New Biography

Thomas Blossom was born by 1580, based on the date of his marriage. The place of his birth may have been Little Shelford, co. Cambridge, where today neither registers nor transcripts exist before 1600.[16]Robert Charles Anderson says he was "probably son of Peter and Annabel (_____) Blossom of Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire. (See Mayflower Descent 39:181-82 for a less likely preposed parentage).[17]

It seems obvious that Thomas must have gone to school in the famous university town of Cambridge, but no records have been found that he attended the university. Several of his letters have survived which indicate they were written by an educated man. It was probably at Cambridge where he absorbed the principles of Puritan Separatism and where he met and was influenced by Mr. John Robinson, who would later become the pastor of the Pilgrims at Leyden.

Thomas married Anne Elsdon (or Helsdon[16]), on November 10, 1605 at St. Clement's, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.[17][18]Her surname is spelled "Heilsdon" in the English marriage records.[19]His wife may have been the "An" who was the daughter of Cuthbert and Margaret Elsden who was baptized at Soham, co. Cambridge on June 23, 1583. The Helsdons lived in Cambridge for many years and Anne may have been related to Christopher Helsdon, alterman of Cambridge, whose will was dated December 31, 1597.[16]

As a Pilgrim, Thomas Blossom was a member of a section of the Puritan religion that sought to purify and separate themselves from the Anglican church. They wanted the Anglican church to return to earlier practices of Christianity where the Bible was the only true source of religious teaching and church traditions had no regard.[20]

In 1607 when the Bishop of York raided homes and placed several members of sect known as Pilgrims in prison, several people leaving England and migrating to the Netherlands, first to Amsterdam and then to Leiden in 1609. (It is not known if Thomas and Anne were in Amsterdam, but they were in Leiden by October 27, 1609 for a young man named George Rogers matriculated as a student at the University of Leiden, and stated that he lived with Thomas Blossom.) On March 12, 1610, Thomas Blossom of Leiden gave power of attorney to his wife Anne, authorizing her to sell land in Cambridge, especially two parcels in St. Giles' parish, which she inherited by the will of her maternal granndfather. One of their children were buried in the churchyard of the Pieterskerk at Leiden on April 12, 1617.[16] In Leiden the Pilgrims were free to worship as those chose, however when their children began acquiring Dutch customs and English authorities came to Leiden to arrest William Brewster in 1618, it was time for the people to move even further away from England.[20]They had been in Holland for twelve years.[16]

Thomas, Anne and their young son firstly sailed on the 60 ton Speedwell in 1620 to Southampton where they joined a larger ship, the famous Mayflower. [16]But the Speedwell wasn't sea worthy so they had to return to Leiden, where their son died sometime before December 1625. Three more children were born in Leiden - Elizabeth, Thomas and Peter. [18]When his well-loved pastor, Mr. John Robinson, died at Leiden on March 1, 1624/5 those still in Holland wrote several letters to their "brethren in the Lord" at Plymouth in New England. One of the letters dated Leiden November 30, 1625 was signed by "Your assured loving friends And Brethren in the Lord, Francis Jessopp, Thomas Nash, Thomas Blossom, Roger White, and Richard Maisterson."[16]

The family (consisting of Thomas and Anne, children Elizabeth, Thomas, Peter) finally migrated to Plymouth, Plymouth Colony in winter 1628/9 or very early in March 1629.[16][18]from Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands.[17]They sailed from Holland to England and then boarded the second Pilgrim ship of the name of Mayflower which sailed from Gravesend, William Peirce, Captain. The ship had 35 passengers, many from Leiden, including Blossom's friend Richard Masterson and his family. The Mayflower landed at Salem on May 15, 1629 and the passengers were brought to Plymouth by boat. [16]He was a witness to the will of widow Mary Ring on October 28, 1633.[21]

Thomas Blossom died in Plymouth before July 1, 1633 as a letter of that date from Rev. Ralph Smith in Plymouth to Rev. Hugh Goodyear in Leiden says, "Tho: Bloso[m] our brother who now sleepeth..." On March 25, 1633 the Plymouth tax list says, "Widdow Blossome was assessed 9 s. Thomas was one of those who Bradford records as dying in the infectious epidemic of 1633.[17]The inventory of his estate was dated June 9, 1650; includes a house, gardens, orchards, meadow, 8 acres of upland and several additional items.[22] His widow married Henry Rowley (as his second wife) at Plymouth on October 17, 1633.[23][24]

