I believe it is indicated in the Anderson version, that the Noyes, Libby, and Davis account was inaccurate in it's use of "sergeant" for the son of Thomas the carpenter. The determination that the sergeant was the tanner was based on the death of Rebecca Clark, wife of Thomas Jr. tanner. She was called "Rebecca Clark, widow of Sergeant Thomas" at her death.
I am doing some close examination on this family. I think that both sources I referenced above (which are both secondary) are correct and incorrect in various places, and I'm trying to sort that all out. Happy to talk more, but do think at any rate it would be appropriate for the use of "tailor" instead of "sergeant" to describe this profile.
