Disputed Origins
Anthony Loring and Bridget (Sanders) Loring were previously attached as parents of Thomas Loring; however there is no supporting evidence (sources) for this parental relationship. They are being detached; but should reliable sources become available, they may certainly be reattached after collaboration with the profile managers. Thank you.
Biography
Birth
- Date: About December 1600, Axminster, Devon, England. Origin Axminster, Devon, England, emigration of 1635 based upon his 18 Sep 1635 land grant (HiBOP 14). [1]
Marriage
- Thomas married Jane Newton of Axminster, Devon, England sometime before 1625. Whilst the Loring Genealogy states that "Her ancestry is thus far unknown to her descendants"[2] (Book Page 1) there is a very good chance, unproven at this time, that Jane was born in the same area as Thomas.
Children of this marriage
Deacon Loring brought with him from England a wife Jane [Newton], and two sons, the younger four years old at the time. Two other sons were born in this country. Three brothers settled in Hull, Massachusetts; but Josiah continued to live in Hingham. Josiah Loring married Elizabeth, daughter of John Prince, the first of the Prince family who came to' America.

Arrival in America
- Thomas arrived in America on the 23rd December, 1634 and joined the church colony at Hingham, which had come from Hingham, Norfolkshire, under the lead of an Independent minister. Rev. Robert Peck.[2] (Book page 1)
On March 15, 1646, "all the houses of Thomas Loring and John Pratt burnt to the ground, being the Sabbath day in the morning."[6]

Historical Notes
- The Lorings are descended from Deacon Thomas Loring who came from Axminster, now a manufacturing town on the river Ax, Devonshire, England, to Dorchester, Massachusetts, December 22, 1634. Whilst there is a likelyhood that there is a connection between the Lorings of Chalgrave and Robert of Lorraine, also known as Robert of Hereford, a bishop of that see in 1079, erroneously reported in the Loring Genealogy on the first page of the introduction as 1279, no such connection has been established. Robert of Lorraine came to England with William the Bastard aka William the Conqueror.
- The pedigree of Sir Neal Loring of Chalgrave may be found on pages 12, 13 and 14 of the Visitations of Befordshire, 1566-1634. No other Lorings are found in that Visitation and it can be safely assumed that the right to bear the arms of Sir Neal Loring does not devolved upon the Lorings of Axminster as Sir Neal had no male issue of the flesh. The Visitations of Devon similarly show no Lorings other than one un-named whose widow married Randal of Kentisbury.
- Only Admiral Sir John Wentworth Loring holds a grant of arms in the period 1687 to 1898. The Lorings of America, and their English counterparts and descendants (the family returned) have no legal right to carry the arms of Sir Nele or Sir Petrus Loring. Despite this, as it states in the Loring Genalogy That the Lorings of New England were descendants of the race of Bedfordshire is very probable for the reason that the arms of Sir Nele Loryng have been hung up in their dwellings from the time of their ancestor of Hingham to the present period."[2] (Book page - Introduction xiii) This does not however amount to a grant of arms. Full details of Thomas Loring start on page 37.
Research Notes
- No historical evidence exists for the birth of Thomas. The determination of his approximate date of birth is explained in Early Lorings - Resolving some problems with Loring profiles.