Children of Thomas and Anne:[17]
  1. child, buried at Pieterskerke, Leiden on April 12, 1617
  2. Son born by 1620 who was with his father on the Speedwell in 1620. He returned to Leiden and there he died by December 15, 1625. Thomas Blossom writes of his death in a letter to Brewster dated Leyden, December 15, 1625.[25]
  3. Elizabeth was born about 1620. She married Edward FitzRandolph at Scituate on May 10, 1637.[26]She married (2nd) to Captain John Pike at Piscataway, New Jersey.[16]
  4. Thomas was born about 1623. He married Sarah Ewer at Barnstable on June 18, 1645.[17][26]He married Feere Robinson on December 3, 1695 at Sandwich.[27]
  5. Peter was born after 1627. He married Sarah Bodfish at Barnstable on June 21, 1663.[28]

Research Notes

1. Reasons for believing he was the son of Peter and Annabel Blossom are:[16]

(a) Peter had minor children at the time of his death.
(b) minor children may have been baptized at Little Shelford, a parish which adjoins Great Shelford and Stapleford.
(c) When Annabel remarried to Richard Bracher, it would have been natural for the ounger children to accompany their mother and stepfather to Cambridge.
(d) The first record found of Thomas Blossom is his marriage at Cambridge.
(e) Thomas Blossom's named one of his sons Peter, despite the fact that this name was seldom used by Puritans because it would have referred too much to St. Peter and the Papacy. The name would have been given to honor his own father, not the Papacy.

2. alternative candate for the parents of Thomas Bloosom; although he cannot be identified as an immigrant who came to New England. Mrs. Margaret Bone of Cambridge England documents Thomas Blossham born 26 Feb. 1566/7 was the son of John Blossham and his wife Johane of Wisbech, co. Cambridge. Thomas is mentioned as less than 12 years, and at that age would inherit the house, half the barn and 18 acres of land. He would have been 38 years old at his marriage to Anne Helsdon, making it less likely that this is our migrant, since men married much younger during this time period.

3. Although notes found in the Massachusetts Vital Records call Thomas Blossom "Deacon,"[29]Robert Charles Anderson in his sketch of Thomas Blossom says Morton's claim that Blossom was briefly a deacon at Plymouth should not be accepted. See bottom of p. 183.[17]

Biography

Born by 1580 based on date of marriage; Coddington and McLean make the case for him being son of Peter and Annabel (_____) Blossom of Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire[30]

He married Anna Elsdon 10 Nov 1605 at St. Clement's, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.[TAG 63:70], probably the "An" daughter of Cuthbert & Margaret (_____) Elsden bpt Soham, Cambridge, 23 Jun 1583; she m2 at Plymouth 17 Oct 1633 Henry Rowley (as his second wife) [PCR 1:16].

His correspondence with William Bradford indicates substantial education [MHSC 3:41-42, 44; MD 5:165-67, 169-70]. This may have taken place at Cambridge, although there is no evidence of him on the university records there.

"In his letter to Bradford from Leiden, dated 15 Dec 1625 [NS], Blossom closes by stating that "God hath taken away my son, that was with me in the ship, when I went back again; I have only two children which were born since I left you" [MD 5:166-67]. This statement assists greatly in arranging the list of Blossom's children. It also seems to be the only source for the claim that Blossom was one of the passengers on the Speedwell in 1620, and that he and his son had to be left behind; while this is not the only possible conclusion to be drawn from this passage, it is reasonable..."[31]

He arrived at Plymouth shortly after 15 May 1629, having arrived with his family on the second Mayflower.

He died at Plymouth before 25 March 1633 when "Widdow Blossome" was assessed 9s [PCR 1:11]. By the date of the 1634 list she had remarried.

