Thomas LINSFORD - d. between Oct. 1652 and Oct. 1655, Boston, MA. Owned property and built home on High Street in Boston. Deposition in Suffolk Court files indicates he lived there with his wife and daughter Elizabeth. The deposition and supporting documents appear in the Jan. 1917 issue of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register.

Elizabeth - Lived in Boston in Oct. 1652, and in London in Oct. 1655. Register of St. Olave, Hart Street, London contains the following entry: 1655 John son of Elizabeth Linsford "was borne in New England the last of March 1651 & baptized October the 1st". It would appear that she returned to London after the death of her husband, taking with her son John. Further, her daughter Elizabeth remained in New England, or returned at a later date.

1. Edward - b. estimated at 1647, MA; d. 1697, Braintree, MA. Probable son of Thomas and Elizabeth. Placed here on the basis that Thomas LINSFORD headed the only family of that name known to be in New England, and that the estimated birth date 'fits' well with supposed sister and brother. His death date is also reported in notes on file to be Mar. 1698, which would conflict with the deposition of supposed sister Elizabeth. However, this date is based on the granting of a letter of administration of his estate on March 31, 1698 to his son Samuel. Such grant may have occurred some time after his death. Further evidence is being sought.
2. Elizabeth - b. about 1649, MA; d. after 1697, MA. Depositions of Oct. and Dec. 1697 identify her as "the daughter and only surviving child of Thomas Linsford late of Boston." Married Nicholas BOONE of Boston, MA. Son Nicholas (b. Aug. 10, 1679, Boston, MA) was a bookseller at Boston.
3. John - b. Mar. 1651, Boston, MA; bap. Oct. 1, 1655, London, England.
