Biography
Thomas Linthicum Sr. was a Maryland colonist.
Thomas was a Friend (Quaker)
Birth and Parents
Name
There are several versions of the Linthicum name:
Birth
"Thomas Lincecomb, according to a deposition made by him was born in the yeare 1640, and therefore was only a lad of 18 years when he landed in America. It has been recorded that he settled on West River and was a member of the Friends in that community. [2][4]
Thomas Linthicum was born before 1645 in Wales.[5]
Immigration
"The name Linthicum, originally spelled Lincecomb and rarely found outside of Maryland in the colonial period, was brought to America by a young Quaker lad, sometime before 1658." [2]
"Thomas Lincecomb entered Maryland prior to the yeare 1658 in the company with Henry Dabwoll, Rebecca Williams, William Worrall, Robert Bennett, and Eleanor Matthews -- all under the protection of Edward Selby. On July 23, 1658, Edward Selby proved his rights to 300 acres of land for the transportation of these six settlers, and at the same time he declared that Eleanor Matthews was then his wife." [2]

1668 Marriage to Jane
On 9 June 1667 in Anne Arundel County he married Jane Spurlock, born 1646, Wales d. Aft 1702, Anne Arundel County, Maryland[5]
About 1668 Thomas Lincecomb married Jane ___, no doubt a daughter of one of the Quaker families of West River. [2]
Residences and Property
"Thomas Lincecomb, according to a deposition made by him was born in the yeare 1640, and therefore was only a lad of 18 years when he landed in America. It has been recorded that he settled on West River and was a member of the Friends in that community. [2]
"How long he dwelt on West River is not known, but before his death he maintained his dwelling and plantation at "Margaret's Fields" which lay at the mouth of South River. Margaret's Fields was surveyed January 19, 1650 for William Pennington who assigned it to William Poll. The latter sold it to George Saughier who afterwards conveyed it to Thomas Linthicum." [2]
On January 11, 1669, Thomas Linthicum and Richard Snowden purchased from George Yate "the Iron Mine" at the head of South River, lying next to the land laid out for Jerome White called "White Hall." On June 8, 1675 he sold his share to Richard Snowden. [2]
"Shortly afterwards he purchased for L40 a tract of land from Thomas Bevan and Prostisia his wife, of Anne Arundel County. This land had been patented by Jeremiah Hastings who willed it to his daughter Mary, the late wife of Philip Hoboger. The latter conveyed it to William Ramse who by his will dervised it to his wife Prostisia. His widow, Prostisia married secondly Thomas Bevan, thus they deeded it to Thomas Linthicum." [2]
Thomas Lincecomb received his first grant of land in 167 when he patented "Lincecomb Stopp" of 50 acres on the south side of South River adjoining "Margaret's Fields." Two years later he received "Lincecomb's Lott" of 75 acres which lay on the north side of Three Island Bay. [2]
Quakers and Anglicans
"Thomas Linthicum during one of the men's monthly Quaker meetings at the dwelling of Thomas Hooker stated that they were "like a jury meeting", whereupon he was tried and censured. He and his wife had previously contributed 1000 pounds of tobacco to the church. His wrath over the censure prompted him to demand the return of his tobacco which was paid December 4, 1684, from the tobacco barn of William Richardson. This unfortunate incident no doubt caused him to return to the Church of England, for thereafter we find him a member of All Hallow's Church in the South River Hundred." [2]

In LInthicum family lore, I believe this same deposition is supposed to be the source of the "I am a gentleman from Wales" quote that has caused Linthicum researchers so much angst. ~~Terry Linthicum
