Research note
Thomas died probably in August of 1653, Sulgrave, Northampton, England perhaps following a fire. From House of Commons Journal Volume 7: 22 August 1653, Journal of the House of Commons: volume 7: 1651-1660, pp. 305-306, there is a granting of a petition of relief from a significant loss by fire for Thomas Briggs and others of 1,738 Pounds.
His will was written August 12, 1652 and proved on May 5, 1653.
Thomas’ will quite clearly shows the relationships to his son Edward and Edwards wife and children; his wife Alice; and his deceased son Henrie’s family. Given on one of the merged profiles. This death date would make Thomas almost 100 years old. Not impossible, but questionable.
