Thomas (the elder) Bastard |
- Researching this family presents a number of challenges, none more so than identifying the many with the forename "Thomas". "Bastard Brothers" in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_brothers resolves one of these issues - who was "Thomas the elder" and who was "the younger"?
"In the younger generations there were two Thomases, "the elder" (1720 - 1771), son of Samuel, and "the younger" (1724 - 1791), son of Thomas (died 1731) (Cornforth)"
