Biography

Thomas Lusk married Isable Johnson of Holliston of Lynn on 12 Jul 1737 in Holliston, Middlesex, Massachusetts.[1]

"Thomas Lusk was a member of the Newington church when Mr. Belden was settled, 1747. He had a brother, John, was was a merchant in Newington; also a brother William, who with his wife, came from Meriden to Newington church, by letter, Aug. 13th, 1749. These brothers were of Scotch origin, and settled in the north of Ireland for a time, and came to America early in the eighteenth century, and from them descended all of the name in Connecticut; it is said Gen. Levi Lusk, of martial spirit and revolutionary memory was a son of William, from meriden. It is thought Thomas, the subject of this notice, settled in that part of New Britain called "Strip-lane," where some of his descendents became large land-holders.[2]
