stiles, who was paid by Sir Richard Saltonstall to bring them to Windsor CT to build houses for those who would come from England later. They were on the shipping list, which gives Thomas's age as 21, for the Christian which left London on 16 March 1634/5, arrived in Boston on 16 June 1635, and reached Windsor via the Connecticut River about 1 July 1635. (cites TAG Apr 1996 and Stiles) [ [1047]] The Court at Hartford ordered Stiles to teach Thomas carpentry, along with fellow servants Thomas Cope and George Copple. [ [464]]
Recorded in the 1640 Town Records at Windsor in the list of “First Settlers of Windsor, five years after their removal from Dorchester.” (NEHGR 5:365) [The list includes people who arrived after 1635, such as those who came with Huit in 1639]
Connection to parents is through London records tracked down by Donald Barber [ [1047]]. In the records of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters at the Guildhall are found minutes for a meeting held on 18 December 1634. On page 352 of the court minute book for 1618-1635 (Volume 4 of Ms 4329, at Guildhall Library, Aldermanbury, London): "Received of Francis Stiles for apprenticing