"In his history of Plymouth Bradford included an account of the infectious epidemic of 1633, and mentioned specifically Thomas Blossom, Richard Masterson and Samuel Fuller as dying in that year."[32]
"A Separatist at Leiden (Holland), Thomas Blossom gave his wife Ann a power of attorney to sell houses in Cambridge, England, which she had inherited from her mother's father [Dexter, p. 603]. He joined in signing a letter of 30 Nov 1625 from Leiden Separatists to (William) Bradford, and he was the sole signer of a letter of 15 December 1625 to Bradford [Bradford, Letter Book, p. 18,21]. In the December letter he deplores the difficulty the Leiden people had in reuniting with the Separatists in Plymouth, and he states that the only way the Leiden group could join the others would be with the means coming from Plymouth. He had set out on the Speedwell in 1620 and had to return to Leiden; he writes that the son that was with him in the ship had since died and he only had two children living, both born since he last saw Bradford. Blossom and his family reached Plymouth probably on the 1629 Mayflower. Sometime prior to August 1631 he witnessed the undated will of Mary Ring [MD 1:31]. He died in the sickness of 1633, as Bradford [Ford 2:171] noted, calling him one of "theire anciente friends which had lived in Holand." His widow, Anna, married 17 October 1633 Henry Rowley [PCR 1:16], and lived in Scituate. His son Thomas's marriage at Barnstable 18 June 1645 to Sarah Ewer, with Edmond Freeman performing the ceremony, was noted by Rev. John Lothrop [NEHGR 9:286].[33]

Biography 2

Thomas Blossom was born in 1580 Little Shelford, Cambridge, England. His parents were Peter BLOSSOM (1535- 1597) and Annabel [__?__] (1549 – 1617). He married Ann HEILSON 10 Nov 1605 in St Clements Church, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. He began the journey in the Speedwell, sister ship of the famous Mayflower, but the Speedwell had to turn back due to being unseaworthy. Thomas later arrived in Plymouth Colony on the 2nd voyage of the Mayflower in 1629. Thomas died in 1632 Plymouth, Massachusetts.

The Blossoms lived first at Great Shelford, then possibly Little Shelford, and moved to Stapleford, probably about 1582. Thomas’ father described himself as a”husbandman” [small farmer] in a 1585 deposition, but as a “labourer” in his 1597 will, indicating a lower economic status. After his death, his wife married (2) Richard Bracher at Stapleford on Feb 6, 1597/98, and moved with him to Cambridge.The educated language of Thomas Blossom’s letters to William Bradford have led some to speculate that Blossom attended Cambridge University, but there is no mention of his name in university records.

Thomas Blossom arrived in Leiden before October 27, 1609. His occupation while there was not recorded.

Thomas Blossom, was a prominent member of Rev. John Robinson’s church from the time its members left Scrooby in Nottinghamshire, England.

In 1620, the “Mayflower” and the “Speedwell” were to sail as companion ships for America. The “Speedwell” was a little ship of sixty tons, which had been purchased and fitted out in Holland for the Pilgrim congregation. She sailed July 26, 1620, from the port of Delfthaven, about twenty-four miles from Leyden, for Southampton in England, where the “Mayflower” for a week had been waiting with a partial list of passengers from London.

The Speedwell had a colorful history. Originally named Swiftsure, she was built in 1577 and took part in the English defeat of the Spanish Armada. She was renamed Speedwell in 1605. At sixty tons she was only a third the size of Mayflower.

It was found that the little “Speedwell” needed repairs before putting out to sea. Repairs were made at considerable expense and delay. The two vessels then set sail for their long voyage, but the “Speedwell” proved leaky and both vessels put into Dartmouth for further repairs. Then once more they sailed together and progressed some three hundred miles westward from Land’s End, when the captain of the “Speedwell” complained further of his boat’s unseaworthiness. Again the two vessels turned back, this time putting into Plymouth harbor, and here it was decided to dismiss the “Speedwell” after a redistribution of passengers and cargo.

Referring to this event, Governor Bradford wrote:

“So, after they had took out such provision as the other ship could well stow, and concluded what number and what persons to send back, they made another sad parting, the little ship (the “Speedwell”) going to London, and the other (the “Mayflower”) proceeding on her voyage.”

This grievous and discouraging work was performed by September 6, 1620, and eighteen persons returned in the “Speedwell” to Leiden by way of London, where the leaky boat was sold. Later, it was speculated that the master of the Speedwell had intentionally sabotaged his ship to avoid having to make the treacherous trans-Atlantic voyage.[citation needed]
