notes

"THOMAS LORD, who was born in England about 1585, was the American Founder of the Lord family, the records of which, in the mother country, are traceable upon the Hundred Rolls, and other documents back to the thirteenth century."

"Thomas Lord, the founder of the American branch of the famly to which attention is called in this article, sailed from London in 1635, accompanied by his wife Dorothy and his children, Thomas, Ann, William, John, Robert, Aymie and Dorothy. He first established himself at Newtown, as it was then called, but which afterwards became known as Cambridge, Mass, where his eldest son, Richard Lord, born in 1611, who preceded his father, had already settled as early as 1632."

"William Lord, the fourth child of Thomas Lord, was born in England in 1623, and was a lad of about twelve years of age when he came to this country with his parents."

"William Lord's elder sister, Ann, married Thomas Stanton, who, in the early history of New England, was Interpreter-General of the United Colonies." (3)

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LTGC-F2R Thomas was a man of means, position and influence. From Hatten's Original List we learn that on April 29, 1635 Thomas age 50 and his wife Dorothy 45, and their 7 children were registered from the Port of London to New England on the ship Elizabeth Ann in 1636. Thomas and his family joined the party of Rev. Thomas Hooker and 100 others which departed from Newtown which later became Cambridge to form a new settlement on the Connecticut River. Thomas and Robert Lord became an original proprietor and one of the first settlers of Hartford Connecticut.

From Find-A-Grave:

In the early part of the seventeenth century, there were four "Lords" who settled in this country: Nathan Lord landed in Kittery, Me; Thomas Lord, who landed in Boston, Mass.; William Lord who landed in Salem, Mass.' and Robert Lord who landed at Ipswich, Mass. They were not brothers, but they were probably descended from the same "Lord" family back in history.

The name, Lord, was derived with the Anglo-Saxon Ord or Ored, a governor, with the prefix L' or Le, denoting the person or place. The Gaelic ar. lord--high, lofty, the prime chief, superior.

"The Descendants of Thomas For, an original proprietor an founder of Hartford, Conn. in 1636" ____________________________________ The son of Richard & Jeane Lord of County Towchester, Northampton, England, he married first Dorothy Buckley, daughter of Edward Buckley & sister of Rev. Peter Buckley. After her death, he married Dorothy Bird 23 Feb 1610/1611 in Townschester.

Thomas Lord aged 50, Dorothy Lord aged 46 (his second wife), son Thomas aged 16, Ann aged 14, William aged 12, John aged 10, Robert aged 9, Aymie aged 6, and Dorothy aged 4, came from England on The "Elizabeth Ann" to Cambridge Mass, 1635. [Hotten's "Original Lists"] The oldest son, Richard had come to America in advance to find a place to settle.

They joined Rev. Thomas Hooker's party leaving Newtown and traveling though wilderness and rough terrain for nearly a fortnight purchasing land from the leader of the Suckiage Indians, Chief Sequassen where they founded Hartford, Conn. in 1636.

Thomas was an original proprietor of Hartford, Conn. His name is on the Founder's Monument in the Ancient Cemetery where he is buried. He and his family lived on the north side of the highway on the bank of the Little River (later Wells Street) near Gov. Haynes, Rev. Hooker, Mr. Goodwin and Gov. Wyllys. His sons, Richard and Thomas had the lots next to him. Thomas & Dorothy (Bird) Lord were the parents of at least nine children all being born in England.

GEDCOM Note

First Settlers of the Colony.
Lord, Thomas, came to Hartford from Cambridge, Mass., in 1636. His ancestor was John Lord, and was in the division of lands at Hartford in '39. His children were, Thomas, Richard, William, Dorothy, Robert, John and Amy. He is the ancestor of the Lord family of this State.

He was an original proprietor at Hartford, and his home lot in 1639 was on the highway on the bank of the Little River, now Wells St.

He came from Towchester, Northants, Hartford, England and went first to Cambridge, Mass., then on to Hartford, Conn. His ship was the “Elizabeth and Ann’ Roger Coepor, Master. They sailed in mid May and arrived in Boston in mid summer. 102 passengers (Public Records Office) MSS.

He was 50 years old when he emigrated and brought with him his wife and seven younger children.

First Settlers of the Colony. Lord, Thomas, Jr., Hartford. In 1652 was a surgeon and physician, and thought of leaving Hartford; to prevent which the General Court contracted with him, that if he would remain in Hartford one year, and use his best skill with the inhabitants of the towns upon the river, both for setting bones and in the practice of physic, that the Court would pay him a salary of £15; and that he should in addition receive for visiting at any house in Hartford, 12 pence as reasonable pay; any house in Windsor, 5 shillings; any house in Wethersfield, 3 shillings; any in Farmington, 6 shillings, and in Mattabeseck, (Middletown,) 8 shillings. Dr. Lord informed the Court he required no more. A law was therefore enacted to this effect, confirming the contract. The Doctor was also by the law freed from watching, warding and training, but not from finding arms. He was the first physician mentioned upon the record, and was probably the first regular bred surgeon in the colony, or he would not have been thus by the General Court solicited to remain in Hartford upon a salary paid by the public. Some of the Lord family settled at Haddam, Saybrook and New London. The next surgeon employed by the public was Daniel Porter. In 1655 the General Court ordered him to be paid out of the public treasury, a salary of £6, and 6 shillings a journey to each town on the River, to exercise his art of Chirurgery (surgery.)
