Note (10/21/2024): See that there are two Thomas Gardner profiles. One prior to the arrival which is associated with the Dorchester Company's activities. The other associates with the birth of Seeth here since records for the prior children have been found in records of Dorset, UK.
Reminder. Until we have this all settled, the TGS, Inc. is going with the notion that these two are the same guy. Lots of more work needs to be done in the research area.
