Biography

Thomas Weston was born in Fletching, Sussex, England.

Thomas Weston was born about 1732 and baptised on 23 April 1732 at Fletching, Sussex, England (near Newick) ^[1]. He was the son of Henry Weston and Elizabeth King ^[1].

He married Hannah Strudwick on March 11, 1744 at Fleet Prison, London, England. ^[2]. Together they had three children:

1. John Weston ^[3],
2. Alice Weston ^[4],
3. William Weston ^[5].

In 1744 when he married he was living at Newick in Sussex. Fleet Prison was a place where run-aways got married, as well as a debtors prison. Hannah Strudwick had been married before. It is uncertain what conclusion we can come to about this marriage,  but there is room for plenty of speculation. Fleet prison is no longer there, it is was demolished in 1844 and Ludgate Station now stands on the site. ^[2].

He died in June 1755 in Newick, Sussex, England^[6]
